The school was also established as a reform type of institution rather than a place just to imprison young off enders. Because of its architecture and being situated on a hill, it later became known as Preston Castle. It closed its doors in 1960 after new facilities were constructed below it.

A visit to the abandoned Preston Correctional Youth Facility is like walking into a sci-fi movie. You quickly find yourself walking through empty streets, passing boarded-up homes and coming upon mail boxes with their covers left open. These are the houses where the facility’s staff and correctional officers once lived. No one could be seen, no voices could be heard and no vehicles were in sight. There were no barking dogs and not even an insect could be seen. An eerie feeling comes over you. You are all alone – it felt like the world had ended. The sound of silence was deafening and you wanted to yell out, “Is anyone here!”

Looking down on the abandoned housing from a nearby hill stood the old Preston Castle. It stood alone like a haunted house

never wanting to reveal its secrets. A short walk from the abandoned homes you find a double fence that once kept the youth quartered and prevented their escape.

You turn a corner and at once feel at ease. You see a vehicle parked in front of the facility’s abandoned Visitors’ Center. You knock on the door and someone peers through the glass window. It is the facility’s lone guard employed by a private firm. He exits through another door and walks toward you. You no longer feel all alone. The guard’s name is Jason remitz.

Hopefully the pictures that accompany this writing will convey to you the uneasy feeling which came over this reporter when he recently visited the abandoned Preston Correctional Youth Facility.

IoNE – on June 30, 2011 the Preston Youth Correctional Facility officially closed. Since it first opened on July 1, 1894 as the Preston School of Industry in Ione, it had been a continuing source of employment and income to the rural community.

A visit to Ione, a city of 8,000, reveals how economically dependent Ione had been to the existence of Preston. To gain an understanding of the economic impact Preston’s closing has had on the city, TLSN visited its city hall and talked to some of the city’s locals.

At City Hall, City Clerk Janice Traverso said Preston’s closing has had a “tremendous impact.” A report prepared by the city just prior to Preston’s closure projected the following annual losses the city will incur due to Preston’s closure: a loss of $25,000 to $30,000 in vehicle license fees in lieu of property taxes, a loss of sales tax and property taxes which could exceed $100,000 and a loss of $1,200 per month in sewer fees from the facility.

Across the street from the City Hall is Clark’s Corner, a restaurant which serves espresso, lunch and dinner. It’s managed by Andrea Bonham-

radogna who also serves on Ione’s City Council. Bonham said it was still too early to determine how much impact Preston’s closing will have on her business.

“When Preston was closing it was a very stressful process,” Bonham said. “We had very short notice that it was closing. They had been talking about closing Preston for 10 to 15 years and it always had special programs that made it a little different so it was able to make it. So this one was definite, they were closing it no matter what we said.

“[People] didn’t feel like they gave any heads-up. All of a sudden it was boom you are going to close and there was no real open process. That caused the anxiety,” Bonham said. Bonham also said some people who worked at the facility were able to transfer or train for positions at other facilities.

Bonham said the city’s loss of $25,000 to $30,000 in vehicle license fees in lieu of property taxes alone is “a lot of money in a little budget. That’s one person’s job. That’s a good chunk!”

A short distance down the street from Clark’s Corner is Tilly’s Bar, a favorite hang-out for locals.

The bartender, who once worked at Preston, did not want to be pictured or named in this article. She said as a result of Preston closing, the bar sometimes closes at 7 p.m. rather than 10 p.m. She said the closing of Preston was politically motivated because Preston had proven it did the best job in rehabilitating young offenders.

olivia ohls, who frequents Tilly’s, said the bar’s business has decreased 25-percent since Preston closed. She recalls it being packed with people. Her husband had worked at Preston for 30-years before he retired a year ago. He recently passed-on.

Sitting near ohls in the bar was Paul Williams. He said his carpet cleaning business called “B-Line Carpet Cleaning” has decreased 25-percent since Preston closed.

Further down the street is robyn’s Nest Hair Salon. robyn ornsby is its hairstylist and owner. She said her business has decreased at least 10-percent as a result of Preston closing. She recalls correctional officers coming into her business in the mornings before their work shift started and in the afternoons after their shift ended.

Earl Wright, operator of the local Pizza Factory appreciated Preston’s closure. “They sometimes ordered 15 extra-large pizzas along with salads and two liters,” Wright said. He said people who worked there either moved or no longer have the income to frequent his business on a regular basis.

At Coldwell Banker, dale Turner, a broker

associate, said it is too early to tell what economic impact Preston’s closure will have on his business. “my best guess is that it will have a negative impact,” Turner said. His colleague mitzi Windley, a realtor, said since Preston closed there

are fewer people in the local grocery stores.This survey was not scientifically made, but

it does give some indication of the financial affect Preston’s closure has had on the city and its people. despite Preston’s closure and its apparent negative impact on local business, I was impressed with the people I talked to. They were in good spirit and carried with them an air of optimism. As I drove away from Ione to return home, I was confident the city and its people were going to make a financial comeback. I knew the giant shadow cast over Ione due to Preston’s closure would in time fade away.

VALLEY SPrINGS – For nearly six years dave Tanner, acting as a consultant to Tom Coe, has been attempting to create a shooting range in West Calaveras County, better known as the Coe Shooting range. Th e proposed range is to be located off of Watertown road outside of Valley Springs.

Th e county’s Planning Commission approved the creation of the shooting range, but the commission’s function is to make recommendations. Final decisions rest with the county Board of Supervisors.

Th e Board, going against the Commission’s recommendation, decided Coe will need a use permit for his m-2 zoned property if he wants to have a shooting range there. Th is is the result, in part, of a public hearing where the public addressed their concerns about safety and noise conditions at the proposed range.

Additionally, Gary Tofanelli, county supervisor for the area where the proposed shooting range is to be located, said there are 185 other parcels zoned m-2 in the county and to allow Coe to have a shooting range on his m-2 parcel, would necessarily mean shooting ranges would be allowable on the other 185 m-2 zoned parcels.

Th e Board found “a use permit would provide the county the ability to condition a proposed project and a mechanism to enforce those conditions.”

Aft er the Board’s decision, Coe and Tanner

were clearly frustrated. Th ey believed former county Planning director George White had approved their proposal to have a shooting range on the Coe’s property.

understanding their belief, Supervisor Tom Tryon told Tanner and Coe that even if White had approved the range, it would have still needed to be approved by the Board. Tanner told TLSN that Tryon’s conclusion was inaccurate, that White’s decision would bind the county to the agreement.

Having sat through the appeal process and seeing the frustration on the faces of Tanner and Coe aft er the Board’s decision, TLSN decided to contact Tanner, get some additional answers and view the property in question. Tanner agreed.

Th e fi rst thing I learned about Tanner is that he has more than 26 years of professional experience in land planning with golf course engineering, sports fi eld engineering projects and shooting range designs.

Th e second thing I learned was that Tanner is providing his consulting services to Tom Coe at no charge. When asked why, Tanner said that he believes the county’s youth needs a shooting range where they can practice and compete against other organizations without having to unnecessarily travel. Tanner has been active in the California Youth Sports Shooting Association for 11-years and is the organization’s current president.

Tanner also stressed the shooting range

would create jobs and create economic development since outside visitors to the range would necessarily have to stay, eat and spend money in the county.

Tanner was kind enough to drive me to the area where the proposed range is to be located. Th e initial entrance to the proposed shooting range is an old all-weather road initially created to reach a communications tower constructed for the railroad. Th e tower rests on a high hill that overlooks a portion of the shooting range area and beyond.

Tanner drove along this road for a time and then turned right. Within a short distance the location for the shooting range was in sight. We left his truck and viewed the land around us where the shooting range is to be located.

As he had stated before the Board of Supervisors, the shooting area is down in a bowl. “Th is is the trap fi eld location, the shotgun shooting fi eld,” Tanner said. “We have a backdrop of a hill behind the shooting fi elds and a foreground of a hill, so we are shooting in a bowl which helps to contain the sound. From here the sound is blocked. It’s buff ered by trees, grasslands and by the hill, the slope itself.”

Tanner said without any improvements, the tests for shotgun noise was measured at the site’s property line at 55 decibels, while auto traffi c, he said, measured at 80 to 90 decibels – the higher the number, the louder the sound. To my right

in the distance I could see the very tops of a few vehicles driving by, but they were from enough away that I could not hear them.

Tanner diff erentiated Coe’s Shooting range site from the gun shooting range in Angels Camp. Supervisor Tryon had complained that from his house he can hear gunshot noise emanating one and one-half miles away from the Angels Camp shooting range. Tanner said Coe’s shooting range was in a bowl where the sound would be buff ered, while the Angels Camp shooting range was on a plateau where sound was more likely to escape.

From there Tanner drove me to Tower Peak where the old railroad communications tower

stands. It provided a wide vista of the area and overlooked a portion of the shooting range. I looked near and far and saw few structures. Tanner said a great portion of the land I was viewing belongs to Coe. Tanner said the rolling hills I was viewing beyond the shooting range acted as additional buff ers to gunshot sounds emanating from the shooting range.

Tanner’s frustrations then resurfaced. “When our supervisors want something, they will fi ght for it,” Tanner said. “A great example is Ironstone. It is a tremendous asset for us. It is a great facility, but it was built without any conditions. Th ere are no conditional use permits, although they have these loud concerts out there. We don’t have that noise ordinance to shoot at and there is no set level that we have to achieve,” Tanner continued.

“We are the west side of Calaveras County – known as the ‘Arm Pit’. We have not gotten much from the county as far as improvement and developments. We have always been looked down upon. I have been trying to get projects passed here in Calaveras County for years. I have some projects that are now eight years old that are still held up in Planning and Public Works.”

What is Tanner’s next step? “Basically, we are starting over. We are going to be doing it again and it’s an absolute shame and waste of time because I don’t think anything is going to change. It’s still zoned industrial. We could have a land fi ll here without any permits. We could have automobile wrecking yards here. Th ink of the environmental impact that would be!”

To date, Tom Coe has spent some $150,000 attempting to get his shooting range established.

VALLEY SPrINGS – Congressman dan Lungren, California’s 3rd district, recently spent a busy day in Calaveras County. First, he was interviewed by TLSN. Next, he attended the Valley Springs Area Business Association’s luncheon at La Contenta as its guest speaker. He ended his day-long county visit in San Andreas where he was interviewed by Public Access Television.

during his interview with TLSN, Lungren said the number one question asked by his constituents is, “Why is the federal government spending money it does not have?”

Lungren said the federal government has been over-promising and spending money it does not have and pointed to stimulus spending as a prime example.

“Th e jig is up!” Lungren said. “You cannot continue to spend money you do not have.” He said the next federal elections will be important in determining the nation’s fi nancial future. He pointed to the Tea Party movement as having a positive impact in helping to return government back to focusing on its fi nancial responsibility.

Lungren diff erentiated between the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war in Libya. He said aft er 9/11 the united States went into Iraq and Afghanistan because “there are people there who want to kill us.”

With Libya he criticized President obama’s policy of

involvement in the war as a “total rejection” of how the executive and legislative branches are supposed to work together in time of war. He said there was no consultation by the President with Congress as required by the War Powers Act prior to u.S. involvement in the Libyan War.

He criticized the President for not expressing the reasoning behind the u.S. mission there nor setting any goals for u.S. involvement.

Lungren said the nation’s economy can be revived by applying new ideas through capital investment. He cited Tri Tool Inc. in rancho Cordova as a prime example of how research and investment can work together. He said the fi rm is well known for the technology it applies in cutting pipe and then being able to connect the pieces of pipe back together again.

Th roughout his speech delivered at the Valley Springs Area Business Association luncheon, Lungren continued his theme of government needing to be fi nancially responsible.

“We have debt problems back in d.C.,” Lungren said. “We got big problems. We got huge problems.”

Lungren said there was a presumption “that we could spend as much as we wanted to spend without regard to how much money we are taking in. And, therefore, how large the debt was and somehow there would not be a day of reckoning.”

He said people noticed the bad debt and this had an impact

on the last elections where the voters “rendered a verdict.”“We had one of the largest changes in power in the House of

representatives in the recent history of the House,” Lungren said, “and that in my judgment began the eff ort or the redirection of where we are going with our government.”

“Now the question is how do we restrain government, where do we restrain government, how quickly we restrain government,” Lungren added.

Congressman Lungren’s 3rd district includes Calaveras, Amador and Alpine counties and parts of Sacramento and Solano counties.

included many aesthetic improvements, such as decorative monuments, benches and streetlights, crosswalk and intersection pavers and sidewalk medallions created through a public art program.

regarding the sidewalk medallions, “A new committee called Lodi Project Art sent out applications to the community for designs. Some designs were by children, some by adults and some by organizations. Then the mosaics were actually constructed by the same people who submitted the designs,” Sandelin said.

“We found a location for every mosaic design submitted.” A total of 24 medallion designs were submitted and accepted.

Concerning Lodi Avenue’s new street lighting, Sandelin said, “We wanted our lighting to be unique for Lodi Avenue. We already have a lighting design on School Street which is our downtown. We have another design on Cherokee which is our highway-business corridor. Then, we have in that area the ‘theme-matic’ post with the round sphere on top so we had to work between those and this is what we ended up with.”

When asked what his next project will be, Sandelin did not hesitate in his reply and cited Lockeford Street. “As part of the railroad tracks coming out of Lodi Avenue, which was the impetus to rebuild it, they also pulled the tracks out of Lockeford Street, which is the old Kentucky House Branch. So, we are going to do on Lockeford the same thing we did on Lodi and have the connectivity between the old 99 and Cherokee Lane and the downtown business areas on Lockeford Street.

“In this case we have the park in the middle and we also have the Grape Festival,” Sandelin said. Will the lighting and monuments be

similar to what is now on Lodi Avenue? “I think we will probably imitate them,” Sandelin added.

Construction on the Lodi Avenue Project started in April 2010 and ended six months later. It was funded with a combination of federal stimulus dollars and proceeds from measure K, the San Joaquin County half-cent sales tax used for transportation projects.

The City’s entry was picked as “Project of the Year” by the APWA’s Sacramento Chapter among transportation projects in the $2 million to $10 million range by cities with a population less than 100,000.

CLEmENTS – When Todd Anderson purchased “The old Corner Saloon” in 2005, he started a renaissance of serving whiskey and fine wine. While it is not unusual for a saloon to serve wine and whiskey, it is highly unusual for the bar’s owner to put his own personal stamp on the fine wine his bar serves. At “The old Corner Saloon” the highly prized wine he serves comes directly from Anderson’s own label, i.e., Anderson Vineyards. The fine wine is Sangiovese, a red Italian wine grape variety whose name derives from the Latin Sanguis Jovis, “the blood of jove (love). This wine is sold at “The old Corner Saloon” and selected fine restaurants.

The Saloon’s structure, a local landmark, and its location 18783 E. Highway 88 (at the corner of N. mackville rd. and E. Highway 88) are ready to tell any history buff tales of yesteryear. Anderson’s wife Liz was kind enough to share with us some of its history.

In 1889, William Schmitt built a two-story structure at this site that stands across the road from the I.o.o.F. Hall. It was called William Schmitt General merchandise. The store was on the ground floor and Schmitt and his family lived upstairs. Schmitt died in 1916.

After his death, William’s son Louis took over the business. Then in 1925 the building was leased to Herbert Ayers who turned it into a saloon, along with a mercantile and ice cream parlor. He called it “Herb’s.” There were two entrances to the building. The door towards the eastside opened into the saloon area, much like it does today, while the second door was located where the window

faces the karaoke and dance side of the building. Back then, this door opened into a small general store that included the ice cream parlor.

When the nearby mokelumne river resort closed in 1938, Pete and dora Kroencke, who had owned and operated the resort, decided to lease the business. Three years later, they purchased it.

In 1962, The Kroenckes’ sold the saloon/store to John and Agnethe (Aggie) Kohnke who named it “The old Corner Saloon.” The estate of Kohnke then sold the business to Ed moyle, who soon sold it to russ and Carol Waters.

In october 1984, russ Waters sold the business to Bob and Lois maita. An arsonist burned down the historic building in 1992. Following very closely to the ground floor layout of the original building, the maitas rebuilt the structure as a one-story building. Bob and Lois ran the building for nearly 20 years until he died in 2001. Then Lois, with the help of her two daughters, kept the business going for another two years.

In 2004, Lois sold the business to Bobby Butler and Loren Prout. Improvements were made. In 2005, Bobby and Loren sold the business to Todd Anderson.

Today, “The old Corner Saloon” stands as a constant reminder of the perseverance of individuals who, through good times and bad, have worked tirelessly to make their business prosper at this historic street corner. Each of them has become an important part of the cornerstone of Clements’ history.

Sub-headline for the following photos: Here are examples of Lodi Avenue’s transformation which earned Lodi’s Public Works Department the prestigious APWA’s “Project of the Year” award:

by Plez HillGALT – Back in 1868 local residents

probably marveled at the sight of the Brewster General Store. Its construction had just been completed. Besides being a general store, a Wal-mart for its time, it also housed the town’s post office and IooF Hall.

Fast forward to the year 2008. The building had been vacant for more than 20 years, lacked a roof and was in a horrible state of disrepair. d&S development, which specializes in rehabilitating historic buildings, steps forward. Armed with redevelopment funds, a grant and a low interest loan from the city, d&S starts to renovate the building.

re-set the time machine to memorial day, June 30, 2011 – the 140+ year transition comes full circle with the opening of

Brewsters Bar & Grill, 201 4th St., a marvel of a restaurant.

The restaurant, which leases the building, is owned and operated by Alex origoni, Garrett Van Vleck and Jason Boggs. This is their second establishment. The first one is the Shady Lady Saloon at 1409 r St. in Sacramento. They are planning a third one at 700 K St., also in Sacramento.

I recently visited Brewsters (no apostrophe) when, by chance, origoni was

there. He is 31 and unassuming. A native of Sacramento, he said he started in the restaurant business busing tables at the age of 16 and said owning a restaurant had always been “a lifelong dream.” He described Brewsters as being “casual, comfortable and classy.”

He spoke with pride about the restaurant’s menu being “versatile and varied.” “We use a lot of fresh seasoning, produce and meat from locals,” origoni emphasized. He spoke with enthusiasm about the bar’s “Craft

Cocktail Program” that customizes cocktails to patrons’ individual tastes. “It takes a great deal more time and care to make,” origoni said.

Next to the bar, a section of the floor is cut-out and covered with glass. This allows patrons to view the wine cellar as they walk into the restaurant. “We feature California and local wines from Lodi and the delta,” oregoni continued, “and our wines are aggressively priced.”

The ceiling above the bar features a mural,

a collage of images depicting Galt’s history. other areas of the ceiling feature tin panels. origoni took me upstairs where a bar, stage and dance area are located. He said the music venue is predominantly blues, country and jazz. “It fits the community,” he said.

oh, and what about the food? How good is it? What origoni did not know until after I interviewed him was that I had dinner there a couple of days before. To steal a line from Billy Crystal, the food, service and ambiance was “Simply marvelous!”

by Bryan Cain-Jackson45 years ago, television viewers

heard these words uttered over what was then considered stunning visuals of an interesting space vehicle that did more than transport viewers to new worlds. (Note: For the Trekkers, the fact is being observed that the beginning monologue was not actually h e a r d d u r i n g t h e s h o w ’ s f i r s t episode. It was not until the second episode that this would become a staple.)

We’ll take a look back at all that Star Trek has delivered us as we say Happy 45th to the legendary franchise that helped to change the landscape of television and fi lm.

The very nature of Star Trek defi ed the television laws of gravity by using the medium to educate and entertain. Creator Gene Roddenberry imagined Star Trek as Wagon Train to the stars.

Flashing back to 1966, a time that was signifi cantly more censored in television than today, Star Trek used the science fi ction genre to its intellectual advantage. Star Trek used science fi ction as a disguise to discuss social and political taboos that were considered forbidden territory in the landscape of television at the time.

Star Trek mirrored the problems of the time by taking on such topics as political assassinations, senseless wars, riots, questioning of the establishment, civil rights and how bigotry could destroy a civilization.

Star Trek also featured a culturally and ethnically diverse cast, obviously another rarity of the time.

*The crew of the Starship Enterprise consisted of a Japanese weapons offi cer with a special interest in fencing named Hikaru S u l u (George Takei), a Russian helmsman (during the Cold War in the United States) named Pavel A. Chekov (Walter Koenig), a Scottish engineer named Montgomery “Scotty” Scott (James Doohan), and an African American woman named Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) who was a Lieutenant and the communications offi cer. The three main characters of Star Trek were none other than the pop culture hero Captain James T. Kirk played memorably by William Shatner, the inimitable pointy-eared Vulcan Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley).

With a diverse cast in place, many racial taboos in various stories through the run of the series.

*The best example of Star Trek taking on the topic of a racial taboo is an episode entitled “Let That Be Your Last Battlefi eld.” This was a particularly disturbing picture at how ridiculous we look as a society for having prejudice. The episode guest starred Frank Gorshin who was best known for playing The Riddler on the “Batman” television series of the 1960’s. Gorshin played as Bele in an Emmy Award nominated performance. Bele was one of two leaders on a planet where prejudice was so rampant that it destroyed itself and only Bele and the other leader Lokai were the two sole survivors. Bele was half black on the left side and half white

on the right side. Lokai was half white on the left and half black on the right. That’s right you are reading this correctly. For that sole reason, the two opposing sides of this world hated each other. Sounds ridiculous, yet familiar, right?

Despite critical and audience acclaim,

the ratings were not there and Star Trek was

cancelled after only three seasons and 79 episodes.

Looking back, it seems as though

the show was on the air forever. In a manner of speaking, it has. Star Trek caught wind after hitting syndication with reruns airing at all different times of the day. The fan following grew to epic proportions.

Throughout the 1970’s Star Trek’s presence was known and

more powerful than during its original run. There were

comic books, a Saturday morning cartoon and fan conventions popping up all over the nation. The biggest news was that Star Trek in some form or another was coming back and in big way.

After the success of Star Wars, 1979 saw

t h e release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

It opened up to big box offi ce and guaranteed the launch of a fi lm franchise. The fi lm’s budget was so large it cost more than Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 2001 Space Odyssey put together; thus making it one of the most expensive fi lms made of its time.

The fi lm franchise truly began with the fanfare of the second Star Trek fi lm in 1982. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was a tremendous success with

fi lmgoers, critics and delivered big box offi ce. This fi lm is widely considered to be the most universally revered Star Trek fi lm. Wrath of Khan features a chilling

performance by Ricardo Montalban as the genetically engineered villain Khan. Khan is one of fi lm history’s greatest villains.

The original cast of Star Trek released four more fi lms over the next nine years.

(1984) Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

(1986) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

(1988) Star Trek V: The Final Frontier(1991) Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered

CountryIn 1987, Star Trek was making another

big splash, this time in television. Gene Roddenberry was creating another incarnation of Star Trek.

Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in 1987. It featured a totally new cast continuing the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

Patrick Stewart portrayed the ship’s captain Jean-Luc Picard, Jonathan Frakes as First Offi cer William T. Riker, LeVar Burton as the chief engineer Geordi LaForge, Brent Spiner as the android Data, Marina Sirtis as the ship’s counselor Denanna Troi, Michael Dorn as Klingon security chief Worf, Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher and Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan the ship’s barkeep.

It also pitched the new and politically correct motto; to boldly go where no one has gone before. The Next Generation ran for seven seasons ending its run 1994. Later, that same year the Next Generation cast debuted in their fi rst fi lm which featured William Shatner reprising his role as Captain Kirk. Star Trek: Generations showed the passing of the baton. Its most controversial fact lied in the fact that Captain Kirk was killed off.

The Next Generation cast made three

more fi lms over the next eight years. (1996) Star Trek: First Contact(1998) Star Trek: Insurrection(2002) Star Trek: NemesisIn 1993, a third Trek television series

hit the airwaves. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine took a much darker look at the fi nal frontier and brought forth stories that focused on war, poverty and religion. It took place on a space station that sat on the edge of portal to another area of the galaxy, it served as a militaristic base and guardian of that portal. The writing was rich with emotion and believability, the acting was above average and it truly consisted of what good television should always be. This was the fi rst

Star Trek series to feature an African-American captain. The ensemble cast starred Avery Brooks, Nana Visitor, Rene Auberjonois, Colm Meaney, Armin Shimmerman, Alexander Siddig, Terry Farrell and Cirroc Lofton. The series ran for seven seasons until 1999.

1995 saw the launch of another franchise television incarnation. Star Trek: Voyager chronicled the voyages of the starship Voyager lost in an unexplored sector of the universe with no means to get home. This series was unique mainly because the captain’s chair was occupied by a woman this time. The cast consisted of Kate Mulgrew, Robert Beltran, Roxann Dawson, Robert Duncan McNeil, Ethan Phillips, Robert Picardo, Tim Russ, Garrett Wang and Jeri Ryan. Voyager also ran for seven seasons ending its run in 2001.

The last Star Trek series to hit the airwaves debuted in 2001. Star Trek: Enterprise was a prequel to the original Star Trek series taking place 100 years before it and focused on the beginnings of Star Trek as we know it. Perhaps the franchise’s most daring attempt to be different even featuring a pop song as the beginning theme. The cast starred Scott Bakula, John Billingsley, Jolene Blalock, Dominic Keating, Anthony Montgomery, Linda Park and Connor Trinnear. The series ran for only four seasons before being cancelled in 2005.

It wasn’t long before Star Trek was back with us. In 2009, the summer blockbuster action fi lm aptly called Star Trek was released as a reboot by J.J. Abrams with an all new cast starring as the counterparts to the original Star Trek television series. Needless to say, the fi lm was a huge success and a sequel will be released in the summer of 2012.

Of all of the television franchises that have graced the airwaves, Star Trek stands out as a crown jewel. It is that rare mix of being able to stir thought and entertain is perhaps it greatest gift of truth. It’s pretty to safe to say that in some way, shape or form Star Trek will always be here. With that said, live long and prosper.

GeorGe’s restaurant – has great food and excellent service. I was pleasantly surprised with my lunch experience. my meal consisted of a cup of Cream of Chicken rice soup that was perfectly heated and served with saltine crackers. Followed by a house salad that was a little on the plain side and consisted only of mixed greens served with saltine crackers and dressing on the side. Th e plainness of the salad did not bother me as this is how I like my salad and the portion was small enough not to overstuff you prior to your entrée, but big enough to take away the hunger. my meal was rounded out with a French dip sandwich fi lled to overfl owing with tender Sirloin beef on a perfectly toasted French

roll and served with au jus. Th is sandwich was so big that I could barely take a full bite and only managed to eat half. Th e service was prompt; our drinks were kept fi lled, plates were cleared when empty, and our check arrived in a timely manner. Th e only negative aspects of our lunch were that the dinning room was cold, making me wish I had brought in my sweater, and the lighting was a little too dim for lunch time. I would defi nitely recommend George’s restaurant to anyone looking to catch a nice meal at a reasonable price and receive fi rst-class service.

sQueeZe Inn –I was in Galt on some business for the day and we were looking for a place to eat. We were in an industrial area and I kept thinking we weren’t going to fi nd a place to eat here; we would have to go into town. As we were driving we see the Squeeze Inn and my boss says I’ve heard of that place want to try it? I said sure I’ll try it. I was surprised and pleased with the casual and warm atmosphere as we walked in. As I looked around the place it was pretty full. We were greeted with happy smiling faces and seated almost immediately. Steve was our server (great young man). I ordered a Squeeze burger with cheese, my boss ordered the same with avocado and we shared an order of fries. When we received our food all I could think of was oh my!!!! It was a huge burger with a skirt of cheese around it and a lot of fries. I was thinking why is the cheese like this. As I looked around I noticed everyone’s was like that, and then it clicked Th is Is Th eir Signature. I said to my boss how cool is that? Th e burger was great!!! Th e fries were great!!! Th ey were fresh and made right there. overall everything was wonderful (their restrooms were even clean) I have no complaints and would recommend it to anyone who loves to have a good burger and fries. I will make it a point to eat there again .

WATEr…Th e human body is known to be made up of approximately 75 to 80-percent water. Its dependency on water is so great that the body begins to die aft er three days without it.

Today, we fi nd ourselves selecting from many other liquid options such as soda, coff ee, liquor, juice, etc. oft en times we use one of these liquids as the source of our “water” , but is it truly the liquid our body needs?

Let’s look at our liquid options more closely and what it can do to our body.

Soda and juice: Soda and juice are liquid drinks which are high in sugar. For example, soda has 10 teaspoons of sugar and juice can have between 5.5 to 7 teaspoons of sugar. Consistent use of sugary drinks has been known to increase weight and research has shown that it is one of the causes of obesity. In contrast, water contains no sugar.

Caff einated drinks and alcohol: Caff einated drinks are known to cause an increase in urine fl ow, sodium and calcium excretion. Loss of sodium can cause nausea, headache, irritability and generally not feeling well. Alcohol is another drink that can cause frequent urination and because it is high in calories, it can contribute to weight gain. Water on the other hand does not possess any ingredients which produce

the same negative eff ect to the body as caff einated alcoholic drinks.

Adequate intake of water is important to ensure that our body is well hydrated. Th e number one trigger for feeling tired is lack of water in the body. Adequate amount of water can help with constipation, fatigue, body aches, good skin turgor and immune system. It is therefore important that we replace the water lost from respiration, perspiration, and excretion of urine and feces in order to stay healthy.
