Anyway, you may already know this, the Dylan heckler thing was at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, for a long time it was associated with the Albert Hall gig, but now a lot of people seem to agree it was the Manchester gig, as far as I can make out.
Check out “I Am Fuel, You Are Friends,” Bob Dylan, Manchester, 1966.

Honda is copying the winning formula established by Toyota, with its Prius hybrid technology. Research and Development can provide one with the patents for the cheapest and most efficient systems, and make it the leader in the utilization and promulgation of an entire generation of vehicles.
Why can't Detroit see that alternative energy will be the next big quantum leap in business? I could not care less about the auto industry per se, but our workers need a healthy manufacturing sector to restore our standard of living and the nation's financial health. A service economy will only fall further behind, especially since country's with better educational systems, will catch up with established industries such as computing.
Why are our oil companies so intent on wearing blinders, and not branching out into alternative energies? The future is in renewable energy, which is hopefully nonpolluting and led by Americans.
I am still unhappy at the cavalier way General Motors recalled the EV1 in the 1990s, and summarily denied the renewal of leases. What happened to that technology? It was good enough for all those who owned and leased them.
There are many who convert their own vehicles to electricity, but Congress refused to transfer the oil company subsidy to alternative energy firms. Congress must renew the tax breaks for alternative energy startups, to ensure America will become the alternative energy capital of the future.
We need to decide if we are to continue to keep our heads in the sand, or think ahead. Toyota and Honda are thinking ahead, and they are thriving.

We were expecting the turnout lane to provide a safe lane so people could avoid being slammed into by drunk and or speeding drivers who are not paying attention (which happened to us and our daughter in separate incidents there).
It seems that a lot of money was spent to do a bunch of nothing there ... What's happening?!
Where's the turn out lane?
Maybe this question would be directed to Ed Robey or maybe Susanne La Faver or Jim Comstock since Ed is on his way to retire. We hope someone knows the story and we're looking forward to hearing it.

Editor's note: Caltrans told Lake County News that the project has been put on hold due to an issue with the newly installed pavement. The lane must be repaved and then striped before the turn lane is complete; however, there is no exact estimate for completion.

In order to keep oral health a critical part of this outreach effort, many agencies have provided funding/supplies to ensure each kit contains an infant toothbrush and non-fluoride toothpaste.
In response to a recent request to local dentists to join in our efforts to stop the transmission of oral disease from mother to child we asked for help in providing each kit with an adult-sized toothbrush and dental floss.
We would like to thank the following for their generous donations: Dr. Brian Grey, Dr. Alexander McGeoch, Dr. Thomas Hewlitt and Dr. Prasong Imsaurey
It is certainly apparent you are aware of the importance of establishing the practice of sound oral hygiene as early as possible in a child’s life. Thank you again for helping us to achieve this goal.
Vicki L. Hays is secretary for the First 5 Lake County Commission.
