Toney: Thanks for helping to save lives

Details
Written by: Frank Toney
On behalf of the Blood Bank of the Redwoods and the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge No. 2284, I would like to thank the 31 donors who on July 19 took time from their busy lives to help save other lives. For every pint a person gives, it goes on to help four other people.


There is a need for blood, so if you are 18 years of age or older, over 120 pounds, in good health and can spare 30 minutes every three months, please find a place to donate blood.


It's time to make a difference, it's time to help those who need it most.


For more information on blood drives in your area go to www.bbr.org.


Frank Toney is the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge No. 2284's blood drive chair.

Fowler: Power plays leave out the voters

Written by: Kathy Fowler
It is time to stop the congressional power plays and drill where the oil is. On shore and offshore. This is stupid. The majority of Americans approve. Since when does Washington do as it pleases to appease the donors and not listen the the voters?


Frankly I am disgusted with the whole process as it has become. Did not one have vision? Could they not see the China issues? Their growth? Their consumption?


It was everywhere to see. Both Democrats and Republicans are responsible. I see both as two opposing teams focused only on being the winning team. Don't think about us, the taxpayer.
