The Lake County District Attorney’s Office, Victim-Witness Division would like to say “thank you” to all the agencies that helped facilitate all the events that took place during the week of April 10-16, 2011, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.


A special thanks to Annie Barnes of the Sunrise Special Services Foundation for generously providing the funding for the Victim-Witness barbecue to honor law enforcement and all service providers that assist crime victim’s throughout the year.


We would also like to thank Sunrise Special Services, Inter -Tribal Council of California, Lake Family Resource Center and Victim-Witness for their collaboration on coordinating and setting up three individual trainings on “Reshaping the Future and Honoring the Past.”


The Lake County Office of Education, the Lake County Children’s Council and the Lake County Child Care Planning Council did an excellent job planning the successful event at Library Park called “Lake County Cares for Kids.”

Montoliu: Not leaders but managers

This is an open letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner.


It seems that the Republican party has decided, while under the influence of some extremist, radical right-wing ideology, to embody evil in all its forms, from the war on women to the war on the working class and the environment ... even wolves do not escape your dark agendas.


More people than you can possibly imagine understand the “good cop/bad cop” games the two parties indulge in to confuse and divide the American people along completely phony and forever shifting ideological lines, while providing equal support for the military-industrial-corporate-banking

complex.


Your masters indeed pull your strings while you distract the public with the circus acts you call governing, which are pitifully pathetic and more obscene than any known act of prostitution.


Give it up, and no longer call yourselves members of a government. Instead call yourselves managers, as the actual agenda of both parties is to manage the affairs of the military-industrial-corporate-banking complex while screwing the people of America, whom you obviously despise.
