Wiloth: Thanks for trail ride fundraiser support

The Wiloth Equine Therapy and Riding Center would like to say a sincere “THANK YOU!” to everyone that attended, sponsored, and volunteered at our second fundraising trail ride at the beautiful Langtry Estate and Vineyards.


The Langtry Estate and Vineyards provided a stunning three-hour ride! Valleys, meadows, lakes, and cattle were all viewed along the ride. We are truly grateful to them for allowing us to hold our fundraiser in such a beautiful, secluded environment!


We had nearly 100 riders, making this ride our most successful yet! With the help of many of our local teachers and volunteers, the day went off without a hitch. Middletown FFA provided a delicious meal, and the prizes donated by several local merchants helped to make this event a true success.


This fundraising ride helped us to garner enough funds to not only continue bringing therapeutic riding to the special education students of Lake County at no charge, but increase the allotments as well. Thank you again to all of the participants for helping us to help the children in our county!


Our next fundraising ride will be Aug. 9, at the beautiful Shannon Ridge Winery in Clearlake Oaks.

Gore: Sailboat case makes news across the country

This case is making news all across the country. It is obvious that when a sailboat has the right of way and is run over by a power boat that the power boat with its greater maneuverability is at fault. Even if it is driven by a sheriff. That the driver of the sailboat is being prosecuted is a travesty of justice.


If you can get ahold of a copy of “Chapman's Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling,” I'm using the 62nd Edition, starting on page 134 it discusses the "Rules of the Road" with the pertinent parts being on page 138, "Determining Safe Speed"; page 139, "Determining Risk of Collision" and "Actions to Avoid Collisions"; page 140, "General Right of Way Provisions," "Actions by the Give-way Vessel"; page 142, "Sailing Vessel Rules"; particularly the part on Page 143 titled "Sail's right of way over power."


I think that these sections should give you enough background material to make the case.
