Aerial Firefighting Progress At Ukiah CDF Facility
The Ukiah CDF aerial firefighting program shows advancing speed and effectiveness. Local crews and contractors like Smith Air and Sis-Q Air Service patrol skies with ELF and TBM aircraft, conducting drops near Soroma and Santa Rosa while pilots Waterman Chaffee and Linkenvirch return for another season. The program, growing since early efforts with water tanks and borate, aims to protect lives and property as Mendocino County faces severe fire danger and limited rainfall.

Judge Milton ruled no evidence supported the defense claim the slaying was political. He held Missouri law on robbery with violence relevant and ruled Ray extraditable on both counts for a trial on charges he escaped prison during armed robbery. Frisby said he would likely appeal the ruling. Ray denied killing King, stating he did not do it.

The attorney general cites studies arguing the death penalty deters little and harms the innocent, noting executions declined from 199 in 1935 to two last year. He says capital punishment is biased against the poor and minorities and calls abolition a major milestone in moving away from barbarism, as about 70 countries and 13 states have done.
