Milk costs rise while beef wholesale prices plunge nationwide
United Press International reports milk prices up 10 to 20 cents per gallon this week amid a 30 percent drop in wholesale beef prices. Industry leaders warn that lower wholesale costs must pass to consumers, yet beef may rebound after the new year as shortages and profit pressures shift. Milk shortages and higher wholesale prices push grocers toward $1.50 per gallon in many areas.

Wabash zone change denied by Ukiah council move
Ukiah city council denied developer Jack Franks and Associates a R-3 zoning change for property at Wabash Dora and Rose area. The 4-1 vote upheld planning commission denial, with Lorraine Pearson dissenting. A future special O zoning could be pursued, but timing hinges on the city’s general plan and planning commission actions. The decision preserves R-1 residential status for now while leaving door open for possible later rezoning.

Prison site report stirs Mendocino board inquiry
Mendocino County supervisors probe a report that Mendocino State Hospital MSH could be repurposed as a state corrections facility. County Administrator Al Beltrami said the Dept of Corrections was studying MSH among three former state hospitals for a minimum to moderate security detention unit. He noted no official notification had been received from the state while Sheriff Bartolomie and District Attorney James warned of added manpower needs if the plan moves forward. Supervisor Burgess Williams called the idea “firm as jello.”
