By ROB BURGESS UkiahValley.TV On February 27 the Saturday Afternoon Club was packed for a benefit in the memory of deceased Ukiah native, Private First Class John Digrazia. Digrazia died on July 23, 2009, just three days after his nineteenth birthday, in his barracks at Fort Riley, Kansas. Digrazia's mother, Debbie, said that questions remained for her about the Army's official account of her son's death. Barb Cragnotti, president of Veterans Equal Rights Protection Advocacy, said a 1950 Supreme Court decision known as the Feres doctrine prevented any appeal of these findings. Cragnotti said that officials from Representative Mike Thompson's office were in attendance and that the congressman had co-signed on legislation meant to overturn the doctrine.

By ROB BURGESS UkiahValley.TV Just after 5:30 p.m. Monday, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors emerged from an extended closed session to announce the hiring of Assistant County CEO Carmel Angelo as the new County Chief Executive Officer.Board Chair and 1st District Supervisor Carre Brown said the vote was a unanimous 5-0 decision by the board to fill outgoing County CEO Tom Mitchell's position with Angelo.With the signing of the two-year contract, Angelo caps off a meteoric rise during the last year moving from her previous post as the head of the Health and Human Services Department to Assistant County CEO to her new post as County CEO.Since Mitchell's abrupt resignation earlier this month, Angelo has been handling the day-to-day responsibilities of the County CEO during the final days of Mitchell's tenure at the post.Brown said that the approval of the contract would be set for the consent calendar at next week's meeting.Earlier in the day the board considered an item brought forward by 5th District Supervisor David Colfax that could have changed the county's current Chief Executive Officer position with a Chief Administrative Officer post. The idea was shot down as it became apparent that only Colfax and 4th District Supervisor Kendall Smith supported the change. Rob Burgess can be reached at rob@ukiahvalley.tv |

| $58 Million for new Willits Hospital | Added on: 2010-02-05 14:14:51 | Price: 29.95 |
 Click here to listen to interview with Kevin Erich. By ROB BURGESS UkiahValley.TV Adventist Health and the Frank R. Howard Foundation have moved forward with a letter of intent to pledge $58 million for the construction of a new hospital in Willits. The news was confirmed in a phone interview conducted on Friday morning Kevin Erich, president and CEO of Howard Memorial Hospital. Erich said the new facility would be located just over a mile away from the current structure. "I think this truly is a win-win-win," he said. Erich explained the current facility was built in 1928, a fact that made the construction of a new facility necessary unless major renovations were undertaken. "Personally I think this is just an amazing opportunity for the community," he said. "It helps us to create a new vision for health care here that is going to be amazing." Erich said the finances of the hospital were favorable because of its profitability. "It's taking a look at what we can afford to do and also keep a very viable entity here," he said. Erich said that the foundation would continue to investigate what would become of the current facilities. "I think there's a lot of nostalgia in this community," he said. "That's all still to be determined." Erich also said that plans for construction would be finalized by the fall. "I'm hoping that within the next year we see ground broken out there and buildings starting to go up." Rob Burgess can be reached at rob@ukiahvalley.tv. |
