However, after the Sheriff's Department beat the Fresno Police Depart- ment team in the first annual Pig Bowl foot- ball game, we couldn't resist the temptation to do a little boasting by featuring the trophy on the cover.

We did, however, lose two recently retired officers. To their families and friends The Review extends sincere con- dolences. ASSISTANT SHERIFF ROBERT L. SAUM was born in Mohave, California, in 1921. He attended elementary school in Po- mona, then his family moved to Fresno and he attended Fresno High School, graduating in 1939. He enrolled at Fresno State College, but when war became imminent left his studies to enlist in the United States Army as a private. His dedication to duty and all around ability earned him a commission, and he saw exten- sive combat duty in Europe, and was wound- ed in combat on three separate occasions. He was a first lieutenant in the airborne infantry, and a company commander, at Bastogne during the famous Battle of the Bulge. After discharge in 1948, Bob resumed his studies, at the University of California and at Fresno State. In April of 1949 he became a member of the Sheriff's Department. He was awarded a bachelor's degree in criminology in June of 1950, and a month later was pro- moted to senior deputy sheriff, the equiv- alent of the present rank of sergeant. He was well on his way to a distinguished career in law enforcement when, in the spring of 1951, he was recalled to active military duty in the Korean War. His first assignment was as assistant provost marshal at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. In September of 1951 he was sent to Korea, where he served until 1953 as com- mander of a 150 -man guerilla unit operating behind North Korean lines. He never talked much about his combat experiences, but we understand his unit was so damaging to the North Korean war effort that a substantial reward was offered for his death or capture. Bob returned to the Sheriff's Department upon discharge in 1953, and was assigned to the Detective Division, his former senior deputy rank by now having been converted to sergeant. During the next two years he earned an enviable reputation as a burglary investigator. In 1955 he was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as a watch command- er in the Patrol Division. He served in that capacity until his promotion to captain in 1961. He subsequently served as commander of the Patrol, Detective, and Jail divisions, and in 1977 was promoted to assistant sheriff and given command of the Security and Corrections Bureau. The next year he was made commander of the Field Operations Bureau, where he served until his retirement in March of 1979. Death came just a little more than two years later, in June of 1981.

P.U.C. T 99536 — ICC No. MC 127007 214 Broadway, Fresno 264 -3025 In Memoriam DEPUTY SHERIFF ROGER P. PUR- SELL was a native of Fowler, born there in 1925. He attended the Malaga Grammar School, and graduated from Fowler High School with the class of 1943. The next three years were spent in the United States Navy, during which time he attended Electrician's School at the University of Minnesota. Fol- lowing discharge from the navy in 1946, he worked five years as a locomotive fireman for the Santa Fe railroad. He joined the Sheriff's Department in March of 1952. After the usual progression through jail, court, and patrol duty, he was assigned to a duty somewhat indirectly related to enforcement of criminal law, where he would serve with distinction for a total of 18 of his 26 years with the Department. That was with a small unit known as the Mental Health Detail, which is responsible for taking into custody and trans- porting, in an emergency situation or pursuant to court order, persons suffering from severe emotional problems. It is a job requiring, in addition to physical courage, an extraordi- nary degree of tact, diplomacy, and patience. So well did Roger perform in that field that in later years he taught in the Police Department at Fresno City College, giving future officers the benefit of his experience in dealing with mentally disturbed persons. He also served as a member of the Professional Advisory Com- mittee to the Fresno County Mental Health Association. Health problems forced Roger into an early retirement in June of 1978. He passed away on March 8, 1982, exactly 30 years to the day from the date of his becoming a Fresno County deputy sheriff.

Received too late to include in that account was a bit of information indicating that even though Adrian is no longer among us in a physical sense, his spirit still lives on in the community where he grew up and served. The baseball diamond at Caruthers High School has been officially named, in his honor, White Memorial Field. The idea was presented by Gary Del Simon, one of the athletic coaches at the school. He had become well acquainted with Adrian, not only in a professional capacity as they worked together on various law enforce- ment problems at the school and on com- munity projects, but also as a personal friend. Adrian had been so highly and widely re- spected as an officer, a citizen, and as a man, that Del Simon had no difficulty in selling the idea to those with proper authority, and in the spring of 1981 the name became official. It is a particularly fitting tribute that Ad- rian's name be associated for memorial pur- poses with something that is maintained for the benefit of youth, for as an officer he established an admirable rapport with the young people of the community. Even those he had occasion to censure, reprimand, or even arrest respected him as a fair, impartial officer, sympathetic to their needs and points of view. Many citizens who distinguish themselves sufficiently to merit some type of memorial are honored by a bronze tablet or a cold granite statue. Sergeant Adrian White's mem- orial is a grass covered field, used by healthy young people for wholesome recreation, re- flecting his love of the outdoors and the traditional values of our society. May his name on that field ever be an inpiration to all those who play or visit there. FRESNO OXYGEN & WELDING SUPPLIES 245 M St., Fresno 233 -6684 VISALIA OXYGEN 2239 E.

WEST AVENUE, SUITE C FRESNO, CALIFORNIA 93705 (209) 226 -7363 Wt Editorial What Next?, Several months have passed since the most recent major court decision adversely affect- ing overall law enforcement operations. In fact, there have been a few indications that the pendulum is at last beginning to swing the other way; that courts have begun to recog- nize that suppression of crime is not a game and therefore must have rules that give the criminal a sporting chance of getting away. However, an obscure newspaper story a few weeks ago indicates the possibility of yet another court imposed restriction that could be every bit as harmful to law enforcement as the Miranda decision. It seems that in spite of the rampant dis- regard and disrespect for law and order that hurts every person in the nation, certain groups of supposedly law abiding citizens are continually looking for new ways to hamper the crime suppression efforts of the police. �_ AL/JRMEX Now one of those groups has decided that we are being blatantly racist when we refer, in official correspondence such as wanted bulle- tins and radio broadcasts, to wanted persons as "Mexican," "Negro," "Filipino," "Chinese," etc. The allegation is that by doing so we are being derogatory toward all persons of the ethnic background thus mentioned, or are implying that persons of such background are prone to commit the type of crime for which the suspect is wanted. The complainers sug- gest that we merely use skin color— white, black, brown, or yellow —in describing want- ed persons. The allegation is ridiculous, of course. Anyone with common sense should realize that we are merely utilizing a good method of helping any police officer who may come in contact with the suspect to recognize him.

I suppose, under the philosophy of those who have raised this issue, I could be accused of picking on Filipinos by using them as an example. However, if there was a vestige of conscious effort in that choice, it was to make the example appear as unprejudiced as pos- sible, for in thirty years of law enforcement, I don't remember a Filipino committing an armed robbery. But that is not to say that Filipinos, as an ethnic group, do not commit armed robberies. See how confusing it be- comes when we try to read racism into every remark referring to a certain ethnic group? Also extremely confusing would be law enforcement attempts to operate under the restrictions suggested— making reference to skin color only. "Brown skin" could describe a Mexican, a California Indian, or a Filipino, among others. "Yellow skin" could mean CLOVIS RENTALS AT THE SIGN OF THE WAGON RENTAL EQUIPMENT OF ALL TYPES TRUCKS & TRAILERS CUSTOM WELDING — MECHANICAL WORK Expert Lawnmower Repair and Sharpening Service FOR THE CONTRACTOR — FARMER — DO- IT- YOURSELFER OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 299 -0479 707 JEFFERSON AVE. CLOVIS either Chinese or Japanese. The description "brown- skinned" could also be applied to a so- called white person who spends a lot of time at the beach. Furthermore, very few of those generally referred to as black actually have black skin. Many of them are lighter complexioned than some of those we are asked to identify only as brown- skinned. The inclusion of ethnic background in a wanted bulletin or other official communica- tion refers to considerably more than skin " ... Are all sedan drivers potential bank robbers ?" color. Members of each ethnic group have certain physical and cultural traits and char- acteristics which tend to distinguish them from members of other groups with the same skin color. Therefore, if ethnic background of Tenneco West A Tenneco Company 485 -8102 RAISIN OPERATIONS P.O. BOX 277 BIOLA, CALIFORNIA 93606 sun GiAnT.

SHIELDS KERMAN, CALIFORNIA TENNECO PHONE 843 -2504 a wanted person is known, it can narrow the field of search considerably. To deny the police the use of that tool would be as silly as a requirement that they not specify the make of automobile used in a bank robbery, for example, but mention color only, lest it be considered an implication that all drivers of that make are potential bank robbers. So far, the complaint of racism in this regard is still in the talking stage. However, certain civil rights groups have a tendency to justify their existence by creating problems where none exists, and some judges apparent- ly like to call attention to themselves, and gain reputations as liberal and revolutionary think- ers, even if it means making asinine decisions. Therefore it is not beyond the realm of possi- bility that we will soon be prohibited from mentioning ethnic background in a wanted bulletin, and that doing so may be construed as denying the accused due process of law and result in a dismissal of the charges against him. Excuse me. Or her. Compliments of FRED RAU DAIRY, INC. FRED RAU, Owner KNUDSEN PRODUCER PHONES: Office 237 -3393 • Res. 266 -7511 10255 W. MANNING AVE. FRESNO Unreasonable? Far - fetched? So is the un- qualified requirement that a person be speci- fically advised of his rights to counsel and to remain silent upon arrest, and that failure to do so can result in dismissal, even when there is no doubt of guilt, the accused has been arrested numerous times before, and thus already has a better understanding of his rights than does the officer who arrested him. If the complaining group decides to take the issue to court, there won't be anything we can do to stop them, and they're sure to find a judge who will at least listen and give their complaint serious consideration. However, there is something we can do now to render their argument less valid. Make sure that eve, as individual officers and police agencies, don't write or say anything, in official corres- pondence or otherwise, that could legitimate- ly be construed as a racist remark, and thus give the complainers something to complain about.

FLORADORA FRESNO The Alfalfa Seed Caper Too often when officers arrive at a crime scene and begin questioning eye- witnesses and others who may have pertinent informa- tion, the response to their questions is, "I don't want to get involved." That statement may be based on sympathy for the person who com- mitted the crime, fear of him, reluctance to be labelled a "stool pigeon," or it may mean the person simply isn't willing to give the time and effort that may be required for answering questions and a possible subsequent court appearance. Whatever the reason, such an attitude is a significant factor in law enforce- ment's inability to solve some crimes, and over the past few years we've made quite a point of that. We have to admit, however, that in many instances, when a citizen, either of his own volition because of high principles, or at our insistence, does cooperate and assist in an investigation, he may devote a lot of time to the cause, alienate some of his neighbors, and at the end not even have the satisfaction of seeing the culprits properly punished, and have nothing to show for his dedication and good citizenship but a clear conscience. A clear conscience is not to be sneered at, of course, but we believe when a person chooses, at considerable cost, to do what is right in the interest of law and order, his efforts should be recognized and applauded. In that spirit we present this article as a tribute to Don Fair- child, a young Kerman area farmer. He chose to do what was right in a situation where he could have profited greatly by keeping his mouth shut and following the path of least resistance. Don was just getting a start in farming, his career having been delayed by Viet Nam, 19 where he served with distinction and was wounded while on duty in a helicopter gun- ship. After discharge he'd been a partner in a general contracting business for a few years, and had done quite well. However, since giving that up to become a farmer, he'd had a lot of bad luck; his 1978 crop had been an almost total failure. He hoped that by plant- ing his 640 acres to alfalfa in 1979, he'd be able to recoup his losses and get his operation on a solid footing. In the fall of 1978, while he was preparing his ground for the spring planting, Don was contacted by an established farmer and hay dealer in the area, Paul Toste, who offered him a significant bargain in alfalfa seed. He quoted a price of about eighty cents a pound, about half the regular market price at that time. To demonstrate that he supplied a quality product, he took Don on a tour of the neighborhood, and showed him several estab- lished fields of excellent alfalfa that he claimed had been planted with seed furnished by him. Don mentioned Toste's offer to Don Grag- nani and A. J. Yates, legitimate seed growers and dealers in the area doing business as the S and G Seed Company. His information tied in with rumors they'd heard previously; that Toste was dealing in stolen seed on a pretty large scale. However, Don was the first poten- tial buyer they'd seen who was willing to talk about the situation. Naturally anxious to eliminate the illegal and unfair competition, they asked Don if he'd contact Toste and attempt to get more definite information, while they reported the matter to the Sheriff's Department. Don agreed to do so.

Gragnani's theory was that the seed was being stolen by employees at a legi- timate seed processing plant, with the theft covered by falsifying records of seed pro- cessed for growers, thus making them the actual victims. That way the seed could be packed in the same type of bags used for legitimate merchandise, and while there would be no label or guarantee, the potential buyer would at least be able to see that the seed had been commercially packed, and thus have reasonable assurance he was buying a quality product. Gragnani and Yates had heard rumors that the stolen seed Toste was selling was coming from their mill, but they discounted that possibility. Toste had indi- cated to Fairchild that his supply was vir- tually unlimited. They were sure they couldn't have been losing a significant amount of seed without the loss having been discovered. McKinney and Davis agreed the report was worthy of serious investigation; however, finding out where the seed was coming from, how the operation was conducted, and who was involved would be quite a problem. Obviously, Toste was not working alone. Pro- cessing and packaging alfalfa seed is a com- plex operation, requiring specialized equip- ment. The seed therefore had to be coming from a large commercial plant, perhaps more than one. The only way to determine its source would be to conduct an extensive undercover investigation, starting with Toste and trying to trace the seed back to its point of origin. As a start, someone would have to pur- chase seed from Toste, perhaps make several purchases, and play it by ear from there, hoping that somewhere along the line infor- mation regarding his source of supply would be developed. The purchaser would have to be someone Toste would trust; someone with a reasonable motive for making the pur- chases, and with apparently as much to lose as Toste if the crime and the identity of its per- petrators should be discovered. The most logical candidate, of course, was Don Fairchild. He had already unofficially begun an investigation, by agreeing with Gragnani and Yates that he would contact Toste and get more information. But would he agree to participate in a full scale inves- tigation? He'd already done more than some people would have done, even those too honest to take advantage of the offer them- selves. Toste's offer must have been pretty tempt- ing to Fairchild. For his 640 acres he'd need well over 25,000 pounds of seed. At a saving of almost a dollar a pound, that would be a lot of money available for the many other expenses of running a farming operation, especially one that was already operating on the verge of bankruptcy. There was little chance he'd have 40 LANES AT Cocktails at d dining CEDAR LANES • Coffee Shop BOWL •Banquet Rooms •Billiard Room Open 24 Hours — Catering Anywhere �! 3131 N. Cedar @ Shields Ph. 222 - 4424 21 been caught. Alfalfa seed can't be identified once it is removed from the bag, scattered over acres of plowed ground, and covered with soil. The bags, even if they had distinc- tive markings, could easily be disposed of. Furthermore, there'd be no social stigma involved, for no one need know where he'd bought his seed except the seller, who wasn't in a position to do much talking about it. But Fairchild, in addition to having high prin- ciples that wouldn't let him take advantage of the offer for his own benefit, also realized that other farmers, some perhaps no better able to afford the loss than he would be, were the actual victims of the seed thefts. If he'd been in their shoes, he'd have wanted someone to do what they could to stop his losses. That is why he hadn't hesitated about talking the matter over with Gragnani and Yates, or object to their reporting it to the Sheriff's Department, and why he had willingly agreed to contact Toste for more information. Nor did he hesitate when the prospect of his assist- ing in the full investigation was mentioned. He agreed to go all the way; to buy alfalfa seed from Toste as many times as was neces- sary to establish the origin and the identity of those responsible for the actual thefts. A few days later Fairchild, at the direction of investigating officers, contacted Toste, told him he was satisfied with the proposed arrangement, and was ready to do business on a large scale. Toste told him he could sell him as much seed as he wanted, but in pick -up load size lots as it became available to him. He explained that to minimize physical handling of the seed, when a load was available Fair- child should leave his pick -up at Toste's ranch, Toste would drive it to where he got the seed, load it, return it to his ranch, and notify Fairchild he could come drive the loaded truck home. With this arrangement, investigating of- ficers had little difficulty in obtaining proof that Toste was dealing in stolen seed. Fair- child would contact them when he was to pick up a load at Toste's ranch, and they'd meet W him on his way and equip him with a hidden radio transmitter that would broadcast to a tape recorder the conversation between him and Toste. In the ensuing conversations, Fair- child quite easily maneuvered Toste, in seem- ingly casual conversation, into admitting that the merchandise was "hot." However, he couldn't get Toste to reveal the source, or to mention anyone else involved. After a few buys, though, by keeping Toste under close surveillance as he drove Fairchild's pick -up, officers fixed his source of supply as a cor- rugated metal building at the residence of Frank Fusi, on Elm Avenue a f ew miles south of the Fresno city limits. Although this information was important, it didn't tell where the seed was initially being stolen from, but merely established the exis- tence of another link in the chain. Fusi's pri- mary business was dealing in livestock; there were obviously no facilities for processing and packaging seed on the premises; and while it was possible that he was actually united packin g co.

"Jim" HARKNESS, JR. - BILL COLGATE LAWSON BARTELL stealing the seed himself, bringing it home in his cattle truck, and storing it in the metal shed to be packed up by Toste and whomever else was involved, officers were of the opinion that Fusi was merely the wholesaler, distri- buting seed that was being stolen and de- livered by someone else. The only way to find out was to keep a close eye on the traffic to and from Fusi's residence. Utilizing a simple but highly effective means of surveillance, the details of which we won't, for obvious reasons, reveal, officers began watching Fusi's residence 24 hours a day, keeping track of who went in and out. About this time Fairchild heard a strong rumor to the effect that the stolen seed was coming from Arizona. Because that would make it a federal crime of transporting stolen merchandise across a state line, the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be interested. The local office was contacted, and Chief Special- Agent -in- Charge Charles Sullivan thought enough of the case and information to 1 !'E F WILLSON FARMS INCORPORATEL? 1318 East Shaw Avenue Suite 313 Fresno, California 93710 Phone 209/226 -3444 THANKS AND CONGRATULATES TI IF FRESNO COl INTY SF IN RIFFS DEPARTMENT WITH 51'ECIAI_ GRATITUDE TO SI IERIFI= I IAROLD C.

There wasn't much to do at that point but keep watch on Fusi's place, and keep Toste under visual and electronic surveillance whenever a sale and delivery was in progress. That sur- veillance, however, required a lot of man- power, and Sullivan himself and Agents John Loughney and Jess Rogers began to take turns in that phase of the operation at the Fusi resi- dence. Meantime, they sent inquiries to their offices in the alfalfa growing areas of Arizona, to see if any large scale thefts of alfalfa seed were suspected or had been reported. For the first several days of the watch on Fusi's place, the only significant activity observed was Toste coming in Fairchild's pick -up, backing up to the shed, and leaving with a load of sacks of alfalfa seed. Mean- while, Fairchild was doing an excellent job of getting Toste to talk. The officers felt he'd have made a great detective. He frequently pretended to be confused about how much seed he'd bought up to that point, or how VANGAS INC.

All this would possibly be valuable as evidence later in court. He also complained at length about the frequent price increases, which occurred in five and ten cent incre- ments, going to around a dollar and a quarter a pound before the investigation was com- pleted. He hoped in this manner to get Toste to talk about where he was getting the seed, admit how much it cost him, or otherwise make some remark that would help identify his source of supply. In that regard he didn't have much luck. Toste eventually admitted he was getting the seed from Frank Fusi, but only after officers had already discovered that fact. He claimed to have no knowledge of where Fusi was getting it. He also mentioned another farmer in the area who was allegedly dealing in stolen seed, identified here and henceforth by the fictitious name of John Doe, for reasons that will later become clear. There was some discussion as to whether Toste was Doe's sole source of supply, or if he was getting at least some of his seed directly from Frank Fusi. However, the officers al- ready knew about Doe also; he had tried to sell seed to Fairchild before the investigation began. They had already made one buy from him, and planned to prosecute him also if sufficient evidence could be developed. In view of the f ailure to get Toste to reveal Fusi's source, and with the information that Doe had possibly bought some seed directly from Fusi, it was decided to have Fairchild contact Fusi and attempt to arrange one or more purchases from him, hoping that would lead to a revelation of the source. It was learned that he would be at a livestock auction yard at Turlock on a certain day, and Davis, Detective Mike Perry, and Fairchild drove there. Fairchild made inquiries, found Fusi among the spectators and buyers, introduced himself, and said he'd heard that Fusi had alfalfa seed for sale. Fusi seemed interested, but was cautious and noncommittal. Fairchild 25 then told him he'd heard about him through Paul Toste, and that he'd been buying seed from Toste, but wanted to buy in larger quantities than Toste was able to supply, and thought perhaps he could do business directly with him, Fusi, more satisfactorily. Fusi final- ly admitted he sometimes had seed for sale, but claimed he had none on hand at the moment. He told Fairchild to give him his phone number, and said he'd call him when he had a sizeable quantity available. Fairchild waited a few days, heard nothing from Fusi, and finally called him to see when he could expect seed to be available. Fusi was still non - committal and reluctant to discuss the matter, and the idea of buying directly from him was dropped. The contact with Fusi was followed by a period of inactivity at his residence, and officers began to fear the investigation had been "burned." Since they'd been watching the place enough seed had been hauled out that the shed had to be almost empty, and if no more was coming in, perhaps it meant the thieves had become wise to their surveillance. They were beginning to feel quite discour- aged, when finally, early in December, sever- al weeks after the investigation had begun, their efforts paid off. A truck was observed turning into Fusi's driveway from the south, and it was loaded with what was almost certain to be bags of alfalfa seed. It was backed up to the shed, and a short time later driven away empty. It didn't take a great deal of effort to trace ownership to the Pioneer HiBred International Seed Company, with local offices at 5151 N. Palm in Fresno, or to follow the vehicle to the Five Star Ranch near Five Points. That was determined to be the business name of the alfalfa seed processing plant owned by Pioneer HiBred International. Davis and his crew now knew where the seed was coming from, but the investigation still wasn't complete. They had yet to find out, and be able to prove in court, who in the plant was actually stealing the seed, and how it was being done. The first step was to contact the PAVING ATCHLEY 268 -2272 3611 E.

Mr. Robert Williams, the local manager, was quite aston- ished to hear of the theft, stating there was no indication in company records of seed miss- ing. He stated the truck observed delivering the seed to the Fusi place was a company owned vehicle furnished to the mill foreman, Hollis Green. He stated Green was a trusted employee, with nothing on his record to cast suspicion on him. However, when the person driving the truck was described to him, he said the description matched that of Green. He contacted the home office of the company in Idaho, and General Manager Dale Reese pledged full cooperation of the firm in con- tinuing the investigation. The discovery of local origin discounted the rumors about the seed coming from Airzona, obviously, and the FBI was forced to drop out of the case.

They would have to be able to testify that they had by independent evidence identified seed recovered from Fairchild as seed stolen from the Five Star Ranch mill. Arrangements were then made for Mr. Williams to escort detectives to the plant, ostensibly on some type of inspection tour, in case employees connected with the theft were present. To minimize that chance, the visit was made on a Saturday, when the plant was not in operation. However, employees were known to be present at the plant on weekends for various reasons, so every reasonable pre- caution was taken to avoid arousing their suspicions. The Crime Lab furnished a clear liquid for marking paper or fabric, containing a chemical which would make the mark visible when treated later with a second chemical, causing it to turn purple. Before the visit Lieutenant Al Harker and Detective Mike Satterberg had flown over the ranch at low altitude, with a pilot of the Sheriff's Air Squadron, and had observed just inside a large door of a warehouse a stack of filled white bags. When the officers visited the plant they discovered the bags in that stack had no labels, and assumed they were destined for illegal sale. All those bags, plus many empty bags in the bagging room, were marked with the invisible solution. Fairchild was notified to resume buying from Toste as soon as possible. A few days later a transaction was made, and officers eagerly rushed to Fairchild's ranch, picked up the seed he'd just bought, and took it to head- quarters for examination. To their chagrin, they discovered the white outer ply of each bag had been removed, and the marking solu- tion hadn't soaked through to the brown inner bag. This was the first sale where the outer bag had been removed. Whether it had been done because the thieves' suspicions had been aroused, or merely on a whim, was never determined. Two more visits to the plant were neces- 29 sary before enough marked bags were re- covered through buys to be sufficient to prove the case in court. In the end, it was not the markings on the bags themselves, but the thread with which they were sewn after bagging that proved conclusive. On the sec- ond visit the officers marked the spools of thread on the bagging machines, and also found two unused spools, took them back to the crime lab and soaked them overnight in the marking solution, and put them on the machines on their third visit. That did the trick. The next buy produced enough bags sewn with thread that turned purple that no further proof was needed that seed Fairchild was buying from Toste was coming from the Five Star Ranch. Mike Satterberg was a member of the investigating team on all three visits to the mill. The first time he was accompanied by Ross Kelly, the second by Frank Carvalho, and on the third by Ken Badiali. So well did all four play their roles as being there on routine company business that only once did an employee show any significant interest in their activities. On that occasion, while Mr. Williams was engaged elsewhere, an em- ployee approached and asked what they were doing, apparently showing only friendly cur- iosity. Fortunately, they had completed the bag marking phase, and were taking pictures and measurements of the bagging room and warehouse. They told him they were apprais- ers from a bank in Seattle that was interested in financing the purchase of the mill. Williams or Reese had mentioned that the parent company was considering its sale, and this must have been known to the curious employ- ee, for the answer apparently satisfied him. After more than two months on the inves- tigation, the officers finally had enough evi- dence to take the case to court with reason- able assurance of obtaining convictions. Complaints were filed against Hollis Green, Frank Fusi, and Paul Toste, and warrants of arrest and search warrants covering their homes, vehicles, and financial records were c' TOR TIL LA S SINCE 1948 WHOLESALE & RETAIL CORN & FLOUR TORTILLAS i TACO SHELLS 266 =9964 FREE DELIVERY ON WHOLESALE ORDERS OUR NEW LOCAT ION 718 F STREET Corn *r Mono i F Sts.

On January 26, 1979, teams of officers began serving the warrants. Hollis Green was 39 years old, a respected family man with a clean record. He was arrested at his office at the mill when he arrived for work that morning, by Sergeant Davis and Detectives Mike Satterberg and Ross Kelley. When confronted with the charges, he readily admitted his involvement, but claimed that no one else at the plant knew about the thefts. He explained that when he planned to make a delivery, he would some- times bag the seed himself, or simply give instructions that a certain amount was to be bagged in unlabelled bags. He would then personally load the bags into his company truck and make delivery. Presumably, the employees thought the seed was being de- livered to preferred customers who had the privilege of buying directly from the mill, that was the reason no label was needed, and that the sales were duly recorded on the company books. Except for the latter factor, of course, they were right. Green had, as speculated, falsified records of seed processed for various growers to cover the thefts. Green stated he had been stealing seed in this manner for about three years, although on a much smaller scale the first two years. He had initially become involved in a quite casual manner, through a business acquaintanceship with a female barber who worked in a shop south of Fresno at that time. He would stop for a haircut occasionally, and after she learned he was the foreman at a seed mill, she casually mentioned that if he ever had any seed for sale, she knew someone who'd like to buy it. Green had never been involved in any type of criminal activity before, but the pros- pect of selling alfalfa seed under the table was tempting. He had recently purchased a new home in Coalinga, and had the normal desire of a husband and father to provide well for his family. He knew he could take a nominal amount of seed and cover his tracks so that the danger of getting caught would be virtually non - existent. After some consideration he 31 agreed to a small sale, and the female barber arranged for him to deliver it to John Doe's ranch. She handled all the negotiations and collection and payment; he stated he never met Doe. Several hundred dollars for a few hours work was so easy that be found it easier to stifle his conscience the next time, and a little later he began selling seed to Frank Fusi. The initial arrangements for those sales were made by the barber, and Green would deliver the seed to her home in Fresno, where Fusi would pick it up. After a while the two of them got together and decided to eliminate the woman from the operation, and from then on he delivered directly to Fusi and was paid directly by him. Green claimed he had no records that would reveal exactly how much he had stolen over the three years. Officers recovered several thousand dollars which he admitted was the fruit of his illegal labor, but there was no way to determine how much more money had been involved. He had operated in such a low -key manner that apparently even his wife had not suspected that he'd been doing any- thing wrong. In spite of his apparent willing- ness to make a clean breast of his crime, seeming to almost indicate he was glad it had been brought into the open, the officers weren't satisfied that he was the only one at the mill involved, that he had sold only to Fusi and Doe, or that the amount stolen had been as small as he claimed. However, with no evidence incriminating anyone else at the mill, no information pointing to other buyers, and no way of determining how many grow- ers and to what degree they had been vic- timized, there was nothing they could do about their suspicions. The parent company would later reimburse growers who could provide good evidence they had lost seed, using as a determining factor in some instances a substantial differ- ence in "sand loss" in the years preceding and during Green's admitted period of criminal activity. When seed is harvested and brought into the plant for cleaning and processing, it naturally contains a great deal of dirt and other impurities which are removed in the cleaning process. The difference in total weight before processing and the net weight after is referred to as "sand loss." One grower, for instance, reported a sand loss factor of 13 percent in a year immediately preceding Green's illegal activity, a figure which had grown to 29 percent by 1979, even though he was still farming the same land and had made no significant changes in his methods. Frank Fusi had already left home on some errand connected with his cattle buying busi- ness when Lieutenant Harker and Detectives Ken Badiali and Frank Carvalho arrived at his residence that morning. They explained the nature of their business to Mrs. Fusi, who denied any knowledge of alfalfa seed on the premises. A search pursuant to the warrant revealed several bags of seed in the shed, and certain financial records appearing to pertain to purchase of seed.

Fusi also readily admitted buying seed from Hollis Green over a period of three years, and corroborated Green's statement regarding the origin of their business relation- ship through the female barber, and their subsequent decision to cut her out of the operation. He claimed he didn't know where the seed came from, but admitted he assumed it was stolen. He stated that whenever he'd asked Green if it was hot, all Green would say was, "Don't worry about it." He also admitted selling seed to Paul Toste. When the conversation got around to the point where Fairchild had contacted him at the Turlock livestock auction, he indirectly indicated he may have been just a bit leery; however, he claimed his reluctance to sell seed to him was based solely on the fact he knew he was a customer of Paul Toste's. He had exhibited no such loyalty when he and Green had decided to cut their go- between HOPE MANOR \H a_ pEt NURSING • RESTORATIVE CONVALESCENT • RETIREMENT 1665 "M" Street, Fresno (209) 268 -5361 Builders Concrete, Inc. � BUILDERS CONCRETE Ashlan Near 99y 225 -3664 READY MIX CONCRETE out, so his claim to principle in this case is somewhat dubious. However, he did appear to be genuinely astonished to learn that Fair- child had been wired for sound and every word of their conversation had been re- corded, so his suspicions of Fairchild's mo- tives must have been rather vague. Like Green, Fusi denied having kept any records of his seed purchases and sales. He said that what little he'd made on that had been his drinking money, and was not the business of the Internal Revenue Service. The warrant of arrest and search warrant for Paul Toste were served that morning at his ranch by Sergeant Jim Hamilton, Detective Mike Perry, and Criminologist Wes Sarment. He, too, sang like a canary when confronted with the charges, admitting he bought seed from Frank Fusi that he "had a pretty good idea" was stolen, but claiming he had no definite information regarding its origin. The search produced 3,200 pounds of alfalfa seed in 50 -pound bags, and a number of check stubs and cancelled checks indicating Toste had in the past few months paid Frank Fusi around $19,000. Although there was no doubt in the minds of the officers regarding the involvement of the female barber and John Doe in the theft and sale of stolen seed, and they had even obtained an admission from Doe, the deputy district attorney assigned to the case felt there was not sufficient corroborating evidence to warrant prosecution. They were, therefore, never arrested, and, in the interest of respon- sible journalism, have not been identified. Don Fairchild can't be blamed if he is somewhat bitter over the outcome of the investigation. After all the effort and potential I & M IRRIGATION CO.

Final court disposition was delayed for more than a year, and when it finally came, the investigating officers would have considered it almost a joke had it not been such a serious matter. Green entered a plea of guilty, and was sen- tenced to serve 180 days in jail as a term of probation. The probation was later modified so that he was released after serving about 45 days. Toste also pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property, and was sentenced to 60 days in jail. He was permitted to serve his time between 6:30 P.M. and 6:00 A.M., so his sen- tence wouldn't unduly inconvenience his farming operation. Pioneer International, after doing all that could be done to settle claims of growers who had lost seed to Green's operation, went ahead with the previously conceived plan to sell the Five Star Ranch plant and discontinue seed processing operations in the San Joaquin Valley. Hollis Green was almost correct in his assumption he could cover his tracks well enough to avoid being caught. He just didn't figure on a potential buyer with the high principles of Don Fairchild.

McKinney For years we have complained loudly and bitterly about certain laws and a court phil- osophy of interpreting them that seems more concerned with the rights of criminals than with the welfare of their victims. Our com- plaints have been in vain, obviously, so an attempt is now being made to remedy the situation in a different manner. That is by taking advantage of one provision of the Constitution which, we hope, can still be used for the benefit of the law- abiding citizen. We, an organization known as Citizen's Commit- tee to Stop Crime, are trying to place on the ballot a measure that will require the courts to show at least some concern for the victims of crimes, and to reverse, or at least alter, the way of thinking that sometimes makes it appear that the victim is the one being punished. The basic points of the measure are as follows. Restitution— Declares that convicted crim- inals will be held financially liable for their actions, and that victims enjoy the right to restitution. There is nothing in present law to prohibit a victim from filing suit for damages in civil court against the person who injured, robbed or stole from him. However, it is seldom done because there is no specific requirement of law that a person convicted of a crime will be held civilly liable for injury or damage caused by his criminal action. When be completes his prison sentence, or other punishment, we say he has paid his debt to society, and that is generally construed to include any debt he may owe his victim. With the existence of such a provision, the potential criminal would be likely to more carefully consider a con- templated criminal act. Those who now make 35 their living from crime, professional thieves and burglars, think of potential punishment, jail or prison time, as merely one of the risks of the business, just as a farmer thinks of the weather or a businessman thinks of various factors affecting the economy. With the tax free profits to be made in criminal endeavor, and the likelihood of a relatively short time in custody if caught, the potential gain seems worth the risk. If we add to that risk of incarceration the requirement that the vic- tim's losses must be repaid, the professional criminal business will lose much of its appeal. Safe Schools — Declares that all students have an inalienable right to attend schools which are safe, secure, and peaceful. Many of our children attend school in a constant atmosphere of fear, and often those fears are justified, due to assaults and robber- ies committed by fellow students. Law en- forcement has not been able to deal effective- ly with the problem, primarily because too many times we never hear about the incident. School administrators traditionally consider anything that happens on campus to be their responsibiltiy, and often appear to resent any "interference" from other agencies. Present law tends to support them in that position. Unfortunately, the educational requirements for teachers and administrators do not include training in dealing with outright criminal activity, nor does the law give them police authority. The initiative will require that any act by one student against another, or against a teacher (some teachers are as terrified by a valid threat of violence as are their students) will be reported to law enforcement, to be handled as if it had occurred on the street or any other public place.

Truth -in- Evidence —Make it easier to col- lect and use evidence against criminal defen- dants by conforming the state's exclusionary rule to the U.S. Constitution. Recent court interpretations of the United States Constitution seem heavily weighted in favor of the criminal, but the California Supreme Court has gone even further. It seems to have taken the position that the Constitution gives anyone a right to be a criminal as long as he is smart enough not to get caught, and that certain provisions of the document were included specifically to make catching and convicting him more difficult. It is our contention the Constitution was devised to ensure law and order, not to frustrate it; and to protect the law- abiding citizen against the criminal element, and not vice versa. The provisions pertaining to search and seizure were to protect the innocent person from official harassment; not to help the criminal conceal the fruits and evidence of his crime. We feel that when an officer, with reasonable cause for suspicion, searches a person, prem- ises, or vehicle, and finds incriminating evi- dence, no one's civil rights have been violated, for the culprit forfeited any pertinent rights when he opted for criminal behavior. No harm has been done, evidence to prove a crime has been obtained, and there should be no restriction on the use of that evidence. If the officer was wrong in his suspicions, and finds no such evidence, then he very possibly has violated someone's civil rights, and can be held accountable. If such potential accounta- bility is strict enough, that is all the safe- guard needed against official harassment of innocent persons as far as search and seizure are concerned. We can probably never get the courts to view the situation in such a simplistic manner, and perhaps it is too simplistic, for it assumes 37 good judgment and common sense on the part of all officers, which we agree is not the case. However, we can force them to change the present attitude, wherein an unquestionably guilty person can be set free, and the crime deemed not to have been committed, because the officer forgot one minute provision of the rigid and complicated procedures that must be followed in obtaining evidence. Public Safety Bail —Makes public safety the main concern when setting bail or grant- ing release. Under present law, there are very few instances wherein bail can be denied, and even these are based on the fact the crime is so serious the defendant may be likely to flee rather than stay to face trial, and not on consideration for public safety. A man can be arrested for beating his wife, be taken to jail, post bail immediately, and be back at home beating her again in an hour or so.

The initiative will not only permit the court to take potential danger to the public into consideration, but will require that he do so, in deciding whether or not to admit a defendant to bail. This requirement, of course, seems con- trary to the basic presumption of innocence until proven guilty. However, if we are to interpret that presumption so narrowly, then we shouldn't have arrested the defendant in the first place, but cited him into court as we do on a minor traffic violation, no matter how serious the charge. Presumably, this provision would not be taken lightly, and conclusive evidence of definite danger to the public would have to be presented for bail to be denied. Prior Convictions/ Habitual Offenders — Allows the use of prior felony convictions for impeachment or enhancement of sentences, and provides longer prison terms for serious, habitual offenders. Presently the court is required, in general, to judge each case on its merits, and to not place undue emphasis on prior convictions, on the theory that to do so would be punishing the defendant again for crimes he'd already paid his debt to society for. This provision will allow the court to take an objective view of the defendant's prior record, and to consider it as an indication of overall character, thus providing a valuable tool for determining length of sentence to be imposed. Diminished Capacity /Insanity— Abolishes the diminished capacity or "twinkie" defense, and limits the use of insanity pleas. In virtually every case where diminished capacity or insanity is claimed as a defense to a crime, we have one eminent, obviously well- qualified psychiatrist testify that he has thor- oughly examined the defendant and has determined that he was, at the time the crime was committed, in such a feeble state of mind that he either didn't comprehend what he was doing, or was unable to control himself, or 39 both. In rebuttal, the prosecution will present an equally eminent and well - qualified psy- chiatrist who will testify that he has thorough- ly examined the defendant and determined that he was, at the time the crime was com- mitted, fully aware of the nature of his act, and committed it voluntarily and willingly. Because of the professional status and unquestionable credentials of both psychia- trists, one can't help but feel that one of them has to be lying. That is not the case, however, in most instances. The discrepancy in testi- mony is due to the complexity of the human mind, and the fact that no one, no matter how well trained, can project himself into another's mind and accurately read his thoughts, partic- ularly retroactively. Each doctor knows what he has been asked to prove, and he conducts his examination with that in mind. Because there is no absolute norm in human behavior, either doctor can find something to help prove the point he has been asked to prove. We've often wondered what would happen if, when an insanity plea is entered, the court would appoint two psychiatrists to examine the defendant, one to represent the defense at the trial and the other the prosecution, but not tell them which side they'd be on until the trial began. The proposed requirement won't be quite that dramatic, but it will require a more common sense approach to the situation that now exists, and lessen the possibility of a guilty person being acquitted simply because his psychiatrist may be more glib or can make a better impression on the jury than the one testifying for the prosecution. Victim's Statements —Give victims the right to appear and testify at sentencing and parole hearings for both juvenile and adult offenders. Under the present arrangement, when a convicted criminal appears for sentencing or for a parole hearing, it no doubt has been months or years since the crime was commit- ted, and the crime itself and its effect on the victim have been practically forgotten. All the judge or parole board members see is the defendant, appearing -vvell- groomed, respect- ful and penitent. If the victim is considered at all, it is in the abstract. Allowing the victim to appear and speak at the hearing will remind the judge or parole board members that there may be a vast difference between the appar- ent nature of the defendant as they see him before them, and his true nature when he is on the street. This will perhaps cause them to take a more objective view, and lessen the incidence of premature release of criminals who have been able to convince someone they're sorry and won't repeat their crimes, but whose true nature hasn't changed at all. Plea Bargaining— Prohibits plea bargain- ing for most serious felony offenses. A person contemplating a crime knows that under the present unofficial but generally prevalent policy, no hatter how severe the prescribed punishment may be, he can have it substantially reduced by pleading guilty to a lesser charge, and he knows an offer to do so may be favorably considered to save the state Let Pay Less fill your next prescription Remember... _S/_ for Prescriptions 5638 E.

However, it is a travesty on justice to use it for crimes of real or potential violence or substantial monetary loss, particularly in cases where there is adequate evidence to sustain a conviction. This provision will sim- ply make it impossible to use that alternative in such cases. Youthful Offender Sentencing— Cracks down on violent and habitual juvenile offen- ders, and declares that for serious felony convictions, only minors may be sent to C.Y.A. Statistics nationwide show an alarming increase in the incidence of violent and serious crime committed by youngsters. It is obvious to all of us that in our present society children mature earlier, and at a given age are general- ly much more sophisticated and worldly -wise than were their parents or grandparents at the same age. Yet our juvenile laws are still.based on social conditions of fifty years ago, when SIERRA HOSPITAL FRESNO CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL SIERRA VIEW CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL "Fresno's Own" FRESNO MIS MORIAL WHITESBRIDGE RD. at CORNELIA AVE. / FRESNO / Ph. 2687823 Ask dhow our free hurrndl space for vererans. children were considered children at least through elementary school, were treated as such, and thus were considered intellectually incapable of forming the intent to commit a crime. It is still possible for a person to remain under the jurisdiction of the California Youth Authority, and thus be treated as a teenager, until he is 25 years old, assuming his crime was committed while he was a minor. This provi- sion will simply make the law conform to the conditions of modern society, where young- sters still in the middle teens not only have the intellectual capacity to form the intent to commit crimes, but all too often act on that intent. Mentally Disordered Sex Offenders —Pro- tects children and adults against sex offenders by sending convicted offenders to prison. The present provision of the law regard- ing mentally disordered sex offenders, or MDSO's as the frequent necessity for using the term has caused it to be shortened to, is similar to that of a diminished capacity or insanity defense, in that if an accused sex offender can convince a judge or jury he was unable to control his actions, he is virtually immune from punishment. He may be convicted, but if so he will probably be sent to a state hospital, ostensibly for treatment, but where in actuality he will associate only with patients of similar sexual inclinations, and may have his "disorder" reinforced rather than cured. After a few months, paritcularly if the hospital is crowded, he may be pro- nounced cured, and may or may not be required to do time in jail or prison. He prob- ably will be released on probation, the time spent in the hospital being considered as suf- ficient time in custody, and the statement that he has been cured taken literally. This iniative will require that persons convicted of sex offenses carrying a prison sentence be so sentenced even if they are diagnosed as mentally disordered sex offenders, with whatever psychiatric treatment that may be in order administered there. There's a great deal of opposition to this 41 iniative. The liberal segment of the news media has condemned it, and one court has ruled that it cannot be placed on the ballot in June. There is a possibility that decision will be overruled. If not, we shall try to qualify it for the November election. We admit that this is not the ideal way to bring about these changes; they should be effected by legislative action. However, if our elected legislators won't carry out the will of the people who elected them, the people have to act on their own. That's what the initiative and referendum provision of the Constitution is all about.

It's widely be- lieved —but interestingly undocumented — that VMC's parking lot is one of the gravest trouble spots in town. But even though untrue, that rumor manages to influence the behavior of potential employees, patients, and visitors who view the hospital as a place to avoid. Concerned about the factors contributing to VMC's poor image, Administrator Gerald Bosworth asked the Fresno County Sheriff's Department to conduct a physical security survey of the hospital. Their report, published in 1979, concluded that at that time VMC's security force was "largely ineffective be- cause of understaffing, poorly defined goals, a weak command organizational sturcture, ERIJ and lack of authority to enforce security." The survey recommended hiring a chief of security at a sheriff sergeant's level who could redefine the department's goals, recruit and train staff to levels utilized at other hospitals, and implement an employee security aware- ness program. When Jim Vermason, an experienced dep- uty sheriff, took the chief's position in January 1981, he found a staff of officers who were lacking leadership and motivation. Fourteen positions had been approved for the depart- ment, but only nine were filled. While most of the officers were striving to do a good job, others had a poor attitude.

Security now completes thorough investiga- tions pertaining to losses or thefts occurring at VMC. The department revision began after Ver- mason visited the UCLA Med Center and viewed the security operation at that center. Following the recommendations of the sher- iff's survey, the security force had already been established as a separate department. Vermason was thereafter made the depart- ment manager. A hefty policy and procedure manual was created to guide the officers in their daily duties. Each new employee is now given a copy of this 88 -page manual and re- quired to read and respond to it within five days. This manual with its inherent job descriptions and general guidance has done much towards prof essionalizing the VMC Security Service. Vermason talks highly about the quality of officers comprising the Security Department. "I really didn't have to make many changes in the operation. It is just that the officers now have clearly defined proce- dures to follow and assigned beats to cover.

WASTE SYSTEMS DIVISION We specialize in Residential • Industrial • Commercial • Institutional Waste Problems 486 -1551 Also, we now have shift supervisors for each of the three shifts." These shift supervisors —Jon Goble, Rich- ard Sanchez, and David Tafoya —carry their share of responsibilities. In addition to super- vising, they assign days off, write employee evaluations, and provide direct liaison be- tween Security and other hospital functions. Dave Tafoya is a member of the Hospital Parking Committee. Richard Sanchez is the vice president of the VMC Employees Group and Jon Goble participates in all pre- employ- ment interviews, in addition to being a union representative. Vermason instigated a change in the county pre - employment selection pro- cess and encourages formal training for his officers. These changes have succeeded in upgrad- ing the image of the Security Department. In January 1982, Officer Larry Morris was se- lected as VMC's Employee of the Month, an honor bestowed on staff who demonstrate excellence on the job and in the community. Vermason says that he took Morris' ap- pointment personally. "In one year we went from being the dregs of the hospital to being M & T DISTRIBUTING CO.

The attitude of the security staff has changed and so has the quality of service they provide. I can honestly say that I am proud of the officers and enjoy working with them." Larry, who began working at VMC in the spring of 1978, talks with pride about the Security Department and the changes it's made. "We have a pretty good crew. They used to hire just anybody off the street. But now, we look for people experienced in law enforcement, and you have to take classes if you want to move up. "There's sure been a big improvement in the past year. At first, Mr. Vermason seemed a little stiff, but now everyone can see that the department has started in a new direction. The morale of the officers has really im- proved. And all VMC employees have a lot more awareness of security." A security awareness program was one of the recommendations of the Physical Security Survey, and it's a program Vermason puts a lot of time into. He explains security pro- cedures and assault prevention measures at each monthly nurses' orientation and each bi- weekly employee orientation. "VMC is the busiest hospital in town," explains Officer Morris. "If we had twice as many officers in the department, we couldn't patrol this place perfectly. But incidents of crime are way down here, and consequently so are the rumors about walking alone in the SINCERE BEST WISHES Mr. and Mrs. Aram "Shorty" Peters stairwells and parking lots. I don't mean that everything is perfect, but VMC is a safe place to work." The VMC security officers feel it is their responsibility to provide more than just secur- ity at VMC. "We do a lot of PR," says Morris. "We're dealing with people all of the time. I make it a habit to smile as much as possible. In fact, at first I had a problem with being too personable. People in hospital work have a tendency to get too serious. But me, I try to be friendly to everybody, talk to them and make them feel safe." Visitors in the hospital frequently single out Larry Morris for directions, escort services, even just conversation. There's no doubt that Larry's physical presence adds to his credi- bility as an officer. But in some situations, the characteristics of weighing 225 pounds and standing 6'5" tall can be a handicap. "I scare little kids and old women before I ever say or do anything," admits Larry. "These are the times when female officers are invaluable. And surpris- ingly, some really crazy guys quiet down when they see a woman in uniform." Vermason says he has had good luck with the two female security officers in his depart- ment and would gladly hire more. "Officers don't need to be able to punch someone out so much as they need to stay on top of a situation psychologically," he explains. They all appear to be sharp officers, proud of the improvement in their department and the role they play in shaping the hospital's image. An average of 800 radio calls, 25 prior- ity one calls, 20 law enforcement requests for _ assistance, and 150 requests for guarding mental patients are received by Security each month. Hospital Administrator Jerry Bos- worth says their responsiveness to emergen- cies has improved, along with the quality of their work and the resulting image. According to Officer Morris, "We have a better staff now and we're respected for it. We're run like a small police force. But we're police with smiles."

FRESNO ST. 227 -5331 Security Progress Report By Captain Steve Magarian The staff of the Fresno County Security and Detention Facility processed 38,509 persons into the main jail during the year 1981. Hard to believe? Not really. We are increasing our bookings by an average of 2,000 persons yearly and the result is severely taxing the ability to house, feed and handle the many problems that we must deal with when we have an average daily population of 660 persons at the main detention facility and an average daily population of 220 persons at the branch jail located in the Caruthers area. With the new Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol law having taken effect in January 1982, the two Fresno County detention facili- ties face even further overcrowding. Present- ly we are going through a countywide needs assessment study to determine the best ap- proach to take in meeting the overcrowding crisis that we are facing and will continue to face in the coming years. We are looking at several ways to add space to both jail facilities with the least amount of expense. Fresno County is not the only county being faced with this overcrowding situation. It is occurring all over the state. A weekend work program begun in June of 1979 has been a current means of coping with some of our overcrowding. This program provides week- end community service by sentenced mis- demeanor offenders. Some participating agencies are: Veterans Hospital, Valley Medi- cal Center, S.P.C.A., Y.M.C.A., County Parks and Grounds and County Solid Waste Dis- posal departments. The program relieves the need to house and feed these offenders at the branch jail and .• additionally augments a labor force that has been depleted by Proposition 13 constraints. Court usage of this program has been steadily increasing and now amounts to over 90 sen- tenced participants each weekend. It is important to note that the standards that we must meet at both the main detention facility and the branch jail are standards set by both the state and federal governments. We must adhere to these guidelines and pass yearly inspections which are highly critical if we fail to meet any of their standards. Ex- amples of these standards are the amount of space for each inmate, the lighting in each ALLIED ELECTRIC AB MOTOR SERVICE, INC. .." SINCE 1954 ELECTRIC AND INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIERS 4690 E.

This chapel will be a clear witness of Fresno County's fraternal and humane concern for personal Christian motivation. We must face the fact that we are not rehabilitating people in our institutions —just housing them for a particu- lar period of time. Maybe through the efforts of the chaplains at our detention facilities, we can reach out and turn some of our inmates toward a direction which will make them meaningful members of our community.

Papgni In 1959 the supervisors of Fresno County established the Fresno County Industrial Farm, a Class III facility to be used to house sentenced prisoners. At that time there were four barracks which held 60 inmates, making the capacity 240. In two additional barracks a laundry and recreation hall were built, bring- ing the total capacity to 360. For several years the camp ran at capacity or just below, housing mainly local drunks and misdemean- ants. During the '60s and early '70s the Indus- trial Farm served the purpose for which it was intended. In the mid '70s public attention began to turn toward prisons and jails, and the trend began to swing toward rehabilitation and training programs for the incarcerated. Many groups began to look at the institutions, and prison reform became a high priority on their list of things to do. The State of California developed a document to become known later as the Minimum Jail Standards (Title 15 of the California Administrative Code). One area it addressed was minimum space re- quirements for all inmates. Overcrowding became an issue, and counties throughout California began to look for ways and the means to meet these requirements. Fresno County was no different. In 1974 a major addition and remodeling project was begun on the Main Detention Facility. The project added a fourth floor, and the first, second and third floors were remodeled, in- creasing the facility's capacity. By the time the project was completed the jail was running at maximum capacity and at times over. During this period the Industrial Farm, which by this time had become known as the Branch Jail, was maintaining an average daily 81 population of approximately 75 to 80 inmates. Obviously the facility was not being used to its maximum, and changes were in order. The administration began to look more closely at the Branch Jail and worked on ways to utilize the space available more effectively. The weekender sentencing program was moved from the Main Jail to the Branch Jail, which had an immediate impact. This meant that one 60 -man barrack would be reserved for holding prisoners from Friday night till Mon- day morning. This reduced the total capacity of the facility by 60 bunks. Shortly thereafter, to further decrease the overcrowding at the main facility, the Work Furlough Program was also moved to the Caruthers site. This also required the utilization of one 60 -man barrack for this program. Even though two barracks were now being used for weekender and Work Furlough Programs exclusively, this caused no real problem for the general camp population. Because of the practices of the courts at that time, all prisoners doing straight time in Fresno County were easily housed in two barracks. The next area looked at in the Main Jail was the female section. A decision was made to move the sentenced female prisoners to the Branch Jail also. This meant that one more barrack would be modified to meet the special requirements involved in such a pro- gram. The facility functioned very well and, even with the changes, had no problem ,,with over- crowding. Extra bed space was still available and the administration was still interested in complete utilization of the facility. Surround- ing counties were not as fortunate and began to look elsewhere for space to hold excess prisoners from their overcrowded jails. Contracts were made with Madera, Tulare and Kings counties to hold their extra prison- ers at the Branch Jail for an equally agreed upon price per inmate per day. In July of 1980, a similar contract was signed with the Department of Corrections of the State of California to hold up to 50 state inmates from their overcrowded prisons. Recently we have seen a change in the correctional philosophy and sentencing practices in our county, and for the past 10 months the population of the Fresno County Branch Jail has been at the maximum. Any additional space we may have OF FRESNO 224 -3391 714 W. Shaw Avenue in Fig Garden Village RICH PRODUCTS CORP.

Feasibility studies are now being conduct- ed by the administration to build additional barracks at the facility. Besides planning for future requirements of Fresno County there exists great potential for additional revenue from contracted agencies. Overcrowding within detention facilities is a problem that is never going to go away. It is necessary to recognize the problem and plan for the future needs of our county and state facilities.

Cherry a Fresno o 485 -1290 Taking a Bite out of Crime By Reynold Morales Editor's note: We've all seen or heard the television and radio commercials featuring the gravelly- voiced bulldog who urges citi- zens to "take a bite out of crime" by follow- ing certain common sense procedures. The Sheriff's Department is now prepared to assist citizens in their attempts to heed that advice. The program is explained by one of the officers involved. Each of us feels the impact of burglary — directly or indirectly— through the sight of returning to a burglarized home; the constant reminder of news reports and crime statistics; the concern when we leave our homes and hope they will be intact when we return; and through increased insurance premiums. To help make concerned citizens aware of ways to combat burglary and other crimes in their neighborhoods, the Board of Supervisors provided funding in July 1981 to the Sheriff's Department to establish a Crime Prevention Unit. After a few months of ordering equip- ment and materials and locating office space, phase two of organizing the unit went into effect. Early fall was spent recruiting and hiring personnel for the unit and preparing training materials to be used in helping them to learn of the new duties for the important job ahead in educating the public about how they can help reduce crimes. The unit is staffed with a coordinator, five full time crime prevention officers, and a secretary who is well informed in crime pre- vention tips and our other programs so questions can always be answered when a citizen calls in. The unit is fortunate also to have Bob Smith, who has 28 years of experi- 91 "Ii ,Jti � Left to right, standing: Bob Smith, John Arnold, Jim Tolle, Mary Hernandez. Sitting: Jean McDougald, Nancy Arceneau, Reynold Morales, Coordinator. ence in working around burglary scenes, and personally knows the many easy ways bur- glars get into homes and what can be done to stop an easy entry. The programs designed to help alert citi- zens to safeguard their own property against burglars, assist neighboring families when they're away and thus more susceptible to intruders, and to encourage individuals to report any suspicious activity which may be a burglary or other crime are: Neighborhood Watch Groups— Residents on a block are organized to watch out for each other. They are kept informed of current crime problems in their neighborhoods, and are encouraged to call the department when they see suspicious activity. Security Inspections— Residential and commercial security inspections are per- formed at no charge. The results, in the form of written recommendations, are provided to the owner or resident.

The engravers are available at the Sheriff's Department through the Crime Prevention Unit. In the short time the unit staff has been working with the community, the response to our programs has been nothing short of over- whelming. As of today we have organized 45_ neighborhood watch groups involving over 600 citizens, made 375 home security inspec- tions, involved 400 citizens in Operation ID, and made 17 public presentations to more than 850 persons. At a Neighborhood Watch meeting the Crime Prevention officer makes a prepared presentation covering at least the following areas: the nature and extent of crime prob- lems; the role of law enforcement officers and citizens in preventing crime; and general and specific crime prevention techniques. Em- phasis is placed upon mutual reliance for the observation and reporting of unusual activi- ties. Other programs, such as Operation Identification and Home Security Inspection are also thoroughly explained. The meeting is attended by a Crime Prevention officer, and a patrol beat officer is also present. After the Crime Prevention officer delivers his presentation, a film on Neighborhood Watch is shown to recap all of the program's points previously discussed. At the conclusion of the movie the patrol beat officer arrives to 93 answer any questions concerning crime pre- vention or any other questions in general involving lave enforcement. Common sense tells us that homes involved in a Neighborhood Watch program are much less likely to be hit by burglars. A second benefit is that in neighborhoods so involved, people are friendlier to each other; they get to know and trust each other, making the neigh- borhood a more pleasant place to live. There cannot be a law enforcement officer on every corner, so citizen involvement is essential to combat the social crisis of crime. By cooperating with each other and the Sheriff's Department, citizens of Fresno County can help fight crime in their com- munities in the most effective way— before it begins! Keep up the good work, staff; as more and more citizens become involved in the crime prevention programs, we anticipate the prop- erty crime rates will further decline in the unincorporated areas of Fresno County, as the criminal element seeks a less alert citizen- ry to victimize. The Crime Prevention Unit is located on the main floor of the Sheriff's Department building, in room 151. We extend a warm welcome to the staff of the Department and to the public to come in and see what crime prevention is all about. KONG'S MARKET Meat - Groceries - Produce Beer and Wine 3706 E.

A native of Clovis, he attended Nees Grammar School and Clovis High, graduating with the class of 1941. He served in the United States Navy from 1943 till 1946, then was self - employed till 1959, when he became a deputy of Clovis Constable Alvie Maze. When Maze retired in 1968, Sagniere succeeded him in the top position, and served as constable of the Clovis Judicial District until the constable system was incorporated into the Sheriff's Department in 1973. At that time he was given the rank of sergeant and assigned to the Detective Division. After several years as a detective sergeant he was transferred to the Services Division and made Chief of Bailiff Services, the assignment he held at the time of retirement. Compliments Of GEO. A. HORMEL & CO. Deputy Sheriff III Jo Anne Fries retired on January 4, 1982, having been a member of the Department for 18 years. She was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, attend- ed elementary and high school there, and moved to California shortly after graduation. She worked for a while as a billing clerk for the Pacific Telephone Company, then as switchboard operator and dispatcher for the Madera Cab Company. The latter position led to an interest in law enforcement communications, and in 1964 she joined the Fresno County Sheriff's Department as a radio operator. She became a jail matron in 1965, and a deputy sheriff in July of 1971, when all jail matron positions were re- classi- fied. In June of 1978 she was assigned to the Technical Services section of the Services Division, and began training to be the Depart- ment's first female criminologist. She readily absorbed the training and performed her duties quite well, but she never attended official criminologist rank, due to a decision to phase out that job title and replace it with the newly created Deputy Sheriff III rank. She thus became the Department's first, and so far only, female Deputy Sheriff III. BUFORD'S APPLIANCES INC.

Andrews Ave., Fresno Lic. 0253208 233 -5203 Sergeant Charles Baley, a native of Kerman and a Clovis High School grad- uate, came close to serv- ing in the Sheriff's De- partment longer than any other person — almost 34 years, from July 1, 1949 to February 4, 1982. His appointment as a deputy sheriff followed by less than a month his gradu- ation from Fresno State College with a bache- lor's degree in criminology. He was among the first to embrace the post World War II premise that a college education would be an asset to a law enforcement career. He con- tinued his studies after joining the Depart- ment, and in 1964 was awarded a master's degree. After the usual stint as jailer and bailiff, Baley was a member of the Department's Mental Health unit for several years. He was promoted to sergeant in 1953 and assigned to the jail as a watch commander. He was trans- ferred to the Civil Division in 1963, and fin- ished his career in that assignment, becoming quite an expert in field application of civil law as it pertains to a sheriff's department.

SHAW ELBOW ROOM CLOVIS 198 SHAW, CLOVIS m 110 Senior Jail Cook Ray Webb had a somewhat brief career with the Sheriff's Department, - but that is understand- able considering his dis- tinguished prior career. He was born in E1 Reno, Oklahoma, and after at- tending school there and in Kingsburg, California, he joined the United States Navy in 1942. Ile became a cook, and subsequently served in the South Pacific throughout the remainder of World War II, and advanced to Chief Cook on Destroyer DD718, the USS Hamner. He held the same position on the battleship Iowa during the Korean conflict. He retired from the navy in 1962 after 20 years service. Webb joined the Sheriff's Department in January of 1971, and became Senior Jail Cook at the Branch Jail, then known as the Indus- trial Farm. That institution had always en- joyed a well- deserved reputation for excellent standards of institutional cuisine, and under Webb's supervision and direction that reputa- tion was, if anything, enhanced. That, too, is understandable, considering his distinguished prior career. He ran his kitchen as if he was still cooking for an admiral.

He was born in the old Liberty school district, which included the site of the present Branch Jail, where he had been assigned since its establishment in 1960 as the Industrial Farm. Not that he spent his entire life in such narrow confines. He attended grammar school in Laton and Riverdale, and after graduation from Riverdale High School entered the United States Army and served with the 103rd Infantry Division in Europe in World War II.

At that time inmate labor was being utilized to develop park and recreational facilities throughout the county. Present day users of such facilities in the Pine Flat area can thank Gene McClurg and crews under his supervision. When the Parks and Recreation Depart- ment took over such development, Mac was assigned as relief watch commander at the Industrial Farm. He served in that capacity until 1975, when he was given responsibility for the cattle herd. Under his direction the fine work of his predecessors was continued, and the herd is now the envy of many long established cattlemen around the state.

SHAW (Shaw and Willow) (209) 298 -4295 Crime Scene Unknown —Part Two By Sgt. James Hamilton Synopsis —Three years ago we ran a story entitled Crime Scene Unknown, telling of a particularly interesting and complex investi- gation into the disappearance of a young man, Eric Wilson, of Ottawa, Canada. At that time, although suspects Raymond Hatch and Ber- tram Davis had been arrested and had con- fessed to murdering Wilson in Colorado and disposing of his body somewhere near Grand Junction, the body had not yet been found and suspects had not gone to trial. I have tried to maintain close contacts with Colorado authorities so that I could report details of the conclusion of the case, but have not been too successful. For some reason they have been reluctant to release information. The follow- ing is the story in general, believed to be accurate as far as it goes, pieced together from what information I have been able to obtain from Colorado, and from a television docu- mentary, produced by the Candian Broad- casting Corporation and televised in this country by the Public Broadcasting System. Upon returning from vacation in Decem- ber 1978, I was advised that Bertram Davis had confessed to FBI agents in New Haven, Connecticut, that he and Hatch had kid- napped Wilson, and that Hatch had murdered him in Colorado. Davis waived extradition to Colorado, where he subsequently made a deal with the district attorney. He promised to lead officers to where the body had been disposed of, to testify against Hatch, and to plead guilty to his involvement, in exchange for a commitment that he be allowed to serve his prison sentence in a prison outside Colo- rado. He kept the first part of the bargain, and 113 Wilson's body was located. Although badly decomposed, it was identified through dental records and returned to Canada for burial. After his plea of guilty, arrangements were made for him to serve his sentence in the New Mexico State Prison near Santa Fe. Hatch fought extradition with every means at his disposal, and it was not until the latter part of 1980 that he was finally brought to Colorado to stand trial. In the meantime, there had been a major riot in the New Mexico State Prison, in which the prison was burned by the inmates and several inmated murdered by other inmates. Bertram Davis survived the riot, but seeing inmates killed by their peers made him decide he didn't want a "snitch jacket." When Colo- rado authorities came to take him back to testify against Hatch, he told them he'd changed his mind and would not testify. His testimony was to have been the strong point in the prosecution's case; without it the district attorney felt he had insufficient evidence to sustain a conviction. He therefore felt com- pelled to offer Hatch a deal. Hatch agreed to plead guilty to murder in the second degree, and was subsequently sentenced to the Colo- rado State Prison for a term believed to carry a maximum of eight years. As so often happens, there was a break- down in the criminal justice system after the arrest, and the punishment of either of the suspects was not commensurate with the seriousness of the crime. We in law enforce- ment get used to that happening, but we never learn to like it.

That was the last we heard until the television schedule indicated the time and date of broadcast on the local PBS station. The documentary was interesting, and prob- ably accurate as far as it went, but it did not tell the whole story. There was no mention of the use of the stolen credit card in Firebaugh, any indication that the suspects had ever been in California, or that any California law enforcement agency had been involved. Most of the credit for solving the case was given to the private detective hired by Eric's mother.

CLOVIS 209/299 -2152 A Tradition Is Born First Pig Bowl Game a Whopping Success Most of the 6500 or so fans who braved the cold of McLane Stadium on January 16 to see the first Pig Bowl game probably expected it to be something of a farce, with a bunch of over -age, has -been athletes stumbling over each other, fumbling every time they touched the ball, and running the wrong way if it did accidentally stick in their hands. Those who were hoping for that type of game were sorely disappointed. It was 60 minutes of hard - fought, well - played football, of a quality the most exacting high school coach wouldn't have been ashamed of. One would have thought each player was being watched by a scout from the NFL, with a lucrative pro career depending upon his performance, instead of playing in just a friendly game, the outcome of which had no particular signifi- cance except satisfaction for the players themselves and their respective departments. The defense of both teams was particularly effective, as indicated by the low score, but the performance eclipsed that of the offense only because it is easier to play defense with a minimum of training and practice than it is to play offense with a like degree of prepara- tion. There was a maximum degree of effort and enthusiasm expended by both offense and defense of both teams. The match -up was astonishingly even; right up to the closing minutes the game could have gone either way. The Sheriff's Department 15 -7 victory can be credited more to the breaks of the game than to the possibility that their defense was perhaps just a shade tougher. Another astonishing and gratifying factor was the low incidence of injuries. Driving around in a patrol car or doing the leg work on a criminal investigation is not conducive to maintaining the type of physical condition required to play football, so there was some 117 MW L Deputy Troy Garey, president of the Deputy Sher- iffs' Association, receives the victory trophy from John Donaldson, president of the Fresno Police Officers Association.

Although all the players had considerable experience on the high school or college gridiron, in most cases that was many years ago. John Souza of the Sheriff's Depart- ment team and 18 years off the Fowler High School team, received the most serious injury: a broken leg and a sprained ankle, and prog- nosis for complete recovery is good. The other injuries were of a comparatively minor nature: cracked ribs, torn knee cartilage, bruises, and strained muscles. That is an in- dication of how seriously the players viewed the game, and how hard they worked to get into condition for it. Sportsmanship also was of the highest standards, in keeping with the quality of play. In spite of the intensity of effort and com- petition, only one brief flare -up of temper was noted, and it was quickly squelched by cooler heads on the guilty player's own team. He walked away from the encounter looking a bit sheepish, and relieved that his lapse from accepted standards of sportsmanship had been interrupted before any real harm had been done. aar- ,x 01W 0 ^� .i . isir - J Deputies' daughters.

Some of the deputies' daughters must be cheerleaders or pep girls at school, for they obviously knew what they were doing.

The winner was Annemarie Sandifer. Nick Ryan of radio station Y94 served as public address announcer, assisted by Deputy Chief of Police Pat Johnson and Sheriff Harold McKinney as spotters and color com- mentators. While the trio couldn't have been mistaken for Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, and Don Meredith, their comments and patter were timely, entertaining, and informative, and, most of the time, reasonably accurate. Other than the cold, there were only two sour notes to mar the gala occasion. The con- cessionaires had been too cautious in laying in supplies, and there weren't enough hotdogs, popcorn, or other goodies to meet the de- mand. In addition, McLane Stadium simply isn't large enough to accommodate the un- expected throng. All in all, it was a pleasant afternoon for the spectators, and perhaps even for the players who limped off the field and went around smelling of liniment for days afterward. Everyone had a lot of fun, a considerable amount of money was raised for worthy causes, and the event probably did more to foster goodwill and understanding between local law enforcement and the citizens who witnessed it, and between the two depart- ments, than any single occurrence in recent years. Plans are already being made for next year's game, and those plans, based on interest shown this year, will, if possible, include arrangements for it to be enjoyed by an even larger group of fans. Perhaps the promoters of the California Bowl could profit by some pointers on hove to fill a stadium from the officers who worked so hard to make a success of the Pig Bowl.

GROWERS and SHIPPERS Packers of RAISINS and DRIED FRUIT Leo & Mike Choollian, Owners Sanger, California Now It Can Be Told Twenty -five or thirty years ago it was con- sidered necessary to have two officers in a patrol car, on the theory that it was unsafe for an officer to work alone. That may seem a bit ridiculous today, for officers now work in a much more hostile environment, generally. Of course, a back -up unit was not nearly as readily available then, but there was some waste of manpower, particularly on the grave- yard shift. Between the time the bars closed at 2:00 A.M. and businesses began opening about 7:30, there was often nothing to do but drive around the beat looking for suspicious activ- ity. It was not uncommon, therefore, for the officer not driving to occasionally rest his head on the back of the seat and catch a few winks. Salaries were so low in those days that many officers worked a second job in the daytime, and needed the sleep. The practice wasn't officially condoned, of course, but everyone knew it was going on, and no one objected as long as the sleeping officer could wake up immediately and be ready for action. There was one officer, though, who over- did it abit. Not content with merely resting his head on the back of the seat, he'd pull off his boots, get as close to a supine position as possible, and sleep soundly. His partner claimed he was reluctant to use the radio lest VILLA LOBOS MEXICAN & AMERICAN FOOD 15901 East Kings Canyon Road 787 -2188 Centerville 125 with the mike open the snoring would be audible at headquarters. The partner racked his brain for weeks, trying to think of a way to change the sleeper's habits. He didn't dare report to superiors, lest that trigger a rigid order against sleeping that would hurt everyone. When the sleeper start- ed bringing a pillow along, the partner de- cided the time had come for drastic action, and began to try harder than ever to come up with some means of getting the point across. While patrolling a commercial area on the outskirts of Fresno late one night, he sudden- ly realized he'd found what he'd been looking for —in a vacant lot. He drove back a half mile or so, approached the chosen spot at a high rate of speed, pulled off the roadway, slammed on the brakes, opened his door and jumped out yelling, "Wake up, Buddy! We've got a call!" Already shaken partially awake by the sudden stop, Sleeping Beauty opened his door, jumped out, and took several steps before he was alert enough to realize he was running, in his stocking feet, through one of the thickest mats of puncture vines in the San Joaquin Valley. He never again removed his boots while on duty, and any sleeping he did from then on was in an acceptably discreet manner.

What's taking so long? ... Why do they have to do that now? These questions and similar others are not infrequently heard spoken by law enforce- ment personnel when paramedics are ad- ministering to the victims of motor vehicle accidents, acts of violence or many of the other causes that draw both professions to- gether in the field. Just what occurs at the scene of a medical emergency is orchestrated by a complex series of protocols, procedures and expecta- tions that are the result of the many efforts of persons involved in the delivery of advanced prehospital care in Fresno County. Not only is this development of emergency medical serv- ices a dynamic process, but it is a process duplicated in every county in California. To best understand the nature of the efforts of paramedics at a scene, it would be wise to examine the nature of the paramedic concept itself. The idea of providing advanced life sup- port outside the hospital to persons in need of definitive care first became available in Fres- no County in 1975. Other California commun- ities had paramedic programs as early as 1970. Then, as now, the fundamental theory is to extend the services of the hospital emergency department to the patient, early in the crisis, when the chances for successful outcome can be most affected. In order to provide this extension of care out into the homes, highways and vineyards of our community, the paramedic must be taught to analyze, evaluate and perform as though he were in the emergency depart- ment. The only difference is that it may be 127 dark, cold, raining, and the sniper might still be at large in the area. Regardless of the exact nature of the patient's medical condition, paramedics are taught to follow basic protocols designed to evaluate and treat the various problems of the victim of sudden onset of illness or injury. Similarly, the procedures employed to pro- vide for the clinical needs of the patient are the collective result of all that is known about definitive pre - hospital care, applied to the particular resources and needs of our area by local experts in emergency medical services. These protocols and procedures have been standardized and it is known that for optimal Photo by Dan Waterhouse WINDMILL RANCH Fruits — Nuts — Olives — Dried Fruits — Wines 896 -1211 • E.

Thus, although the paramedic at the scene may appear to act in an independent manner, his activity is merely a reflection of a much larger group whose goal it is to reduce mor- bidity and mortality. On an immediate basis, the paramedic functions as a member of the emergency department, whose directions he receives by radio at the scene. On a broader scope, he is a component of the team of physicians, nurses, ambulance services, fire services and others who have developed emergency medical services in our county. Earlier in this article, it was mentioned that expectations play a role in emergency care. Foremost is that of the patient, who has a right to expect the very best in pre - hospital care, TORII MARKET 1426 Grove Street Selma Donaldson's Auto Dismantling Late Model Salvage STEVE DONALDSON DAVE DONALDSON ROBERTO MALDONADO RAMON GARZA PHONE 626 -4322 146 ANCHOR AVE. a ORANGE COVE, CA HARDING & LEGGETT, INC.

The physician in the emergency department, whose medical license to practice is put on the line each time a paramedic responds, has the right to expect that the paramedic will per- form in the manner prescribed each and every time. Finally, the paramedic himself holds the expectation that others involved will permit him to do what is necessary to achieve the results so hoped for in advanced pre - hospital care. When one realizes that there are over one hundred causes of chest pain and that the list of potential injuries as a result of striking a steering wheel is overwhelming, one begins to understand the answers to "what are they doing? ... what's taking so long? ...

The post's primary purpose is providing a means by which young men and women may determine through actual experience if they would like to pursue a career in law enforce- ment. The post program also provides the Sher- iff's Department with additional human resources and provides an opportunity for the Sheriff's Department to get a better under- standing of youth. While involved in the Sheriff's Department Exploring activities, deputy explorers assist regular deputies by performing non - hazardous duties. In 1981 the explorers assisted citizens on Christmas Tree Lane in stalled vehicles and by traffic control. New Fresno Sheriff's Explorers are required to complete a 64 -hour academy.

Real life detectives also solve crimes by such means on occasion, but more often the pro- cess is much more mundane — checking in- numerable tiny bits of seemingly unrelated information from a number of sources, and through the knowledge and analytical ability gained through years of training and experi- ence, finding pieces that fit into the overall puzzle and arranging them in proper order to form a comprehensive picture. Such was the investigation of the armed robbery and mur- der at Liquor Junction in Highway City in 1961. The original Liquor Junction store, on the west side of old 99 Highway just north of Shaw Avenue, could scarcely have been made more attractive to a robber or a burglar had that feature been deliberately planned. The only other business establishment nearby was a bar a few yards to the south, with the en- trance on the side opposite the store. There were no residences situated in such a position that the occupants would be likely to observe any unusual occurrences at the store, or pay any particular attention to traffic in or out. The neighborhood was poorly lighted; across the highway was the Southern Pacific rail- road, and beyond it miles of fig orchards. Getaway could be quickly made via the highway or a main road in either of four directions. In spite of its vulnerability, however, it was a good location from a business standpoint, and several owners over the years considered 131 the potential profit worth the risk. Among them was Homer F. Bryan, who purchased the store after resigning his position as en- forcement officer for the state Department of Fish and Game. Having been closely associ- ated with other law enforcement agencies for several years, Bryan was cognizant of the danger of burglary and robbery, and took every reasonable precaution. At closing time, ten o'clock on week nights, he customarily emptied the cash register and took the money home, carrying it in a bank money bag stuf fed in his trousers pocket. All his caution, however, was to no avail. On the night of May 22, 1961, shortly after 10:30, a young couple, Connie Trujillo of Fresno and Paul Romero of Madera, stopped at the store to purchase some aspirin. Romero entered, and found Homer Bryan's body lying just inside the door, with bullet wounds in the head and chest. The Sheriff's Department was called from the bar next door, and Deputies John Caprelian and Chet Lovgren responded. They confirmed that Bryan was deceased, decided that robbery had been the motive, and that he had been accosted while in the process of closing for the night. The keys for locking the inner door were in the lock, the padlock for the outer door, and Bryan's hat were on the floor nearby, and one of his pockets was turned inside out. On the door- step they found two empty .32 caliber shell casings. Caprelian and Lovgren took appro- priate measures to secure the scene, and protected it until the arrival of the homicide investigators, Detective Sergeants A. Papaleo and Bud Lauters.

A more thorough search of the scene pro- duced little physical evidence to add to that found by Caprelian and Lovgren. It was de- termined that a metal box, containing certain business records but no cash, was missing from beneath the counter. If any liquor or other merchandise had been taken, the quan- tity was not large enough for the loss to be obvious. The cash register tape indicated the day's sales had totalled less than a hundred dollars. Bryan never carried a great deal of money on his person other than cash from the register, so the robbers' take, compared to the seriousness of the crime, had been negligible. Subsequent investigation added a bit more to the collection of evidence; at the autopsy both a .22 and a .32 caliber bullet were found. No .22 shell casings had been located at the scene. That indicated there'd been at least two suspects, one armed with a .32 automatic, which would eject empty shells as they are fired, and the other with a.22 revolver or rifle, which wouldn't eject empties. Even with so little information on which to base the investigation, Papaleo and Lauters had a tool which is not availalbe to present day investigators —the old- fashioned, out- moded, incredibly slow by modern stand- ards, teletype system, with its daily all points bulletins. The modern computerized system is much faster in responding to requests for information when specific qualifying factors are known, but it is not an adequate replace- ment for the human element that was an inherent part of the old. Under that system, whenever a robbery or other crime having a distinctive modus operandi or a description of suspects occurred, the investigators would send to either Sacramento or Los Angeles a teletype containing all pertinent information. That information was then re- transmitted statewide, and to some stations in neighbor- ing states, as an All Points Bulletin. Such trans- missions were made during the low traffic 133 period after midnight, and in most depart- ments were sorted according to crime classi- fication and were ready for perusal by detec- tives when they reported for duty the next morning. High on the priority list of activities was the reading of the day's all points bulle- tins, to see if any other agency had had a crime, or had suspects in custody or identi- fied, that through similarities in modus oper- andi or descriptions could be connected to an incident we'd had. That practice is now out of date; not be- cause the computerized system is incapable of handling the information, but because in recent years the sheer volume of crime has become so great that no detective or agency would have time to read bulletins from all over the state and attempt to match specific crimes with similar ones in other jurisdictions. But 20 years ago many crimes, particularly armed robberies where there were witnesses to furnish descriptions, were solved by study of all points bulletins and exchange between departments of information thus gleaned. One of the first things Papaleo and Lauters did, therefore, was issue an all points bulletin describing the crime —the main modus oper- andi points, a liquor store in a rural area but on a main highway, robbed at closing time by two suspects, one armed with a.32 automatic and the other with a .22 rifle or revolver, probably the latter because rifles are too cumbersome to carry and too difficult to conceal to be popular weapons among rob- bers. While waiting for response to their APB, the detectives began the routine leg work. All residences and other business establishments within a half mile were checked, but no one was found who had seen or heard anything unusual on the night of the 22nd. That came as no surprise —as was mentioned earlier, no one lived or worked that close to the scene. During the first few days numerous tips were received from other law enforcement agencies, and from private citizens, who had Van Beurden, Wigh and Associates INSURANCE SERVICES, INC. William J.

One caller reported seeing a green Oldsmobile with a primered trunk lid drive slowly by the store just before 10:00 P.M., with two occupants wearing some kind of military uniform. A few days later the vehicle was located in Highway City, and found to be owned by a young man who, with a friend, had been returning from a National Guard weekly meeting, and had taken a short cut by driving between the liquor store and the tavern. The California Highway Patrol reported one of their units in Lemoore had arrested, early on the morning of the 23rd, two es- capees from California Youth Authority facil- ity at Paso Robles. The youths were driving a stolen car and had thrown a .22 caliber revolver away as the officers approached. Investigation revealed they had escaped too late the previous night to have been in Fresno in time to commit the crime under investiga- tion. San Leandro Police Department report- ed that .32 caliber bullets recovered from a recently murdered policeman's body were available for ballistics comparison. Lieut. John Belton, the Department's ballistics ex- pert, flew there and made the comparison, but the bullets didn't match the ones from our case. Other liquor store owners in the Fresno area called to report persons they now considered suspicious who had been in their establish- ments on the evening in question. Several calls were received giving license numbers of vehicles observed in the area on the evening of the crime, and which for some reason or another aroused the suspicions of the obser- ver. All such leads were checked out, but produced no pertinent information. Shortly after the investigation began, Papa - leo and Lauters found among the APB's one describing the robbery of a liquor store with the business name of Red Carpet in Modesto on the evening of the 21st, the day before the Liquor Junction robbery and murder. The clerk had been beaten, but was able to give a 135 fair description of two assailants, both white males. He stated one had been armed with a .22 revolver, and the other with a .45 auto- matic. The two crimes couldn't be definitely tied together, but the m.o.'s were close enough to warrant further investigation. Armed robbery victims understandably have a tendency to overestimate the size of a gun barrel staring them in the face, so the .45 described by the Modesto victim could have been a much smaller caliber. The Modesto Police Department was contacted, and after a second interview of their witness, they re- ported the automatic could have been as small as a .32. For the next few weeks the officers contin- ued checking tips and possible connections obtained from APB's. Information was re- ceived that a few days before the crime, two inmates had escaped from the state correc- tional facility at Chino. One, who had once lived in Fresno, had previously remarked to other inmates that he knew a liquor store in Herndon that would be easy to knock over. Herndon is a few miles from Highway City, but close enough that the remark was worthy of interest. Lyman Ross, the local investigator for the National Auto Theft Bureau, reported a stolen car abandoned and burned near Ceres, in Stanislaus County, two or three days before the robbery and murder. Fire investi- gators had found empty .22 and .32 caliber shell casings in the remains of the vehicle. Four suspects in custody for a rural tavern KERMAN WAREHOUSE 846 -7341 1100 S. MADERA AVE.

On June 16 the Downey Police Department re- ported two suspects in custody who had admitted about 15 robberies in southern Cali- fornia. When apprehended they were armed with a .45 and a .25, but on some of the jobs they'd been responsible for, a.22 and a.32 had been used. They admitted having had the two weapons, but refused to disclose what they had done with them. Tulare County Sheriff's Department reported three suspects identi- fied but not yet apprehended in one of their cases could be responsible for ours. By the time the investigation had been under way a month, an average of one tele- type a day had been sent by Papaleo and Lauters, to various agencies to check on pos- sible connections discovered through daily reading of the APB's. Lieutenant Belton had made about a dozen separate ballistics exam- inations, comparing markings on the bullets and shell casings from our case to those of the same caliber recovered by other agencies. Inquiries were also made on possible connec- tions out of state, as far away as Louisiana and Rhode Island. On June 21 the teletype system carried an APB which Papaleo and Lauters found ex- tremely interesting. Phoenix, Arizona Police Department reported a robbery of a service station, coupled with kidnapping and assault on the attendant, in which the two primary suspects had been identified by several un- willing accomplices. The pair, Jaynes Abner Bentley and Freddie Dale Waldo, had alleg- edly bragged to their accomplices before the Phoenix crime that they had killed a man, either a bartender or liquor store clerk, in California. Phoenix P.D. was immediately contacted by telephone, and Sergeant Wilson of the Robbery Detail confirmed the informa- tion, adding that the suspects had stated that both of them had shot the victim, and that they'd used a .32 automatic and a .22 revolver. That information was conclusive enough that an all points bulletin was immediately issued 137 naming Bentley and Waldo as suspects in our case. The next day, June 23, Sergeant Wilson was contacted by telephone again. He stated Waldo had been apprehended the previous night in a small town near Phoenix. He had admitted involvement in the Phoenix case, but denied -any criminal activity in California. Papaleo, Lauters, and Deputy District Attor- ney George Carter left for Phoenix immedi- ately to question Waldo further. Phoenix P.D. had also learned that Bentley's ex -wife and her parents lived in Calwa, and Detective Sergeants Walt Pinion and Joe Orn- doff checked the address there. The family was not at home, but a neighbor furnished an address where they were visiting relatives in Fort Scott, Kansas. At Phoenix Sergeant Wilson assigned De- tectives Jack Torton and Richard Twitchell to assist the Fresno officers. Torton and Twitch - ell provided more details about their case and the apparent involvement of Bentley and Waldo in ours. Bentley had been living around the Phoenix area for some time, off and on, and had become quite friendly with a group of five youths ranging in age from 13 to 18. Sometime in early or mid May one of them had been with Bentley when he purchased a .32 automatic at a sporting goods store in Mesa. Shortly afterward Bentley left for Cali- fornia, and when he returned several days later Waldo was with him. The two continued to associate with the group of juveniles, and it was to them they had boasted about killing a man in California. On June 21 Bentley and Waldo had told - their young friends they were going to hold up a service station and kidnap the attendant, and asked if there was anyone who didn't want to go along. One of them tried to decline, and was struck in the mouth by Bentley. No one else then dared voice an objection. The group drove around in Bent- ley's car, looking for a suitable service station. It was never explained why they wanted to take their young friends along. Apparently they felt they were objects of hero worship as big time criminals, and it tickled their egos to have an audience. When they located a service station that met their requirements, they parked on the side lot and, leaving the juveniles in the car, accosted the attendant as he emerged from a restroom he'd been cleaning. They forced him to accompany them to the office, and beat him in an attempt to force him to open the safe. When he insisted he had no key, they settled for the money in the cash box, and left in the victim's car, taking him along, and telling their friends to follow them in Bentley's car. By this time the boys' hero worship was being overshadowed by concern for their own welfare. They followed into a rural area, and then took advantage of a truck driving between the two cars to flee, and drove directly to the police station and told their story. Meanwhile, it was just as well for the bandits' reputations as big time criminals that their audience had walked out on their per- formance. Their victim turned out to be a bit more than they'd bargained for. During a struggle in the car he managed to take a knife away from Waldo and slash and stab him McLeod Ford Sales & Service "The Valley's Fairest Dealer" 867 -3549 Riverdale COMPLIMENTS OF A. F.

After a further struggle outside the car he feigned unconsciousness, and as they picked him up to put him back into the car, remark- ing that he was dead and they'd have to get rid of the body, he broke away and escaped into the darkness. Statements were taken from all the boys that morning, and from a woman described as a former girl friend who also had heard the story about the killing in California. After hearing first hand the information regarding Bentley and Waldo telling of killing a man in California, Papaleo and Lauters were satis- fied Homer Bryan was the victim referred to. A third suspect had also been mentioned — someone referred to only as "Spider," who had driven Bentley and Waldo to the scene and remained in the car during actual com- mission of the crime. That afternoon Waldo was questioned. He admitted being a friend of Bentley, and claimed he and Bentley had been driven to Arizona by Billy Joe and Linda Chapple from Winton, California, where they had all shared RIVERDALE DRUG STORE PRESCRIPTIONS 867 -3013 Riverdale Lloyds Bank California Phones: 864 -3000 — 867 -3524 3494 W.

Also contacted was the owner of the sporting goods store where he'd purchased the weapon. The own- er said he'd purchased it in Seattle a few months earlier, and had never fired it, and thus had no empty casings fired from it. The next day Waldo was questioned again.

The day was spent in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the Chapples. Sergeant Wilson reported from Phoenix on June 29 that Bentley had been apprehended in Fort Scott, Kansas, where he had made con- tact with his ex -wife. Kansas officers had mentioned the Fresno case to him, and his only response had been, "Oh, that poor boy." Later that day Field and Bear called to report they had found out where the Chapples were living. They were asked to take them into custody, and told that a transportation air- plane would pick them up as soon as they were arrested. Arrest was made immediately and without incident, and Sergeants Don Safford and Jack DeYoung, pilots of the transportation airplane, delivered them to the detectives that evening. Linda Chapple was questioned first, by detectives and Deputy District Attorney Car- ter. She was very evasive at first, but finally agreed to tell the truth. She stated Waldo had been staying with her and her husband for about a month when Bentley, a friend of Waldo's she had known previously, arrived. A few days later Bentley and Waldo forced her and her husband to drive them to Modesto where the two held up the Red Carpet Liquor Store while she and her husband waited in the car with their 18- month -old daughter. A day or so later Bentley and Waldo made the Chapples drive them to Fresno, where they waited in the car while the Liquor Junction store was robbed. She pointed out on a map she drew the position of the building in relation to the highway and the tavern, where the car had been parked, and the route Bentley and Waldo had taken from the car to the store. She said they were gone about four or five minutes, during that time she heard what sounded like two gunshots, they were running when they returned, and said some- one had been shot. They left going east on Shaw, turned south a short distance past the railroad, and went to Calwa, where they 141 intended to hold up another liquor store. They couldn't find a suitable place there, so went to Highway 99 and returned to Winton. A few days later they transported Bentley and Wal- do to Holtville, in the desert near the Arizona line, where Bentley had previously left his car when it had developed mechanical trouble. She also stated that Bentley claimed after- ward that Bryan had tried to grab the gun, and that was the reason for shooting him. Billy Joe Chapple was also very evasive at first, but when shown the map his wife had drawn and initialed, he corroborated her story. He added that the day after the Liquor Junction incident, he had driven Bentley and Waldo to the Merced River, where they had disposed of the guns by dismantling them and throwing the parts into several feet of water. Both Chapples denied sharing in the pro- ceeds from either robbery. After the Modesto job, they said, they had been given a few dollars for gasoline reimbursement, and $15 for the same purpose at Holtville. Next day, June 30, the detectives, along with Carter and members of the Depart- ment's diving team, Sergeants Mel Hansen, Dan Conway, and Roy Rainville, had Billy Chapple direct them to the spot on the river where the guns had been disposed of. While the divers searched the river, the others searched an orchard where Bentley had dis- posed of empty .32 shell casings fired in practice. Two empties were found. The divers found the .32 and the frame of the .22, but due to several inches of soft mud on the bottom, hadn't been able to locate the barrel, the part essential for a ballistics comparison. The two investigators, Carter, and Court Reporter Bill Green were flown to Phoenix on July 1 by Safford and DeYoung to take formal statements from Waldo and the previously questioned witnesses, the boys and the former girl friend. All the witnesses told the same story as when previously interviewed. Waldo still refused to talk, and didn't change his mind even of ter he was shown photographs of the .32 automatic recovered from the river. FIVE STAR RANCH SOUTH BUTTE AVE.

The officers returned to Fresno and spent the next few days trying to tie in several bits of miscellaneous information that could be help- ful in establishing their case. Madera Distri- buting Company, the wholesaler with whom Bryan had done business, was contacted to see if serial numbers on empty liquor bottles found at the former Chapple residence could be identified as part of an order sold to Liquor Junction. Nothing conclusive could be estab- lished. An attempt was made to locate a mine detector to use in a further search of the river bottom. After several telephone calls to utility companies and military installations, a colonel at Fort Ord said he would see if one was avail- able there and call back. A check of the serial number on the re- covered .22 frame indicated it had once been owned by a resident of Bakersfield. Bakers- field P.D. was asked to check, and reported back with a new address of the subject in Alaska. A letter was written to him, and he answered some time later, saying he had loaned the gun to a friend to take on a hunting trip into the Alaska wilderness, and hadn't seen the friend or the gun since. How the weapon subsequently came into Waldo's pos- session and along with a.32 owned by Bentley and traced back as close to Alaska as Seattle, was used in a murder in California was a coin- cidence that was never explained. On July 6 the officers returned to Phoenix to talk to Bentley, who had just been brought back from Kansas. He was surprisingly co- operative, stating that he would talk if he could first have a private meeting with Waldo. He said he would try to persuade Waldo to talk also, and even if unable to do so, he would then tell all he knew about the Liquor Junction case. He had already ad- mitted involvement to Maricopa County Sheriff's transportation officers returning him 143 from Kansas. Arrangements were made for Bentley and Waldo to have a private conver- sation early that afternoon. Bentley apparently made a sincere attempt to persuade Waldo to talk. Waldo responded by saying he wouldn't be angry if Bentley wanted to talk, but that he wasn't going to say anything. 'A formal statement was then taken from Bentley. Bentley's account of his activities, starting from mid -May when he left Arizona to drive to California, had car trouble at Holtville, left his car there and continued on by bus, joined Waldo at the Chapple residence, the com- mission of the two crimes in California and subsequent return to Arizona, conformed very closely to what the others had said. His explanation of the shooting was that the gun had gone off when Bryan grabbed it and wouldn't let go. He claimed the Chapples had been willing participants in both holdups, with full knowledge of what he and Waldo intended to do, and that in each case he, Bentley, left, and Waldo, middle, are escorted from the airplane by Det. Sgt. Bud Lauters, on their return from Arizona. WOOLF FARMING CO., INC. P.O. BOX 215 HURON Waldo, and Chapple split the money three ways. Because our case was more serious, the district attorney of Maricopa County agreed to release Bentley and Waldo to be prose- cuted in California. They waived extradition and were returned to Fresno on July 7. That afternoon another attempt was made to ques- tion Waldo. He still refused to discuss the case; however, referring to the Chapples, he said Billy Chapple was in on everything and got as much out of it as he did. To Court Reporter Green he remarked, off the record, "If they say I did it, I guess I did it." Several more interrogation sessions were held, including a polygraph examination by Ed Bates, then an investigator f or the National Board of Fire Underwriters, later the Sheriff of Madera County, and presently a candidate for Congress. Before the polygraph examina- tion on Billy Chapple was completed he de- cided to tell the full story, and admitted being a knowledgeable and willing participant. His wife also made a full confession. On July 10 Fort Ord sent a team with a mine detector to search the river. Nothing else was found, but, as it turned out, no further evi- dence was needed. That already assembled, through a month and a half of persistent, painstaking detective work, was sufficient to persuade all four suspects to plead guilty. Bentley pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree, was sentenced to death, and was executed in the gas chamber at San Quentin on January 23, 1963.

These aircraft are under the command of the Central Divi- sion Commander, Chief Robert Hartman. The objectives of the fixed -wing crew members and the helicopter crew members are nearly opposite. The primary role of the Fixed -Wing Program is to assist the Highway Patrol "with traffic management responsibili- ties and to aid the motoring public. A second- ary role is to assist other public service organ- izations. The primary objective of the Heli- copter Program is to assist other public serv- ice organizations with crime control, search and rescue missions, medical evacuations, or in any other manner in which the helicopter can be effectively used. A secondary role is to assist members of the CHP with its traffic management responsibilities. Both programs have proved to be very valuable aids to the law enforcement agencies and to the public. 145 Helicopter personnel.

The Fixed -Wing Program In January of 1974, the California Highway Patrol assigned a fixed -wing airplane to Cen- tral Division. Its purpose was to assist the CHP in patrolling Interstate 5 in the San Joa- quin Valley. The airplane quickly proved to be a very effective traffic management tool and in assisting stranded motorists on the remote westside where commercial services were very limited. The CHP currently has two airplanes based in Coalinga under the direction of the Coalinga Area Commander Lieutenant Gene McDaniel. The "Coalinga Air Force," as it is known by highway patrolmen, operates two types of airplanes. The first is a single engine Maule which is capable of carrying two persons at a cruising speed of 145 miles per hour and can fly as slow as 55 miles per hour. The second is a Cessna 180 that seats four people, cruises at 155 miles per hour, or as slow as 48 miles per hour. The unit is staffed with one sergeant /aerial supervisor /pilot and four traffic officer/ pilots. They all possess a Commercial Pilot's License with an instrument rating and are trained Emergency Medical Technicians. On an average day, the aircraft crew mem- bers log 6.5 incidents per flight hour. In 1981 the two airplanes in Coalinga were directly responsible for approximately 6,000 erring drivers being issued citations for various vio- lations of the law and assisted some 10,000 stranded motorists, mostly along the vast, lonely stretches of Interstate 5. The crews also responded to approximately 70 vehicle colli- sions and provided first aid to the injured persons. Although the primary objective of the Fixed -Wing Program is to assist the CHP with traffic management, the airplanes are available to assist allied agencies with a wide variety of services, including searches, sur- veillances, photography, and medical evacu- ations.

The CHP helicopter, better known as "H -40," is a Hughes 500 jet turbine aircraft with a normal cruising speed of 130 miles per hour. It is equipped with a sophisticated communica- tions system which allows the crew to com- municate with six different agencies simul- taneously, while monitoring nine others. It has the capability of transmitting and receiving on 9,000 plus frequencies. The helicopter is also equipped with a 3.5 million candlepower searchlight for night operations, and has the capability for medical evacuations from most types of terrain. Although H -40 is normally operated within a 65 -mile radius of Fresno, the crew frequently responds to calls for assis- tance from Sonora to Bakersfield. The heli- copter is manned and available seven days a week, 16;2 hours a day, from 11:00 A.M. until 3:30 A.M. It is also available on a call -out basis from 3:30 A.M. until 11:00 A.M. The H -40 crew consists of an aerial super- visor, four pilots, and three observers —all members of the Highway Patrol. The pilots were assigned to Central Division from var- ious locations throughout the state and have several thousand hours of flight experience. The observers are all veteran road patrol officers from the Central Valley and have a vast knowledge of its geography, as well as being trained Emergency Medical Techni- cians. A review of the accomplishments during 1981 reveals several significant factors. The crews of H -40 responded to a total of 5,498 incidents, was directly responsible for 111 arrests, conducted 719 searches, including 112 for lost or overdue citizens, and made 77 medical evacuations resulting in the saving of 44 lives. The savings in dollars of lives amounted to $11,623,715. The work -hours saved to ground units amounted to 11,494. The comparison of total incidents between 3�bvfG'f.

The number of medical evacuations increased by 80 percent, and the lives saved increased threefold over 1980. Allied agencies have related that the time patterns of night burglaries have shifted con- siderably since H -40 became operational. The success of the Helicopter Program in the_ San Joaquin Valley can be attributed directly to the effective use of the program by user agencies, the rapid response time, and the high degree of training of crew members. Also, the versatility of the aircraft has sold user agencies on the value of the program. In order to familiarize peace officers with the helicopter, a Ride -Along Program has been established. Several hundred officers from various agencies have taken advantage of this opportunity to obtain a firsthand look at the operation of the Regional Program and the capabilities of the aircraft. Many people wonder what it is like to be a member of the H -40 crew. Let's take a look at a couple of days in the lives of the crew. Although the following excerpts are not a "typical" day, they are by no means uncom- mon. August 20, 1981: 5:30 A.M. —The Fresno County Narcotics Task Force requests an aerial observation for a marijuana raid near Big Creek, four or five miles north of Trimmer Springs Road. The crew waits at a remote landing site for three hours while officers from the FSD /DOJ/ DEA /US Forest Service and the FSD SWAT team attempt to locate the hidden gardens. A suspect arrives at the scene and quickly eludes the officers in the dense, brushy area. H -40 enters the area and quickly locates several gardens, two tree- houses, and three suspects; all carefully concealed. Total haul: 272 mari- juana plants from 13 gardens, and three suspects. 3:12 P.M.- Madera Sheriff's Department requests assistance in the search of the rugged Minarets Peaks in the Minarets Wilderness Area for two overdue mountain climbers. 149 (Elevation 10,000 to 12,500 feet.) The missing men were not located. August 21, 1981: 6:15 A.M.— Madera Sheriff's Department requests a medical evacuation of an ill person from Duck Lake. (Elevation 10,500 feet.) The patient complained of severe abdominal pain and inability to walk caused by an infection. H -40 transported the patient, her husband, and all their camping equipment to the Mammoth Lakes Hospital. 8:20 A.M.— Tuolumne Sheriff's Department requests assistance in locating and removing a body from the Emigrant Wilderness Area east of Sonora. The H -40 crew locates the remains in Cherry Creek but is unable to determine if it is human or animal. The remains are trans- ported back to Sonora. 2:48 P.M. —The Fresno Sheriff's Depart- ment requests assistance with the removal of the body of a 54- year -old scoutmaster from Merriam Lake. (Elevation 10,400 feet.) All signs and symptoms indicated that death was caused by pulmonary edema. 7:00 P.M.- Another request from the Fresno County Sheriff's Department, this time to medivac an injured 14- year -old hiker at a lake named The Devil's Punch Bowl in the John Muir Wilderness Area. (Elevation 10,500 feet.) A 200 -pound rock had fallen on the patient and broken his foot. The H -40 crew provided medical aid and transportation to Saint Agnes Hospital. The crew made it out of the wilder- ness area 10 to 15 minutes ahead of the ap- proaching darkness.

The department consists of Chief Galchutt, three sergeants, five patrolmen, a detective, and a juvenile officer. It maintains a seven -day, 24 -hour complaint/ communica- tions office with four full time dispatchers. A reserve force of one sergeant, nine officers and three dispatchers augments the full time personnel. This year a new dimension was added to the department. Approximately 95 students in Kingsburg High School law enforcement classes were screened to become Kingsburg police cadets. Assisted by law enforcement instructor Robert Pizzo, an eligibility list was created, and seven cadets appointed. Their position within the department is that of an internship. The cadets receive training from the department. Their assignments include records and communications work, traffic control, crime prevention awareness, and patrol "ride along." The cadets receive no salary but receive school credit. During 1981, the department has continued to progress. Personnel have continued to receive additional training in various special- ized fields of law enforcement.

It was a warm day in Feb- ruary as I sat behind my oversized desk in my undersized office wondering what to write for the Sheriff's Review. I was pulling the day watch out of metro in the heart of Huron. My name is Oscar Gongora; I carry a badge. Thinking I'm in charge, I call a staff meeting. 1511 hours, the staff arrives. Being one not to pass the buck, I lay this assignment on my staff. 1620 hours, the staff still had no ideas but we had one side of the rubic's cube done. At 1630 hours Sgt. Teutimez had a brainstorm. "Why don't we talk about the N.Y.P.U.M. program in Huron where I work with the youth 11 to 15 years old? You could say how crime has been reduced since the introduction of the program and how it continues to work in our community." I mentioned that we did that story two years ago. Of ficer Ceja mentioned how he is a scoutmaster and has developed the Boy Scout troop and Cub Scout pack with the assistance of Officer Barnhart, assistant scoutmaster. Together with the help of concerned parents and citizens, the pack and troop have flour- ished. At this time Officer Fannon states, "Don't forget the work I do." The staff look at each other and reply in unison, "10 -9 ?" Officer Fannon then explains about the self- defense class he has started for the youth of the community and also the cadet program he initiated. I decided to put an end to the egotistical atmosphere and ask for new ideas. "How about you, Malloy? Got any ideas ?" 153 • Em Left to right, back row: Chief O. Gongora, Sgt. W.

Malloy. "No, sir. I haven't had an idea since 1969." The staff then decided to give up on the rubic's cube. At 1830 hours, I noticed the dis- patchers are huddled together. I ask them what they are discussing and head dispatcher Perez asks me if they are getting overtime for this. At 1831 hours I sent them home. I can still hear Officer Fannon mumbling as he walks out the door, "Yes, Virginia, that fly speck on your map is supposed to be there ... " I suddenly realize I'm back to where I started. I decided to end this assignment and try again next year. This story you have just read is true. The names were not changed to enhance the obvious. Film at 11:00.

Fortner Chief of Police Harold Grant accepted a position as an investigator for the State Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. Captain Pat Pat- terson of Clovis P.D. filled the vacancy until a new chief could be selected. In July, William R. Mitchell, previously police chief in Astoria, Oregon, was named chief for our department. Chief Mitchell also served as police chief in Reedley for a time so he is familiar with the law enforcement needs of small communities in our area. In August, Ken Stafford, formerly a lieutenant with Reedley P.D., came to Kerman to serve as our deputy chief. Other changes in personnel have included losing Officer Sandy Jones to Fresno County District Attorney's office as an investigator, Officer Danny Horsford going to work for the Fresno State University campus police, and Officer John Crouch leaving to pursue an- other career. We gained Officer Hector Gon- gora, previously from Reedley P.D., in Octo- ber. One goal of Chief Mitchell's, already ac- complished, has been the establishment of a K -9 patrol. Deputy Chief Stafford, who is in charge of the program, is an experienced dog handler and served as master handler for Reedley P.D. Officer Hector Gongora and his partner, Shadow, were our first K -9 unit to hit the street. Senior Officer Mark Vaughan, promoted to the senior officer position in March, is in the process of getting his Dober- man Pinscher, Zeke, "street certified." The added advantage of the trained dog on patrol is limitless, from the apprehension of suspects to the added officer protection. Kerman P.D. has an active reserve force and Police Explorer program.

All officers contribute their ideas on articles and they are published in the "Kerman News."

Dur- ing the last year, the Clovis Police Depart- ment strived to improve our level of service and professional skill. With this in mind and with an eye toward improving our manage- ment styles, all sergeants and above attended a three -day Team Building Workshop, spon- sored by P.O.S.T. Personal working relation- ships and departmental goals were the focus of this seminar. The result of this exercise led to a theory of a working management team, which now meets monthly to discuss and find solutions to departmental problems. In line with the management theory, specific pro- grams were developed to meet our goal of increasing the quality of police service. One of these programs is the federally funded "Drinking Driver Enforcement Team." Two officers are specifically assigned to duties of removing the drunk driver from our city streets. During 1981 arrests for drunk driving increased by 222 percent, with a re- duction of 16 percent in injury accidents. This program has been most successful and has been lauded by the California Office of Traf- fic Safety. Another new emphasis is our "Bad Check Enforcement Program," which is a result of our cooperation with the Clovis Chamber of Commerce. Previously, our check enforce- ment duties were performed on an "as need- ed" basis. In mid -1981, a full -time officer was assigned to the detail, with an emphasis placed on restitution, as well as prosecution. This concentrated effort has returned con- 157 GERALD T. GALVIN Chief of Police siderable funds to our business community which would have previously been lost. The public relations impact of this program has been considerable. Cooperation has keynoted our efforts in the area of special enforcement. This year saw an increase from one to two officers who are as- signed to the Fresno Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET), where we work jointly with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department and the Fresno Police Department. The cooperation between these three agencies has been sub- stantially increased due to the Narcotics Enforcement Team and has resulted in num- erous narcotics arrests and large seizures of illicit drugs. This program is a fine example of how jurisdictions working together can in- crease the quality of police service to all the citizens we serve. Other programs which continue to positive- ly impact our efforts to reduce crime are: the SQUAW VALLEY INDIAN TRADING CENTER ACE -HI FEEDS GAS • GROCERIES • GIFTS *ACE/ Canyon Fork Ace Hardware Lumber — Building Materials — Sporting Goods and Licenses House Wares — Chain Saws —Sales and Service BILL AND ELEANOR DALZELL Hwy. 168 & Auberry Rd. • Prather, CA • 855 -8348 BIG B MARKET Phone 264 -4865 6201 W.

The Police- Probation Team has reached 481 juvenile offenders during the last year. The recidivism rate of those counselled by this team is minimal. Here again, we have the county probation department and the local police department working together for the common good. Our continuing Crime Prevention Program flourished during this last year with a dramatic increase in the number of "Neighborhood Watch" groups being established. We foresee a whole new era of citizen - police cooperation to ensure the safety of our homes and businesses. In 1982, we look forward to the completion of our new communications center and the automation of police services that it will bring. But, most important, we look to in- creasing cooperation between ourselves and the citizens we serve.

Robert Johnson With the ever rising crime rate among valley cities, Chief James E. Brockett de- cided that one alternative to curb the crime rate, was to establish a canine program. Chief Brockett contacted department members and inquired as to how many of the officers would devote their time and energy towards the canine program. Several officers indicated that the program would be most beneficial to the City of Selma and gave their intentions to take part in the canine unit. While Chief Brockett undertook the development of the program and its guidelines, three officers, with the chief's permission, obtained canines at their own expense, and began training with the canines on their own time. Sgt. Johnson began training in October of 1980 with the Reedley Police Department (a department which had already established itself as a canine program leader in the valley). Sgt. Nabors and Officer Guitierrez, who had obtained three - month -old puppies in August of 1980, began training with Dave Sechrest, a private trainer, in January of 1981. With the guidelines established, the canine program officially formed its first unit in June 1981. The unit consisted of Sgt. Robert John- son and "Maxx," a 90 -pound German Shep- herd; Sgt. Dean Nabors and "Max," a 70- pound German Shepherd; and Officer Mario Gutierrez and "Oso," a 70 -pound German Shepherd. In November 1981, Officer Rick Lee joined the K -9 Unit with "Major," an 80- pound German Shepherd. The trainees soon learned from their trainer, Ken Stafford, that a good canine program consists not only of i_ 161 Sgt. R. Johnson and Maxx with their trophy. training the dog, but involvement, dedication and stamina, both physical and mental. With formal training sessions being held three times a week, and individual training with each officer's respective dog, ranging from five to ten hours a week, the officers soon found that a large amount of time was spent away from their families. In addition the officers took it upon themselves to build obstacles for the dogs' proficiency training. The officers also learned that not every canine is acceptable for police work. With the stringent requirements, two dogs failed to qualify. But the handler, Mario Gutierrez, with dedication and perseverance, obtained other dogs until his latest, "Kilo," an 85 -pound BURFORD RANCH W. Mt.

Gutierrez and Major and Max and Maxx and Kilo German Shepherd, demonstrated the ability and qualities which were set forth in the guidelines established by Chief Brockett. With so much time involved with training, the officers soon learned that their home life was suffering. But, with encouragement from wives and children, the officers continued. Without the support of the K -9 handler's family, many a handler would have given up the opportunity to serve with the K -9 Unit. Since the families were so much in support of the K -9 Unit, each wife was contacted about her involvement with her husband and his dog. Each one expressed that she was very proud of her husband's work with the dog, even though he spent much of his spare time away from home. Each one felt that the end results were justified. The wives went on to say that, at home, not only is the dog cared for by his master, but the entire family joins in. Wives and children found that having the dog around the residence was very rewarding, and provided a sense of security. They felt 163 ILA Officer Gutierrez and Kilo.

Lee with Major. that they were also contributing to the welfare of their special "four- legged cop." Even at canine training sessions which family members attended, expressions were voiced. Especially the younger children felt that their "puppy" should not be treated so harshly during the agitation phase. It was hard for them to understand that this was just part of the training for the "puppies," and that they would grow up to like the agitation phase. And at home, the children were taught that they could not take their puppy down the street to see Johnny, just because Johnny was fighting with younger brother. The K -9 Unit also found that other officers within the department were willing to donate time and endure physical pain, towards the development of each dog, by attending and participating in training sessions, whether they were intending to obtain dogs in the future or not. This in itself was very rewarding to the K -9 Unit, in that they felt they had the backing of other patrol officers and that they were not going to be treated as a separate and distinct unit. 165 In July 1981, Sgt. Johnson realized the train- ing time and effort had been put to good use, when he and "Maxx" apprehended three juvenile burglary suspects, and located an adult suspect who was attempting to remove vehicle parts from a new car dealership in town. All of this was accomplished during the first two weeks that Sgt. Johnson and "Maxx" began working as a team for the City of Selma. Not only has Maxx gained the respect of local citizens, but other law enforcement agencies throughout the state by winning fourth place at the Kings River Police K -9 Trials, held in Reedley in August, where Maxx competed with 23 other canines. With three handler teams soon to become part of the Selma working force, Selma Police Depart- ment hopes to become one of the best "dog gone departments" in the valley. During the first six months Maxx was on duty for the City of Selma, he worked 672 hours. It was estimated that during this time, his hourly wage was $1.60 for the work com- pleted—a very small hourly wage for the t 9 'ROW -.. . Sgt. D. Nabors and Max.

But California's small towns can be a far cry from a peaceful Mayberry, and they can be in serious trouble with less than a professional police department. Fortunately, the POST Basic Academies put California a step ahead of most of the nation in providing qualified officers to every size agency, but the Academy is just the first step, and it's easy for an officer to falter as he tries to continue forward through the morass he faces in some small departments. Reedley Police Department faces many of the problems common to small departments, but some of them can be smoothed over with the right medicine. A good dose of training eases many ills, and the administration at Reedley has long put an emphasis on training. While it is easy for a small department to feel it cannot afford the time and money for train- ing, the truth is it can't afford not to train. Reedley Police Department recognizes that an active training program is valuable in many ways. First, of course, is the improved job performance of a well trained officer. Then there is the citizen support and confidence that results from professional performance. And there's no way we can overlook civil liability. A job done right is less susceptible to lawsuit, and the records that document the training can be a shield against vicarious liability. Then, too, there is officer retention and morale. A department offering schools and good training can attract and keep the higher quality officer. The well trained, quality 167 An in- service training class in progress. Training is an ongoing requirement. officer can do a better job, and we're back to point one. At Reedley, the emphasis on training and education begin at hiring, with the last two officers hired having bachelor's degrees. But that's just the beginning. The schooling goes on from there. Several Reedley officers have at least five POST accredited schools of one week or longer, and some have attended ten or more advanced schools and seminars. Every officer in the department attends the CSTI Officer Survival school and the Traffic Accident Investigation course. Other schools include Balm-Fair's Crime Scene Investiga- tion, Research and Planning, Crime Preven- tion Institute, weapons schools, and special- ized schools for the dog handlers, supervisors, detective, juvenile officer, and others. Of special value are the instructor courses such as range master, unarmed defense in- structor, and field training officer. School trained, certified FTO's are still a rarity in small departments, and the four certified FTO's at Reedley are really unusual. These instructors are part of the Department level in- service training that takes up where the schools and the new officers' field training periods leave off. Certainly it costs money and tune to train, but the expense to the department can be minimized. Where there's a will, there's a way. For example, the fine patrol dog program GAMBER HOMES NEW HOMES & REMODELING 299 -0101 or 299 -8332 Clovis SANDWICH SHOP 486 -8097 ?640 W. ANDREWS - RESNO, CA 93705 .: requires at least three hours per week per K -9 officer for training on department time. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. For each officer puts in at least twice as much time off duty as on duty training and working with his dog. Here department expense is minimized by dedication to the job. The weapons training program is another example. Each regular and reserve officer must qualify with his handgun once a month, and this does run into time and money. Of course, not nearly as much as the price paid for a stray bullet or unprepared officer. But even here costs are cut by generous use of .22 caliber weapons to learn basics, saving the full power equipment to polish up the fine points. Also, plastic bullets fired from shotgun adapt- ers open new doors to training with the shotgun, and at an unbelievably low cost. Where there's a will, there is a way, and at Reedley there is a will to train. It is worth money and time, and what money and time won't take care of, improvisation will. Man for man, the officer at Reedley is as well trained as any officer in almost any small department in the state. For that matter, he may not be far behind many large depart- ments, because big city or small, crime is crime, people are people, and law is law; and a lawman can't afford not to train. G. J.

HERNDON CLOVIS The Case of the Kidnapped Cookie Monster It wasn't the biggest case of the year, the most exciting, or the most difficult investiga- tion. In terms of public interest, media cover- age, and mutual satisfaction at its successful conclusion by victims and investigators, it ranked pretty high. It was a petty theft, the item stolen an eight - foot tall plywood replica of the Cookie Mon- ster of television fame. It was part of the Christmas Tree Lane display at the Reid resi- dence on North Van Ness. On Saturday morn- ing, December 19, Mrs. Reid called to report the monster had disappeared sometime dur- ing the night. The Reid children were heart- broken. Detectives Dick Guthrie and Tommy Kerns, who usually work misdemeanor fol- low -ups, were assigned to the case, although it didn't appear much could be done in the way of investigation. There was no physical evi- dence; the thief had merely picked up the figure and walked away, leaving not even a footprint. The officers realized that without a lucky break, the case wasn't likely to be solved. The media cooperated by giving the theft a great deal of attention, and the only hope was that someone with knowledge of the monster's whereabouts would come for- ward. The break came just two days later, on Monday, December 21. An anonymous caller informed the dispatcher who answered the phone that the Cookie Monster had been seen in the office of a local bowling alley em- ployee. The officers hurried to check, and found their quarry .leaning against the wall behind the employee's desk. The employee, Robbie Tanaka, was in 171 Detectives Tommy Kerns and Dick Guthrie with the rescued kidnap victim. charge of junior bowling at the establishment, and had been nicknamed "Cookie Monster" by some of the young bowlers.

Two youngsters in the bowling pro- gram had presented the figure to Tanaka on Saturday. Sunday evening he had seen a tele- vision news story of the theft from Christmas Tree Lane, and realized he no doubt had the stolen Cookie Monster on his hands. He had planned to call the Sheriff's Department and report the matter Monday morning, but of- ficers arrived before he had a chance to do so.

By Joe Bull At the beginning of the year (1981), I was asked by two Sheriff's Department employ- ees about possibly starting a women's fast pitch softball team. I advised them that sign - ups for city league softball divisions were probably already completed. Well, Chris Miller and Lujuana Haro decided to check into the details, and advised me there was still time to get a team together. The biggest problem would be getting a sponsor to support the team financially. - The girls asked me to coach the team and they would work on getting a sponsor. I reluc- tantly agreed to coach, knowing pretty well they couldn't find a sponsor in the time allowed. The next few weeks I set out looking for players (anybody), and called around trying to find equipment for practice. I found about fifteen girls to try out for positions. One of the girls arriving for practice was Donna Blohm, Deputy Joe Blohm's better half. I convinced Donna to have Joe come out and watch practice. During the first session of practice, the unseen "players" showed up for their and my debut. I introduced Joe Blohm as my assistant coach, much to Joe's surprise. Following the introduction, Joe and I worked with the girls, attempting to design a team with no sponsor, not much experience, and two inexperienced coaches. Things got off to a bad start when I told the girls to take the field and go to the position of thier choice. This I felt was a good tactic, enabling me to see which position was each player's preference. I looked on the field and saw one person at shortstop, and fourteen players standing on first base. Joe and I knew 173 we were going to have a tough job ahead. Well, as practices went by, twice a week, the team looked better and more organized. Joe and I rearranged the girls into positions that benefited the team the most. Chris Miller and Lujuana Haro advised me that softball fees were due in a week and a half, and they didn't have a sponsor. Threat of losing the team after hard practices seemed more likely. Lujuana, working Watch I Patrol in dis- patch, contacted the Watch Commander, Lt. Richard White, about a possible sponsorship. After Lujuana explained the team's situation, Lt. White, president of the Relief Association, offered to approach the board members for their approval. Lt. White contacted Lujuana shortly there- after, giving us the go ahead signal and a check for $500, to represent us as our sponsor. If it wasn't for the quick action by Richard White, the team never would have existed. Practices continued, and with Joe Blohm doing an excellent job as assistant coach, we were preparing for our first practice game. The girls chose their uniforms, yellow, white and royal blue tops with blue lettering, wo a ag + - -- Iwo 7`: "F.C.S.D.R.A.," in honor of our sponsor, yellow baseball caps and royal blue shorts with white trim. The name of the team was SPECIAL LADIES (please don't ask me why). This was a first year team with players and coaches alike attempting to put together a good representation of the Sheriff's Depart- ment.

The girls fought a tough battle in the first three practice games. After playing those three games where we finished 0 wins and 3 losses, our egos were anything but inflated and we had 12 league games to follow.

The team went all the way to the last game, playing for the league championship, losing a heartbreaker, 8 to 6. It was a great season, with Coach Blohm and myself very proud of all team members. The team had a sports banquet, celebrating a fine season. Joe Blohm and I presented trophies to five team members for outstand- ing individual effort. Donna Blohm won the Best Offensive Player award, having the top batting average. Chris Miller won the Most Improved Player award. Lujuana Haro took 1 the Best Defensive award. Deda Anderson 1 was awarded the Most Inspirational award, and Cheryl Mongelli was given the True Grit award. The decision of who received trophies was made by the team at the end of the year.

Blackstone 439 -4231 The Fresno County Peace Officers Association A Changing Organization By Ken Abell In 1936 the San Joaquin Valley Peace Officers Association was founded. This or- ganization was the first attempt of peace officers in this part of Cahfornia to get together for the mutual benefit of the law enforcement profession. Membership was enthusiastic and growing. So much so, in fact, that within a few short years the membership was so large and spread out that the decision was made to break up the organization into county associ- ations. This move proved to be wise for the times. The newly- formed Fresno County Peace Officers Association became very ac- tive with nearly all peace officers in Fresno County holding membership. In the late 1960s the movement to organize peace officers for negotiation of wages and benefits began. This movement reached its peak with the passage of the MMB Act by the State Legislature. This Act promoted the establishment of peace officer organizations within individual departments. Again, peace officers in Fresno County were enthusiastic about moving in this new direction. But this movement also promoted the polarization of the local peace officers and resulted in the reduction of membership and interest in the county association. By the mid -70s member- ship reached a low of about 250 members. In 1980 and '81 the Board of the Fresno County Peace Officers Association under- took a review of our objectives. It was de- cided that the board plan changes in the organization of the governing board to facili- tate greater representation by more depart- 179 ments. Also needed was a change of member- ship classification to bring us in line with changes in state law regarding peace officer organizations and definitions of various types of peace officer personnel. At the same time, we found a need to increase the dues amount. At the November 1981 general membership meeting, the above proposals were presented by the board to the members. All three pro- posals passed by ballot vote. Under the new re- organization, the govern- ing board of the association is made up of a five - member executive board and a ten - member advisory board. In addition, other members serve on various committees to work on special projects and to monitor various functions. This new organization of management helps to assure that more law enforcement organizations county -wide are represented in the association. The reorganization of membership classifi- cation was made to insure that not more than 10 percent of our membership fell into that group not made up of full -time, fully -paid law enforcement officers as defined by various sections of the Penal Code. To insure that those members in those classifications (who can not hold officer or vote) are fairly repre- sented, two positions on the advisory board are designated for one retired member and one associate member, both of whom have voting rights the same as other board mem- bers. At present, the Fresno County Peace Of- ficers Association is proceeding with the final work on our new social hall.

Fountain Way Fresno, CA 93727 291 -2576 Deputy [ reaching Pants Ask Fo Joyce O Christmas Parties Retirement parties are also now usually arranged by the unit in which the retiree works; some at the office, some in a more formal setting. The belly dancer's performance, arranged by fellow employees for Chuck's last day on the job, was intended to arouse certain feelings that would remind him that he need not feel old just because he is retiring. From the expression on his face, we'd say the attempt was overwhelmingly successful. Among the already retired officers attending were Don Hoff and his wife Elsie, left foreground, Quinto Merlo, behind Mrs. Hoff, and Art Tabler, right fore- ground. 187 On arrival at the formal party, wife Mary seems pleased at Chuck's impending retirement, but he appears a bit doubtful. Whatever Ralph Mauldin, right, is saying has Sheriff McKinney's attention, but the guest of honor must have heard the story before. Perhaps he was expect- ing another belly dancer.
