This format for news is working better than the old one. I am migrating all of my years of work together with a couple of other professionals...that's at bobshannon.org. I do not know where Google is headed but we get a number of readers that we hadn't before demographically speaking. Also it allows me to use larger pictures (they are not printable due to dpi or dots per inch) and it gives me history which we never had before.

WASHINGTON — The Northwest is no stranger to earthquakes. The Nisqually quake in 2001 was one of the largest in state history, measuring 6.8 on the magnitude scale and lasting 45 seconds. About 400 people were hurt, and one person died of a heart attack. Buildings in Olympia, Sea-Tac Airport, and across Western Washington were damaged.
Now, there’s a new app to get you prepared if another earthquake strikes our area. It’s called the Earthquake Notification App by the Red Cross. You’ll get alerts and notifications when an earthquake happens. You’ll also be able to find help and let others know you are safe, even if the power’s out. There are also tips on how to prepare your family and home.
From your mobile phone, call **REDCROSS or **73327677 and they’ll send you a link to download the quake alert app to your iPhone or Android device. You can also download them directly from iTunes or Google Play app stores.

On 10-19-13 at approximately 10:26 PM, Deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a domestic disturbance at a residence in the 46000 block of Fish Rock Road in Gualala. A witness had reported seeing fifty-one year-old Michael J. Sahl, grab his forty-four year-old cohabitant girlfriend by the neck and choke her. He also punched her in the head one time with a closed fist according to the witness.
Sheriff's Deputies made entry into the residence to check the welfare of the female victim. When they failed to find her in the home, they searched outside and found her in an apartment above the garage where she had gone to escape the suspect. The frightened woman climbed out onto the roof to get to the deputies.
The victim denied that Sahl had punched or choked her, despite visible swelling and small lacerations above her left eye consistent with a blow from a fist as described by the witness. She stated that Sahl grabbed her by her arm, forcing her to walk into the house and telling her that he would have killed her if the witness had not been present.
Deputies sought, and were granted, an Emergency Protective Order for the victim. Sahl was arrested for domestic violence, criminal threats and false imprisonment, along with two misdemeanor arrest warrants. He was transported to the Mendocino County Jail where he was lodged with bail set at $30,000.00.
