12 The NAPA REGISTER 1984 Napa Valley news briefs Tuesday, April 17, Tt Ji 1., 'Xf June will participate. Candidates will be given 15 minutes to outline their programs and platforms, followed by 30 minutes of questions and answers from the audience. trr fow ii i-v Restaurant' receipts taken The apparent theft of $400 from a Soscol Avenue restaurant bank bag sometime Sunday night is being investigated by Sheriffs deputies today. The theft of receipts from Seasons restaurant was reported Monday morning. It is believed the money was taken sometime after closing on Sunday.

There was no sign of forced entry into the office where the money was kept. Deputies are still gathering statements from restaurant employees. The Farm Bureau said Goetting's service to the community, both as news editor for KVON and K-99 and as a trustee on the Napa Valley Unified School District Board has more than prepared him for the role, Eichner said. "His belief that agriculture is an industry that should not be undermined is admirable. Jay has cited a need to educate the community on the importance and aesthetic value of the agricultural industry.

He understands that the need to diversify is being over emphasized and that agriculture is a clean industry that contributes more than its fair share to the tax base without demanding a lot of county services. Goetting is seeking the Fifth District supervisoral seat. Goetting names co-chairman Napa City Councilman Dr. David Crawford has been named co-chairman for the Committee to Elect Jay Goetting. Goetting, who is seeking the Fifth District supervisoral seat in the June 5 election, cited Crawfords role as a moderating force on the city council.

As supervisor, said Goetting, I envision myself in a similar posture. The 41-year-old candidate also said the two think similarly on major issues affecting the future of Napa County, adding, this makes Daves support particularly valuable. Goetting cited their commitment to government cooperation, and also the need for controlled growth keyed to urban areas. Crawford, a Kaiser-Permanente physician, said, I think Jay will bring a fresh and needed approach to logical government. He represents what I hear the people saying they want." Goetting presently serves as a trustee for the Napa Valley Unified School District.

He is new director for KVON andK-99 Hadio in Napa. Haase hosting coffee Chief Deputy District Attorney William Haase, who is a candidate for a Napa Municipal Court seat, has scheduled a coffee for Wednesday evening for voters to meet the candidate. The coffee will be held at 4110 Pinot Drive in Napa at 7:30 p.m. More information is available by telephoning 257-0400 or 257-6373. Haase, a prosecutor for the past 15 years, is seeking the Municipal Court seat now held by Judge Scott Snowden, who is running for Superior Court judge.

I. sr. fti- Napa Valley firecalls NAPA FIRE DEPARTMENT MONDAY 4:58 p.m. Fire in a 1959 Chevrolet El Camino on Highway 221, north of Kaiser Road. Caused by a cigarette burn on the front seat.

About $100 damage. One engine and three firefighters responded. Owners name not available.

The building is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Farm Bureau endorsements Candidates Kathleen McCullough, Vic Fershko and Jay Goetting have received the endorsement of the Napa County Farm Bureau in their bids to unseat incumbents on the Napa County Board of Supervisors. McCullough is seeking the District Two seat on the board. Kathleen has shown that she is an advocate of Napa County agriculture.

She has spoken out at numerous public hearings on projects which would have a direct impact on agriculture, Eichner said. She fully supports the new general plan and we feel she will do her best to implement its goals effectively. McCullough has served as Mayor of Yountville the past two years. Eichner said Fershko has proven a true commitment to the preservation of agriculture by representing the Mid-Valley Alliance and the Napa County Farm Bureau in its recent lawsuit against the county over the now adequate general plan. Fershkos term as a planning commissioner and his authorship of Measure the slow growth initiative, were also cited as reasons for the endorsement.

He is seeking the District Four supervisoral seat. Barbershoppers' open house A free barbershop quartet open house has been scheduled for Wednesday night featuring the San Francisco Storm Door and Whale Oil Co. and several other quartets. The event will be held at the St. Apollinaris Catholic Church, 3700 Lassen at 8 p.m.
