YOUR VOICE Let’s be water conscious EDITOR, On my morning walk every day, I pass by several city parks in Patterson. Believe it or not, the sprinklers are on, and not just for a few minutes. Water is running down the street like there is no tomorrow. It runs into the storm drains. It runs onto the street where nothing is going to grow. Perhaps the city should look into this matter and make sure that water is not wasted. After all, this is a drought season, according to our governor. I recently received a notice from the city stating that I should water every other day. As I was coming home around 11:30 p.m. one night recently, the sprinklers along Sperry Avenue were on and the water was running down the street like the flood gates had been opened. Let’s all be water conscious, including our city managers. Theo Alberts, Patterson PATTERSON'S PAST 25 years ago — July 28, 1983 Patterson physician Peter La Torre purchases tickets to just about every event in Patterson and claims never to have won anything. Thus, he was surprised this week when the Patterson Boy Scouts announced him the winner of a grocery shopping spree at Klein’s Super Save. Pattersonite Hugh Loranger, 89, remembers the days of the nickel beer and his association with the late heavyweight boxer Jack Dempsey. Residents of the San Antone Valley west of Patterson over into Santa Clara County have telephone service for the very first time. Evans Telephone Co. is providing service to 108 subscribers. Assemblyman John Thurman has died of a heart attack at age 63. 50 years ago — July 24, 1958 The City Council has adopted a budget of $134,000 for the 1958-59 fiscal year. The Del Puerto Hospital District has agreed to pay Kenneth Riggs of Modesto $75 a month to provide full-time ambulance service on the West Side. Riggs will handle his own billing and collections, with hospital lab technician Joe Barnes answering the calls in a locally based vehicle. Mail rates will go up a penny Aug. 1. Letters mailed to a local destination will go up to 3 cents, while out-of-town letters will go to 4 cents. The Westley Firemen have repeated as Little League tournament champs, besting the Patterson Lions 9-6 in the championship. Billy Wheeland of the Lions was named MVP. 75 years ago — July 28, 1933 The mercury climbed to 108 degrees on both Wednesday and Thursday, a high mark for the season. The water level in the San Joaquin River has shrunk to no more than 6 inches in places. An unprecedented tax sale of more than 800 vacant Patterson lots is scheduled for Aug. 21. Most belong to Patterson Ranch Co., which is delinquent on tax payments. They vary in size from 25-by-50-foot residential lots to several acres.
