Hello all, Several people have asked me to send them suggested text for their messages to Assemblymember Maze. The following is what I have drafted. If you have had an experience with cemetery vandalism, it would be nice to say something about that also. Thank you! Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves TEXT FOLLOWS: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: AB 207 - SUPPORT The Honorable Bill Maze California State Assembly State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: SB 207 - SUPPORT Dear Assemblymember Maze: I was notified by California Saving Graves that you have introduced SB 207 to amend Penal Code Section 594.35 to strengthen punishment of those who would vandalize military veterans grave marker and monuments. Thank you for taking the time to address this issue which relates to cemetery vandalism in California. Please add my name to the list of those people or organizations as being in SUPPORT of AB 207. Respectfully, NAME ADDRESS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please send to: Assemblymember.maze@assembly.ca.gov

Dear Cemetery Friends, Good News! Assemblymember Bill Maze (34th Assembly District, serving Visalia, Tulare, Porterville, Barstow, Lindsay, Exeter, Farmersville, California City, Independence, Lone Pine) has introduced AB 207 to amend Penal Code Section 594.35 to include additional protection and punishment for vandalism of military veteran's grave markers and monuments. His idea for this legislation seems to have come about after heavy vandalism occurred at the Exeter Cemetery in his district. We commend Assemblymember Maze for this legislation and would ask that you send emails to him in SUPPORT of AB 207. Please send your emails under the Subject "AB 207 - SUPPORT" to Assemblymember Maze at: assemblymember.maze@assembly.ca.gov. Be sure to include your name and mailing address. To read the Amended Text of this Bill, go to: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_0201-0250/ab_207_bill_20030319_amended_asm.html To check on other pending cemetery legislation, go to http://www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/acsframeset2text.htm and search on the word CEMETERY. When you are at the screen for a specific bill, there is also a COMMENT link that allows you to comment while at that website. Thank you for your help in promoting further protections for our historic cemeteries and the "residents" within them. Sincerely, Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves Email: ssilver1951@jps.net

WE NEED YOUR HELP! SB 341 is moving toward a hearing on April 2nd before the bill's author, the Senate Committee on Local Government. We need you to support our request that the Committee delete the proposed Section 9055 from this bill to prevent the sale or conveyance of our historic public cemeteries to private cemetery authorities. I have placed a message on the El Dorado County Saving Graves website regarding this issue. Please see this message at: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ca/county/eldorado/Sec_9055_public_cemetery_district_law__se.htm For recommended text for your message, go to: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ca/county/eldorado/Sec_9055_text_for_your_messag.htm. These can be emailed to the Committee's consultant, Peter Detwiler at Peter.Detwiler@SEN.CA.GOV. We have a chance to ensure our public cemeteries remain public cemeteries. PLEASE HELP US PRESERVE OUR HISTORIC CALIFORNIA PUBLIC CEMETERIES IN PUBLIC OWNERSHIP! But you need to ACT NOW! TO THOSE WHO ALREADY SENT EMAILS - The Committee's consultant sent a message to another opponent of the proposed Section 9055 stating the following: "The Committee's format doesn't distinguish among shades of support or opposition. We list respondents as either "support" or "oppose." Everyone else who wrote to the Committee with a "qualified support" position will show up on the bill analysis in the "support" column. A few folks, like yourself, have asked us to move them to the "oppose" column and we'll do that." If you have previously sent an email to the Committee under "Qualified SUPPORT", please send a message stating you OPPOSE SB 341. (You may use the recommended text link above.) Anyone who has a question may contact me direct. Thank you! Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves ssilver1951@jps.net

Thanks for the information. I checked and she is not there so I assume she is still alive - or perhaps moved from CA.

Hello everyone, I just received a list of people and organizations who have so far written in support or opposition to SB 341 which I sent out to you last week. THANK YOU to all who responded in opposing Sec. 9055 of the Bill that would allow a public cemetery district to sell it's public cemetery to a private cemetery authority. I also checked the old Legislative Record on when the original section was written in 1961. Usually a law is written to meet a specific need. In this case I expected to find that one public cemetery district needed help so the law might have been written just for that specific district. What I found was that the Bill's author in 1961 told the Governor it would help reduce taxes(!). AND, the only organization mentioned who formally Supported the original bill was the Interment Association of California which is comprised of cemetery industry companies and organizations! Not one cemetery district was listed as having written to support the bill. To me this says a lot. It says the private cemetery operators were trying to figure out how to get ownership of public cemeteries when prior to that such a transfer was not authorized by law! If there is anyone else who is interested in knowing how to voice your opposition to this Bill unless Sec. 9055 is dropped so district's cannot give away our public cemeteries, please contact me direct. Again, THANKS to EVERYONE who sent emails to the Senate Local Government Committee on this issue. With email and the internet, we do have a voice!

Hello again: I am resending this with the following message: Apparently they only record people who SUPPORT or OPPOSE a bill. Therefore, if you have sent an email under SUBJECT: SB 341 - QUALIFIED Support, you will need to re-send it under OPPOSE, with the explanation that you would support the bill if the public cemetery districts were not allowed to sell their cemeteries when they become full. This is a learning process to me. Thank you for your patience. And THANKS to everyone who has already sent an email as a result of my original request (below). They have definitely been received! (I will be resending MY original email to the committee after sending this.) Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves Email: ssilver1951@jps.net Website: www.usgennet.org/usa/ca/state/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Sue Silver To: Cemetery Friends Cc: William Spurlock ; CA Historic Cem Alliance Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 6:38 AM Subject: California Legislation - Public Cemetery District Law Greetings: The California Senate Local Government Committee has introduced Senate Bill 341 (SB 341) to update and reform Public Cemetery District law (currently Health and Safety Code beginning at section 8890). Last Fall I served as an advisor to the Working Group which reviewed the present code and made it's recommendations for changes. At that time I asked the group to consider repealing the present section which allows the districts to sell their public cemeteries to private cemetery authorities. Some in the group stated that when the district's cemeteries became filled to capacity, it was not viable for the districts to continue to maintain them since they were no longer self-supporting (generating revenues). They maintain that private cemetery authorities are able to construct mausoleums and columbarium (for cremated remains) where the districts are prohibited from those activities. My greatest concern is that the vast majority of the cemeteries owned and operated by the public cemetery districts are among California's earliest and most historic cemeteries. In fact, they may be public cemeteries to which the people (public) acquired legal title through operation of law as provided in former Political Code section 3105 (Stats. 1872), now Health and Safety Code section 8126. It is my opinion that these historic cemeteries are a part of the state's cultural and historical heritage. Within them rest California's earliest citizen's and pioneers. These cemeteries were intended to belong to the people - not to private corporations who have little or no regard for anything but the money that can be earned off such places. In 1995, an Assembly subcommittee investigated the private cemetery industry in California and reported that there was a crisis throughout the state. This circumstance has not changed since that time. The Cemetery and Funeral Bureau of the Dept. of Consumer Affairs cannot keep up with the present case load of citizen's complaints on cemeteries and has only this year been instructed to begin inspecting the roughly 200 privately operated cemeteries in California. At last count, the state had two inspectors - one for northern and one for southern California. Neither cities nor counties are authorized to sell their public cemeteries. I do not believe public cemetery district's should be allowed to dispose of the public's property as they have been and will continue to be authorized to under SB 341. The district public cemeteries are supported by tax appropriations. The taxpayers have a right to expect that those tax dollars are not being spent to support a public property that will eventually end up in private ownership. Especially a place as sensitive as an historic place of burial. I am asking those who agree with this position to send an email to the Senate Local Government Committee asking that Section 9055 (see text below) be dropped from SB 341, in order to preserve the public's interest in these historic cemeteries. Please address your messages to Senator Tom Torlakson, Chair, and email them to Peter M. Detwiler, the committee's consultant at Peter.Detwiler@SEN.CA.GOV. The following is my suggested text for your messages: "SUBJECT: SB 341 - QUALIFIED Support Senator Tom Torlakson, Chair Senate Local Government Committee Dear Senator Torlakson and Honorable Committee Members: With the exception of the proposed SECTION 9055 related to authorizing public cemetery district's to sell (convey) their public cemeteries to private ownership, I would support the enactment of SB 341.
