Eight ST. HELENA STAR, ST. HELENA, NAPA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Thursday, September 22, 1966 Yountville News Joe Jiambetti, a veteran at the Yountville Home, passed away in the Home a few days ago. His sister had his body shipped to New York. Mr.
Jiambetti was a tailor by trade. Margaret Shouldis, Margaret Jennings and Jerry Hickman had dinner at the El Real in Rutherford a few days ago. Everyone had a good time and a delicious dinner. Virgil Bonsey, of the Castle Club, had a birthday recently. (I I don't know if I'm supposed to tell how many days young he was), but may it be said that he does a great job of holding his age.
His friends offer congratulations and wish him many, many more. Johnny Haddox also had a birthday, and of course those of us who know Johnny, wish him the same well wishes. Jim Ronan, former member of the Veterans Home is in Livermore Hospital hoping be released later this month. He was a recent visitor in Yountville for four days. Vi's Cafe in Yountville has installed a shuffle board, making it the third board in town.
The other two are at the Two Spot and Sportsman's Club. Charlie Richardson, Virgil Bonsey, John and Jim Starkey are all going deer hunting in a few days near the Grass Valley area where Charlie is well known.

A fire of undetermined cause started in the attic of 72-year old Linda M.
See's residence on Oak Knoll and Big Ranch Road Monday evening about 5 p.m. The home that burned had been a big twostory family estate since 1919. It included five bedrooms upstairs with two baths, and six rooms downstairs with a full attic. Practically all the old antique furnishings were destroyed along with the house. Divisions called out to battle the blaze included Napa State Hospital, Napa City Fire Rutherford Volunteer Fire and forestry trucks from Yountville, St.
Helena and Napa. Two firemen were hurt slightly. Bill Boling stepped on a nail and Gary Vogel was cut on the arm. All in all it was a sad sight to see an old landmark gutted so violently as to have to be torn down.

A speech, made by Robert Gorman of the Chamber of Commerce was called to the attention of your reporter. This, in brief, is what he said: "The Improvement Club is just another name for a of Commerce, that the Chamber of Commerce is generally supported by businessmen who wish a job done that he cannot do alone. He said that fast growth of an area isn't always good.
The main project, he stated, is for people to work together and to forget petty differences. Work out a program for a goal and stick to it for a year and see what develops, Gorman suggested. As of now there is no set program. Form a central agency for improvement for community. The three things that keep any Chamber of Commerce going is manpower, money, and mutual respect.
Gorman also said that in his opinion the City of Yountville should have a city map with streets, parks, schools and points of interest shown, so that anyone interested could readily see what was available in town for further development. Allen Dean of the Veterans Home and his wife, the former Dorothy Munden, formerly employed in the Veterans Home Coffee Shop, are in the process of moving to San Pedro, where Allen has been offered a very good job. In an interview with Dewey Barnett and his charming wife, Shirley, and their two adorable and very "un-bashful" boys, Ray and Kevin Lee on Yount Mill Road, the talk was mostly of drag racing. Dewey, 27, has won between 30 and 40 trophies in just about a year and a half of drag racing, some in local competition at Vaca Valley Drag Strip in Vacaville, others in Fremont and Half Moon Bay. Dewey, who is originally from South Carolina, has been in California about five years.
His wife, Shirley, is a native daughter of Napa. They are in the process of purchasing the home on Yount Mill Road where they have been about two months and where they are busily trying to form a drag racing club. Dewey is looking for racing bugs 18 and up who like the sport for what it is, not to settle quarrels and spites; people who like fast driving that are now endangering the lives of others by "lead-footing" it on the highways. The club will let kids join at 16 to get the fundamentals of driving in the races. Anyone who is interested in a small gettogether can call me at 944-2478 to find out more details.

Cal-Vets Beat Geno Benedetti to End Diamond Season at Home The Cal-Vets ended their long season at the Veterans Home Sunday by defeating the tough Geno Beneditti outfit, 6-5, and thereupon hung up their spikes for the 1966 season.
Their record was 20 wins and four losses, a tally the Giants would envy. The final game was one of the toughest, with Cal-Vets coming from behind to overcome a substantial lead by the visitors. The score was still 6-5 at the end of the 8th, but Russ Obey on the mound, with the help of sharp fielding of his teammates, spoiled a small rally, and the season ended with an out at second. Borman Field at the Home, saw a lot of baseball, some 79 games, since the season started in April. One of the of the year was the American Legion statewide tournament, which sent the Oakland Post to the regionals then to the finals in North Carolina where Oakland again won.
Thus the Oakland boys topped the nation in the big American Legion baseball program, and St. Helenans who saw the Oakland Post in action, have seen the finest young players in the United States. Zumwalt Ford presented plaques to the winner and runner-up, in the tournament, held in August, and as it turned out, the plaque now joins a host of other trophies won by the East Bay youngsters.
