Calif. fails to screen substance abuse counselors SACRAMENTO (AP) — The investigative arm of the state Senate reported Monday that it found nearly two dozen registered sex offenders serving as substance abuse counselors in California, which lacks procedures to screen them out. California and Pennsylvania are the only ones among the nation's 15 most populous states that conduct no criminal background checks on drug and alcohol counselors, the Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes said in a report. The other states check counselors' fingerprints against criminal records or require applicants to report their own backgrounds, with penalties if they lie. The oversight office found 23 registered sex offenders when it crosschecked the state's sex offender registry against a sampling of counselors with unusual names. The actual number of sex offenders among the state's 36,000 registered or certified substance abuse counselors ''is undoubtedly much higher.''

We congratulate all of our graduates and certificate recipients on this outstanding educational achievement. HOMICIDE Continued from page 1A doned pickup truck the next day near Petrolia, about 200 miles west of the home that Miller shared with his wife, Sandy, 34, and daughters, Shelby, 8, and Shasta, 5. But they have found no traces of him. ''We're going up and down the area trying to figure out where he may have disappeared to,'' Humboldt County Sheriff's Lt. Wayne Hanson said Monday. They've extensively searched the area where Miller's vehicle was found, Hanson said. Foot and air patrols including SWAT teams from various counties and U.S. Marshals will continue to canvass the area, he added. The ground searches will also include door-to-door searches of residences in the area, the lieutenant said. Roadblocks will be maintained on main roads from Petrolia to Ferndale. Hanson said that's to protect residents if Miller tries to leave the area. Meanwhile, about 100 people attended a community meeting on Sunday. Lieutenants from Humboldt and Shasta counties told the audience that an old acquaintance positively identified Miller as arriving in the area on Wednesday in the truck that was later found abandoned, Hanson said. The longtime acquaintance told officers that Miller did not appear to be angry or hostile. Also during the meeting, Hanson said officials confirmed that a note written by Miller was found in the abandoned truck. Hanson could not provide further details on the contents of the note, but said if any of Miller's family members were mentioned, they would have been immediately notified by the authorities. As schools reopened on Monday, authorities are asking people to be cautious in their daily activities and to lock their doors at night. ''Right now, we're residents to remain on alert and not to investigate anything themselves,'' Hanson said. ''That's what we're here for.''
