persons and other skele- tal remains recovered up- stream, but no matches have been made. The boot has been identified as a Brahma brand, men's size 9.5. The label inside the boot is printed with "Alpha," "ASTMF2413-05," and "2590418." Detectives and the boot manufacturer are attempting to trace the numbers in an effort to learn where the boot was sold, a Glenn County Sheriff's Press release said. A Critical Reach flyer has been sent out to other law enforcement agencies asking for any possible missing person matches. At this time it is not determinable how long the remains may have been in the river. Further examination of the remains are being conducted in an effort to gain additional forensic information. DNA samples will be extracted and run against databases. Anyone with additional information regarding this case is asked to call Detective Kelly Knight at the Glenn County Sheriff's Office at (530) 934-6721.

DEATH NOTICES The state, in its argument for a preliminary injunction that is set to be heard Monday, opposes a shut down of the casino just off Interstate 5, saying the court "should enter the least intrusive and most neutral order that maintains the status quo and continues to protect the public health, safety, and welfare." It added that shutting down the casino "is unnecessary and potentially harmful particularly when the (temporary restraining order) has defused, and quelled, a volatile situation." Ousted members led by tribal Vice Chairman David Swearinger, treasurer Leslie Lohse, secretary Geraldine Freeman and member-at-large Allen Swearinger have previously said that shutting down the casino would bring a speedy resolution to the tribal dispute. Members of the tribe led by Chairman Andrew Freeman, Vice Chairwoman Latisha Miller, treasurer Ambrosia Rico, secretary Andrew Alejandre and member- at-large Natasha Magana argue that shutting down the casino would put its employees out of work and "devastate the local economy," according to the state's preliminary injunction request filed Monday. T he prelimina r y injunction request seeks to keep the casino operating as it currently does, and keep firearms and armed personnel away from the tribe's properties. Casino FROM PAGE 1 By Garance Burke The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Through- out California's desperately dry Central Valley, those with water to spare are cashing in. As a third parched sum- mer forces farmers to fal- low fields and lay off work- ers, two water districts and a pair of landowners in the heart of the state's farmland are making mil- lions of dollars by auc- tioning off their private caches. Nearly 40 others also are seeking to sell their surplus water this year, ac- cording to state and fed- eral records. Economists say it's been decades since the water market has been this hot. In the past five years alone, the price has grown ten- fold to as much as $2,200 an acre-foot — enough to cover a football field with a foot of water. Unlike the previous drought in 2009, the state has been hands-off, letting the market set the price even though severe short- ages prompted a statewide drought emergency decla- ration this year. The price spike comes af- ter repeated calls from sci- entists that global warm- ing will worsen droughts and increase the cost of maintaining California's strained water supply sys- tems. Some water economists have called for more reg- ulations to keep aquifers from being depleted and ensure the market is not subject to manipulation such as that seen in the energy crisis of summer 2001, when the state was besieged by rolling black- outs. "If you have a really scarce natural resource that the state's economy depends on, it would be nice to have it run effi- ciently and transparently," said Richard Howitt, pro- fessor emeritus at the Uni- versity of California, Davis. Private water sales are becoming more common in states that have been hit by drought, including Texas and Colorado. In California, the sell- ers include those who hold claims on water that date back a century, private firms who are extracting groundwater and landown- ers who stored water when it was plentiful in under- ground caverns known as water banks. "This year the market is unbelievable," said Thomas Grecie, the general man- ager of the Madera Irri- gation District, which re- cently made nearly $7 mil- lion from selling about 3,200 acre-feet. "And this is a way to pay our bills." CALIFORNIA Water fetches record prices THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A horse grazes at a ranch near Merced County where water is fetching record high prices.

I knew all the time they were more or less "arranged." One reason being that no matter if the question was easy enough for a first grader to answer, the contestant still appeared to go through the same agonizing efforts to think before answering. I enjoyed watching them more than a continued run of cowboys and Indians. …. Did you know if you approach one of the newer installations of traffic signal lights, and there is no traffic going in the other directions, you can run your car over the metal plate in your lane about 100 feet back from the intersection, and this will switch the light to green and save that irritating wait? … We don't hear much about flying saucers this year. They wouldn't excite much interest compared to intended space ships to the moon. It seems to me that the Russians might have been responsible for various objects in the sky which remained unidentified a couple of years back. … While workmen were removing the drinking fountain from Zuckweiler's corner, young people may have wondered why it was ever built in the first place. Some- thing they don't know is that at one time, thirsty people drank out of that fountain to quench their thirst. Of course, nowadays, no one thinks of drinking plain water. Babies are weaned on fruit juices until they are six months old, after which they are switched to carbonated drinks. The first word a baby utters is no longer mama or dada, but more likely Coke. Swimming pools, baseball parks and anywhere you see little children there will be a coke dispenser nearby. And at home, refrigerators are so full of 7-UP etc. there is very little room for anything else. Few mothers waste time putting glasses of water on the table. Those that can't afford cokes year 'round will color the water with Kool-Aid to at least make the water look more appetizing. … I heartedly agree with Supervisor Raymond and his suggestion that future County buildings be constructed on the County Hospital grounds instead of purchasing high priced lots in town. In horse and buggy days, it was necessary to have County buildings clustered together as it would have taken too much time to go to two different locations. But with modern transportation, it is only minutes from the Courthouse to the County Hospital grounds…and of course many cars going out there would help the down town parking congestion. … Someone asked the other day what it cost us to bring in the high quality acts to the Red Bluff Bull Sale shows. It was between $10,000 and $15,000. To defray some of the cost we sold tickets for $7.50 for the best seats, and the last three years that we operated the show, we sold out three complete shows entertaining 2700 people each day.
