The manager, Alice Bennett, said about two to three minutes later she saw an out-of-control vehi- cle from the window near the gas station's cash reg- ister. She said the vehicle hit the phone box, and remem- bered "everything just im- ploding." Investigators stayed on scene late into the after- noon. A shoe could be seen on the roadway, and debris from the crash was strewn about a cordoned off area at the gas station. Red Bluff police said multiple agencies, includ- ing the California High- way Patrol, Tehama County Sheriff's Department and the Tehama County Dis- trict Attorney's Office re- sponded to the scene.

The inspections will be held from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine, according to the release. The inspec- tions, which will be carried out by a certified techni- cian, are said to take a few minutes. The CHP notes that all children and adults must be properly restrained in a vehicle, and that children under age 8 and less than 4 feet, 9 inches must be re- strained in a safety seat. The CHP said that child safety seats should be se- lected to fit a child's height and weight, according to the release. Parents are en- couraged to keep children rear facing as a car seat's manufacturer allows, to not place a rear-facing seat in front of an air bag, and to keep children in the back seat through age 12. The CHP said the back seat is the safest seat. The Red Bluff Walmart is located at 1025 S. Main St. Seat FROM PAGE 1 Red Bluff police said the focus on bicycle violations is meant to increase aware- ness and educate bicyclists and parents of children who ride bikes. "This focused effort from the Red Bluff Police Depart- ment on bicycle safety is meant to educate the pub- lic regarding bicycle safety laws and hopefully reduce the number of bicyclists in- jured or killed in collisions," the release said. A recently enacted law requires motorists to main- tain a buffer of three feet when passing a bicyclist or slow down until a safe pass may be made. Bike FROM PAGE 1 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Thankyou! SACRAMENTO The Bu- reau of Reclamation and the San Luis & Delta-Men- dota Water Authority have made available for public review a joint Draft Envi- ronmental Impact State- ment/Environmental Im- pact Report on the effects of water transfers from 2015 to 2024. This Draft EIS/EIR eval- uates water transfers that originate from willing sellers in northern Cali- fornia to buyers south of the Sacramento-San Joa- quin Delta and in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Proposed Action includes transfers of Central Val- ley Project water through CVP or State Water Proj- ect facilities and transfers of non-CVP water supplies that require the use of CVP facilities. Water transfers would occur through various methods such as ground- water substitution, crop- land idling, reservoir re- leases, or conservation and would include individ- ual and multiyear transfers from 2015 through 2024. The transfers could originate in Tehama, Colusa, Butte, Glenn, Mer- ced, Placer, Sacramento, Shasta, Solano, Sutter, Yolo or Yuba counties. The transfer buyers could be in Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Kings, Merced, San Benito, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, or Stanislaus coun- ties. The Draft EIS/EIR evaluation found no sig- nificant, unavoidable im- pacts on environmental resources. A hearing to solicit com- ments on topics addressed in the Draft EIS/EIR has been scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, at Chico Masonic Family Center, 1110 W. East Ave. Reclamation and SLD- MWA are lead federal and state agencies, respectively, for the National Environ- mental Policy Act and the California Environmen- tal Quality Act.

PUBLIC COMMENT Water transfer documents are available for review By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO California will become the first state that allows family mem- bers to ask a judge to re- move firearms from a rel- ative who appears to pose a threat, under legislation Gov. Jerry Brown said Tues- day he had signed. The bill was proposed by several Democrats and responds to a deadly ram- page in May near the Uni- versity of California, Santa Barbara. Supporters had said such a measure could have pre- vented the attacks, winning out over critics who said it would erode gun rights. Law enforcement author- ities in Connecticut, Indi- ana and Texas can seek a judge's order allowing them to seize guns from people they deem to be a danger. The new California law gives law enforcement the same option and extends it to family members. It continues California's efforts to lead the nation in preventing firearm injury and death, said Amanda Wilcox, an advocate for the Brady Campaign to Pre- vent Gun Violence, whose daughter was a victim of gun violence. The greatest effect might be in preventing suicides or intervening where there is a history of domestic vio- lence, she said. "It's hard to know how much it will be used or how much it will prevent," Wilcox said. "It only takes avoiding one loss for this to be worth it." Lawmakers approved the bill by Democratic Assem- bly members Nancy Skin- ner of Berkeley and Das Williams of Santa Barbara amid pleas that they act after the May 23 attack in which six people were fa- tally stabbed or shot and 13 others wounded in the com- munity of Isla Vista. Relatives of the victims and other supporters of the bill said the parents of 22-year-old Elliot Rod- ger were thwarted in their attempts to seek help for their troubled son before the rampage. Weeks earlier, his par- ents had his therapist con- tact Santa Barbara County mental health officials. Sheriff's deputies talked to Rodger but never entered his apartment or checked to see if he owned guns. They decided he was not a threat to himself or others and took no further action. Rodger later wrote that had deputies searched his room, they might have found guns that police said he used to shoot three peo- ple after stabbing to death three others. Rodger killed himself while being pur- sued by police. Under the California bill, whoever seeks the re- straining order would have to sign an affidavit under oath. If they lie, they could be charged with a misde- meanor. A court hearing would be held within 14 days af- ter the restraining order is granted to give the gun owner a chance to argue there is no danger. Republican lawmak- ers and some Democrats voted against the measure, known as AB1014. In Rodger's case, there is no evidence his parents or anyone treating him knew he had weapons. That prompted Sen. Hannah- Beth Jackson, D-Santa Bar- bara, to introduce a related bill that would require law enforcement agencies to de- velop policies that encour- age officers to search the state's database of gun pur- chases as part of routine welfare checks. That bill, SB505, also was signed by the governor. Brown's signing of the bills "helped to honor the life of my son, Christopher, and so many others killed by senseless gun violence," said Richard Martinez, fa- ther of Isla Vista shooting victim Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez and an advocate for the group Ev- erytown for Gun Safety. "Nothing we can do will bring back Christopher, but I'm confident this new law will help save lives and pre- vent other families from ex- periencing this same kind of tragedy. wwStates around the country should be explor- ing this life-saving mea- sure," he said in a state- ment about the restraining order legislation. Currently in California, authorities can seize le- gally purchased guns only from people convicted of a felony or a violent misde- meanor, those subject to a domestic violence restrain- ing order, or those who are determined to be mentally unstable. The National Rifle As- sociation and other gun- rights groups opposed the restraining order legisla- tion.

Many wool growers told me they would prefer tariff protection rather than a subsidy, but had been unable to convince this administration. Our first experience with subsidies was during the first year of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency. For every hog killed in a slaughter plant, 4 cents per live weight was assessed. This amount was collected and paid to farmers for not raising pigs. The next time was during the early war years of the 1940's. We were getting along fine until the OPA(Office of PriceAdministration) decided that any plant that did not manufacture sausage should receive a subsidy of 80 cents per hundred weight on all beef killed. It seemed foolish but the first month the green cardboard check came in from Washington, it was for $20,000. This policy did not last very long and I'm glad we did not have to pay it back Regarding controversial items, I figure there are only two assertions I can make without people phoning me to argue about them. One is to say, "The weather yesterday was neither too hot nor too cold". This could be followed the next day with "The weather yesterday was more or less the same as the day before". … The biggest crowd of Red Bluff people gathered at the railroad tracks a week ago to see the Liberty Bell* since it came through in 1915. … I often marvel at what advertising agencies can think up to say about a cigarette.APhilip Morris ad on TV last Sunday stretched the imagination about as far as possible. The announcer said that the cigarette has "a firm friendly feeling". So if you happen to smoke some other brand, don't be surprised if it has a limp and hostile feeling. … Our minister announced Sunday that 50% of the people in the U.S. have some church affiliation, but in California, only 30% belong to any church. Being that almost every one out here came from the rest of the United States, California must be a bad influence. … The Red Bluff Lions Club spends a lot of money every year buying glasses for needy children. In order to raise money, they hold a turkey shoot every year at the 4 Mile House north of town on Highway 99. There will be trap shooting, shooting at moving targets, bow and arrow shooting, and for younger hunters, BB and 22 rifle completion. This is a good chance to show off your ability, help a good cause and maybe get a free turkey. The dates are the 8th and the 22nd of November. Dave Minch 1900-1964 *Might be a good idea to trot out the Liberty Bell once again and display it around the country. On the other hand, some terrorist might try to bomb it, so never mind. What an age we live in! Tsk, tsk. RM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
