A second victim, a man in his early 40s, contacted Red Bluff Police on Nov. 17 and disclosed that he had been sexually assaulted by Rios, who was 22 at the time of the incident, when the man was 11 years old. The victim- izationreportedlytookplace over a three-year period. Following his arrest, Rios was booked into Te- hama County Jail on 13 fel- ony charges and one misde- meanor charge. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of life in prison, Hansen said. Charges include assault with a deadly weapon, not a firearm or force: great bodily injury likely; aggra- vated sexual assault of a mi- nor with force; assault with a firearm on a person; as- sault with intent to commit oral copulation; criminal threats; exhibiting a deadly weapon; false imprisonment with violence; oral copula- tion with a victim under 18; possess, produce, distribute or sell pornographic mate- rial depicting a minor; pre- vent or dissuade victim or witness; send, possess, ob- scene material; sexual pen- etration with foreign ob- ject: victim under 18; sod- omy with person under 18, torture; and willful harm or injury to child.

They then located the victim from 1976, who is currently living in Arizona, and told her we had her car." The original owner was Modesto Fleming. In talking to the man who brought the car in, Madrigal learned he had been given the car by his wife in 1987. She had ac- quired it from a dealer in Redding that is no longer in business. Arrangements were made for Fleming to travel to California to retrieve the vehicle and on Nov. 4 Mad- rigal was able to return the Corvette to her. The original purchase price of the car was be- tween $4,200 and $6,200. The value today is roughly $50,000.

Sacramento County officials say theirs is the first within a local cor- rectional facility. The inmates see them- selves in the horses as they both learn valuable lessons and skills. "They're a lot like us," said Christopher Robert Culcasi, 40, who is serving a two-year sentence for auto theft. "You take them from the wild, you herd them up, throw them in holding facil- ities, take them away from what they know — every- thing they know — and then ask them to comply. You know, that's a lot of what we're going through here." Jason MacDonald, 49, said he has been in prison or jail for much of his life, including his current three- year stint for burglary. "I did something wrong to go to jail. He didn't do nothing wrong, you know?" he said of his horse. "So I've got a compassion for him right off the bat because I feel like he's in jail wrongly accused, you know, and it's my job to get him out of jail, to get him a saddle and go." Five saddle-trained horses will be auctioned off Dec. 10 by the Sacra- mento County Sheriff's De- partment program that be- gan in 2014. Inmates volunteer and must be approved by a correctional panel before they can work with the horses outside the barbed- wire fences that surround the jail. They spend four months taming and train- ing the horses. They also built and maintain the holding pens and care for the pastures where the horses graze. About 15 percent of in- mates who participate in similar programs at fed- eral prisons commit new crimes, far below the na- tional recidivism rate in which about two-thirds of convicts are soon back be- hind bars, officials said. "They're put in a situ- ation where they have to learn leadership skills and they learn about themselves and their anger manage- ment and their patience," ranch manager Joe Mis- ner said. "It changes their thought process on how to handle situations that hap- pen in their lives." Associated Press writer Don Thompson in Sacra- mento contributed to this report.

By Michelle L. Price The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY Officials settled a deadlocked race for a spot on a city council in suburban Salt Lake City by drawing names from a pilgrim hat and flipping a coin — a decision-by- chance that Utah and a number of other states al- low to break ties in elec- tions or appointments. Utah law lets tied votes be settled "by lot" but does not specify what method of chance to use, Elections Director Mark Thomas said Wednesday. A coin toss and drawing names are common methods and they have been used two or three times over the past decade in Utah, generally in small elections, he said. In the Kentucky city of Grayson, a tied election for a city council seat was set- tled Thursday with a coin flip. In other states, local officials sometimes have rolled dice to determine the winner. That hap- pened in Oregon in June, when two legislative can- didates tied as they sought the nomination of the In- dependent Party. A 1992 stalemate in a primary for an Arizona legislative seat was settled by a game of poker. In the Utah city of West Jordan last week, the city council interviewed 10 candidates interested in filling a vacancy. After 3½ hours of interviews and several rounds of voting, the council narrowed it down to Alan R. Ander- son and David Pack. The council members dead- locked 3-3. The council knew go- ing into the Nov. 16 meet- ing that a tie was possible and came prepared, West Jordan spokeswoman Kim Wells said. Each can- didate's name was writ- ten on an identically sized piece of paper and put in a pilgrim-style hat pro- vided by councilman Dirk Burton, who was asked to bring an option from his large collection of hats in case of a tie. The police chief drew Anderson's name, des- ignating him as "heads" for a coin toss. It came up heads, making him the winner. The coin toss, first re- ported by the Deseret News on Tuesday, marked the first time West Jor- dan filled an office by that method, said Wells, the city spokeswoman. Anderson, a charter school business manager and member of the city's sustainability committee, told The Associated Press that he and Pack both agreed early on: "As the coin goes, so we do." DEADLOCKED RACE Coin toss for a Utah council seat: Tied race determined by chance By David Crary The Associated Press NEW YORK The number and rate of abortions tallied by federal authorities have fallen to their lowest level in decades, according to new data released Wednesday. The latest annual report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in- corporating data from 47 states, said the abortion rate for 2013 was 12.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44 years.Thatisdown5percent from 2012, and is half the rate of 25 recorded in 1980. The last time the CDC re- corded a lower abortion rate was in 1971, two years before theU.S.SupremeCourt'sRoe v. Wade decision that estab- lished a nationwide right for women to have abortions. Abortion was legal in some states at that time. The CDC tallied 664,435 abortionsin2013fromthe47 states, down 5 percent from 2012 and down 20 percent from 2004. The CDC does not receive abortion data from California, Maryland and New Hampshire — and thus its total is less than the widelyacceptedcurrentesti- mate of more than 900,000 abortions per year in all 50 states. Back in 1990, when Cali- fornia was supplying data, the CDC recorded a peak of more than 1.4 million abor- tions. The CDC's latest findings meshed with an Associated Press state-by-state survey conducted last year — with extensive data from 2014 — showing that abortions had been declining in virtu- ally every state since 2010. There were big declines in conservative states passing laws to restrict abortions and also in more liberal states that protected abor- tion rights. The CDC report suggests there are several factors be- hind the abortion decline, including a sharp drop in adolescent pregnancies, ex- panded coverage of contra- ception costs by health care plans, and increased use of effective, long-lasting con- traceptive methods such as intrauterine devices and hormonal implants. Among the CDC's de- tailed findings: —Women in their 20s ac- counted for more than 58 percent of abortions and had the highest abortion rates. Young women and girls aged 19 and under ac- counted for 11.7 percent of abortions. —Two-thirds of abortions were performed within the first eight weeks of ges- tation, and nearly 92 per- cent by 13 weeks. Only 1.3 percent were performed after 20 weeks — a point at which many anti-abor- tion activists want a fed- eral abortion ban to be im- posed. President-elect Don- ald Trump has promised to support such a ban if legis- lation reaches his desk. ANNUAL REPORT CDC: US abortion rate lowest level in decades ROSS D.
