DEATHNOTICES nator and a local educa- tor, portrays both an of- ficer and a private in the 72nd New York. He de- scribes what people will see at Dog Island. "You'll step back into 1863 or 1864 to walk through military camps and bivouacs," Barram said. "Soldiers and civil- ians may address you as if it were the 1860s and you were visiting a real en- campment. You can learn about artillery, cavalry, infantry and civilian life at scheduled demonstra- tions on both days. If you want to know how a can- non is manned and fired, how to fight from horse- back, why the infantry maneuvers as they do, or how ordinary Americans coped with everyday life in 1863, you'll see it dem- onstrated up close. You might be offered a taste of hardtack or have a chance to see lice races or even offered a chance to en- list! With period music in the background, you'll talk to soldiers and civil- ians engaged in everyday routine. When the battles begin, you'll see the tac- tics, heroism and tragedy of our greatest conflict. All the weapons and ma- neuvers are as authentic as possible; only the ca- sualties are imagined rather than real. When the battle ends, you can tour the aftermath in the surgeons' tent. Most im- portant, you'll come away with a better understand- ing of the war that shaped modern America." Soft drinks, bottled wa- ter and other refreshments will be available for sale at the event. Cannon and musket fire will echo from two daily battles — noon and 3 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday.

The new program allows residents to set up an alert to notify them of new inci- dents or crime data updates on a daily or weekly basis by e-mail. To subscribed to the free service visit the website. The live mapping feature will show what's going on in thecommunity,mappingac- tivecallsforservice.Clicking on the map icon for an inci- dent displays limited data available for the incident. Live mapping has a fea- ture that lets the user slide a control on the screen to move through what oc- curred at any point in the past 24 hours. For exam- ple, news media or residents can locate an incident that happened earlier in the day. When mapped, an inci- dent location is deliberately blurred to the nearest hun- dred block level, according to the release. Incident mapping, a simi- lar map to the live mapping, is a pin mapping feature for historical RIMS data with the user picking the date span to be mapped. Crime mapping is the common crime pin map- ping feature where the user picks a date frame and the crime types and categories to be mapped. For RIMS, crime data equates to cases. With crime mapping anyone can click on a mapped case icon shows more info about the case. Incidents that occur throughout the county and the calls that the sher- iff's dispatch receive in the past 24 hours is located at the Bulletin Tab on the site. The feature displaying arrests in the last 30 days will displays basic informa- tion, but rolling the cursor over a listed arrest shows personal data that is al- lowed by statute and law and the mug shot of the ar- restee, according to the re- lease. To assist the sheriff's of- fice, citizens are encouraged to fill out the citizen home check form when they will be on vacation or away from their homes for an extended period of time. "It is greatly appreciated if citizens note cars left at the premises or if lights are left on when citizens are away, this information can be added under additional information at the bottom of the form," said Lt. Yvette Borden. "Patrol and STARS members conduct these checks as requested by cit- izens." Directed Patrol Requests can be filled out by citizens asking for a certain area to be patrolled much like the citizen home check form. Businesses are encour- aged to fill out the security camera registration form, according to the release. This allows the sheriff's of- fice to know where secu- rity cameras exist to assist in solving crime and iden- tify potential suspect or suspects and their vehicles.

Damante said she enjoys creating art work and de- cided to enter the contest after her teacher, Lisa So- mavia, encouraged her to do so. In addition to signing the pledge, students were made aware through facts that were posted on the wall be- hind the booth one of which talked about how nine of 10 victims are women and only 310 of every 1,000 cases are reported to police. Other facts included 97 percent of rapists do not spend even a single night in jail and the majority of sex- ual assaults take place at or near the victim's home.

By Malcolm Ritter The Associated Press NEW YORK A startling new report asserts that the first known Americans arrived much, much earlier than scientists thought — more than 100,000 years ago and maybe they were Neander- thals. If true, the finding would far surpass the widely ac- cepted date of about 15,000 years ago. Researchers say a site in Southern California shows evidence of humanlike be- havior from about 130,000 years ago, when bones and teeth of an elephantlike mastodon were evidently smashed with rocks. The earlier date means the bone-smashers were not necessarily members of our own species, Homo sapiens. The research- ers speculate that these early Californians could have instead been spe- cies known only from fos- sils in Europe, Africa and Asia: Neanderthals, a lit- tle-known group called Denisovans, or another human forerunner named Homo erectus. "The very honest answer is, we don't know," said Ste- ven Holen, lead author of the paper and director of the nonprofit Center for American Paleolithic Re- search in Hot Springs, South Dakota. No remains of any individuals were found. Whoever they were, they could have arrived by land or sea. They might have come from Asia via the Beringea land bridge that used to connect Si- beria to Alaska, or maybe come across by watercraft along the Beringea coast or across open water to North America, before turning southward to California, Holen said in a telephone interview. Holen and others pres- ent their evidence in a paper released Wednes- day by the journal Nature . Not surprisingly, the re- port was met by skepti- cism from other experts who don't think there is enough proof. The research dates back to the winter of 1992-3. The site was unearthed during a routine dig by research- ers during a freeway ex- pansion project in San Di- ego. Analysis of the find was delayed to assemble the right expertise, said Tom Demere, curator of pa- leontology at the San Diego Natural History Museum, another author of the pa- per. The Nature analysis fo- cuses on remains from a single mastodon, and five stones found nearby. The mastodon's bones and teeth were evidently placed on two stones used as anvils and smashed with three stone hammers, to get at nutritious marrow and create raw material for tools. Patterns of damage on the limb bones looked like what happened in ex- periments when elephant bones were smashed with rocks. And the bones and stones were found in two areas, each roughly cen- tered on what's thought to be an anvil. The stones measured about 8 inches (20 centime- ters) to 12 inches (30 centi- meters) long and weighed up to 32 pounds (14.5 kilo- grams). They weren't hand- crafted tools, Demere said. The users evidently found them and brought them to the site. The excavation also found a mastodon tusk in a vertical position, extend- ing down into older lay- ers, which may indicate it had been jammed into the ground as a marker or to create a platform, Demere said. The fate of the visitors is not clear. Maybe they died out without leaving any de- scendants, he said. Experts not connected with the study provided a range of reactions. "If the results stand up to further scrutiny, this does indeed change everything we thought we knew," said Chris Stringer of the Nat- ural History Museum in London. Neanderthals and Denisovans are the most likely identities of the vis- itors, he said. Denisovans, more closely related to Ne- anderthals than to us, are known from fossils found in a Siberian cave. But"manyof uswill want to see supporting evidence of this ancient occupation from other sites, before we abandon the conventional model of a first arrival by modern humans within the last 15,000 years," he wrote in an email. SCIENCE Neanderthals in California? Maybe so, provocative study says idents are asked to use the city-owned traps to catch the feral cats and they can either transport the an- imals themselves to the Burnham Veterinary clinic in Willows or pay $25 for Glenn County Animal Con- trol to transport them. Pete Carr, Orland city manager, said the program reduces complaints about feral cats as it provides an option for residents. Carr did not have any data to support there being a re- duction in the number of feral cats as a result of the efforts, Miller said. Miller said a significant amount of research shows that "catch and kill" eutha- nasia programs are not al- ways effective in reducing cat populations. Studies show, "if the re- sources remain the popula- tion will eventually recover. Any cats remaining after a catch and kill effort will pro- duce more kittens and at a higher survival rate, filing thehabitatback tocapacity." Corning loans traps to residents. In order to ob- tain the trap, a letter from the property owner must be provided indicating where the cat will be released. Police Chief Jeremiah Fears said the traps are con- stantly being used. The pur- chase of more traps will be discussed at future meet- ing. The Tehama County An- imal Care Center does not accept feral cats, Miller said. It refers residents to Reynolds Ranch, where they can rent traps and transport cats to various veterinary offices that pro- vide euthanasia and low cost spay or neuter services. Cats FROM PAGE 1 By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO A Cali- fornia judge allowed the state's bullet train project to go forward Wednesday but delayed a final rul- ing on a legal challenge asserting the state is not keeping its promises to voters. Sacramento County Su- perior Court Judge Ray- mond Cadei denied oppo- nents' attempt to tempo- rarily block the state from spending about $1.25 bil- lion from the sale of $10 billion in bonds last week for the project intended to link Los Angeles and San Francisco with a bul- let train. He did not immediately rule on their underlying challenge to the $64 bil- lion project after hearing arguments. However, rec ent changes to the train plan detailed in the lawsuit fall within what voters approved in 2008, Cadei said, echoing the reason- ing in his tentative deci- sion issued Tuesday. "It seems to me the ini- tiative the voters had be- fore them broadly autho- rized the funds," Cadei said during the hour-long hearing Wednesday. Re- cent changes by the state Legislature don't change the general intent of the ballot measure, the judge said. "He's basically giv- ing the Legislature carte blanche to change ballot measures after voters ap- proved them," plaintiffs' attorney Stuart Flashman said after the hearing. "I think that's terrible."
