K-9 officer tracks down fleeing suspect A 42-year-old man who bailed out of a moving car was apprehended by a police K-9 unit Sunday afternoon. A Corning Police sergeant spotted Garrett Wade Standridge riding in the passenger seat of a vehicle around noon, according to a department press release. The sergeant was aware of a detain and contact parole hold on Standridge. Due to a history of Standridge Three people were arrested Sunday night after the Tehama County Sheriff's Department received a report of a burglary in Gerber. Deputies arrived around 10:30 p.m. to find Wayne Lyle VanSickle 56 and Philip Mark Andreas, 34 removing items from a residence, according to a department press release. Sheriff's logs show someone had reported seeing subjects with flashlights at the residence on the 7000 block or Highway 99. Earlier in the day the department had received another report regarding the location from someone who said she had found clothing and other items inside the house. PICKUP Continued from page 1A Rezendes was turning on northbound Everett Freeman Way from the Rolling Hills Casino parking lot when he took the turn too fast, los- SWORN SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown wants to end a 6-year-old program that has sent thousands of California inmates to private prisons in other states, although he may not get the chance unless he can persuade federal judges to revise an order limiting the number of inmates the state can hold. The governor's office must submit a plan to the federal court by midnight Monday outlining how California will meet the court's inmate population cap by the end of the year. Continuing the out-of-state contracts is among the easiest ways for the state to comply, but that option is opposed by Brown's administration and by attorneys representing inmates. The courts imposed the inmate cap to force California to improve medical and mental health care for its prisoners, a decision that has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Brown wants to return the nearly 9,000 inmates to California over the next four years, a step his administration said would save the state roughly $300 million annually. ''Returning these inmates to California will stop the flow of taxpayer dollars to other states,'' Brown said in his budget plan from last year. His proposal relies on federal judges allowing the state to keep an additional 6,000 inmates above the courtordered cap, something the judges have not been willing to do so far. The administration and the inmate advocates acknowledge that the trade-off for ending the out-of-state contracts could be reduced sentences for some criminals, early releases and new construction at existing state prisons. Those alternatives would be necessary to keep California's inmate population within the federal cap. Yet, Don Specter and Michael Bien, the lead attorneys representing inmates' welfare, said housing prisoners so far away is bad public policy because it separates them from their families and communities, reducing their chances of success after they are released. Bien also said the private prison industry lacks the same kind of public scrutiny that a state-run prison system faces. ''They are not responsible to the public, they are not responsible to the Legislature — they are responsible to their shareholders,'' he said. California has had contracts with Corrections Corp. of America to house prisons out of state since 2006. As of this year, it was sending roughly 4,600 inmates to Arizona, 2,600 to Mississippi and 1,600 to Oklahoma. Those contracts have helped the state relieve unsafe, overcrowded conditions ''at significant cost savings to California taxpayers while also helping the State defer the cost of constructing new prisons,'' company spokesman Steven Owen said in an email. The private prisons must comply with the same federal court orders that apply to all California inmates, he said, and operations are overseen by state and federal officials. Standridge continued fleeing, at which time the sergeant commanded the K-9 to apprehend Standridge. The K-9 caught Standridge a short time later. Standridge was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for medical treatment of a dog bite to his lower right leg. He was then booked into Tehama County Jail for a parole hold and resisting arrest.

In 2000 Garaventa won his first election to the ''It's absolutely unacceptable that a person can buy thousands of rounds of ammunition over a short period of time without being detected by law enforcement,'' Bonta said.

Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he expects the Democratic-controlled Legislature to act on gun control measures this year. ''I think there is a time in history where action is compelled,'' Steinberg told reporters in Sacramento. ''I think the country's views on this subject are changing and Newtown, I think, was an obvious catalyst for that. California has some of the, is more advanced if you will, when it comes to reasonable gun control, but I think we have more to do.'' Tax hikes passed, lawmakers seek broad agenda SACRAMENTO (AP) — Lawmakers returned to the Capitol on Monday with a wide-ranging agenda that includes revisions to school funding, gun control laws and environmental regulations. The Senate and Assembly opened their two-year session with Democrats firmly in control of both houses. The party's supermajorities will allow them to approve taxes and fees without GOP support, as well as override gubernatorial vetoes. ''There are so many issues to take up here that we will not lack for a lot of work to do,'' Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg told reporters. Legislators will address the state's water and transportation network, education funding, gun control, getting more help for the mentally ill, and complying with the federal Affordable Care Act, he said. Republicans say they want to ensure that the sales and income tax increases voters approved in November through Proposition 30 are spent on education, as Gov. Jerry Brown and supporters promised during the election campaign. Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, RTulare, said Republicans should be the ''conscience'' of the Legislature on spending and other reforms. She said she is encouraged by the proposals to make changes to education policy and funding. ''It's something that I've always hoped we could do as legislators, and that is spend more time focusing on really important issues and less on trivial little bills that seem to get in the way of other things,'' Conway said. In addition to education, Conway said priorities include revisions to an $11 billion water bond that is set to go before voters in 2014 and modernizing the state's complex environmental regulations. The statewide sales tax increase and an income tax increase on those making $250,000 a year or more are expected to generate an estimated $6 billion a year. That revenue and an improving economy mean there is likely to be less drama surrounding the state budget proposal Brown will release later this week. The state's nonpartisan budget analyst projects a deficit of less than $2 billion in the fiscal year that begins July 1 and the possibility of surpluses after that. But those rosier financial forecasts could lead to more clashes between the frugal Democratic governor and members of his own party who are eager to restore services after years of deep budget cuts. Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto, said she wants to ensure that Democrats ''fulfill their promise'' to spend Proposition 30 revenue on education. ''Certainly in all of their campaigning for it that's what they were promising, so as Republicans we need to make sure that they fulfill that promise, that they be wise fiscal managers of the tax money that they've been given by the public and not start to go out on another spending frenzy,'' she said. Republicans are introducing several bills that respond to voters' approval of Proposition 30. They include a bill prohibiting tuition increases in the university systems while the higher taxes are in effect, and attempting to move up a vote on creating a spending cap and rainy day fund from November 2014 to the June 2014 primary ballot. ''This institution has an insatiable appetite to have more revenue to spend,'' Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, a Republican from Diamond Bar. Voters rejected eight tax increases before approving Proposition 30, he noted, ''so to take one election and say there's a mandate would be a mistake, I believe.'' Brown on Monday set special elections to fill two Senate vacancies after the resignation of Gloria Negrete McLeod of Chino and Juan Vargas of San Diego, who were both elected to Congress in November. The primary for their Senate seats will be held on March 12, followed by a special election on May 14. Brown also is expected to call a special legislative session to address administrative changes required to fully implement the national Affordable Care Act. Steinberg, D-Sacramento, acknowledged criticism that the first two months of the legislative session generally produce little visible action because hundreds of bills are still being introduced and await their first committee hearings. Meanwhile, legislators collect their daily cost of living paychecks while meeting twice each week for largely ceremonial floor sessions. To make sessions more productive, he said the Senate plans to invite speakers to discuss issues that will face lawmakers later in the year. ''I think that will be a good use of our time,'' he said. He then adjourned a half-hour session that addressed just three administrative matters: one governor's appointment, one change to the membership of a committee, and the adoption of joint operating rules with the Assembly. All passed unanimously without debate. Scientists claim censorship by federal agency GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Seven federal fisheries scientists who work for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation have filed a complaint alleging their manager refused to publish their work on salmon in the Klamath Basin because it was considered by others to be biased. The complaint was filed Monday with the U.S. Department of Interi- or. In filing the complaint, the scientists invoked an Obama administration policy prohibiting political manipulation of science by the federal government. The scientists allege they are being coerced and their work on the water needs of Klamath Basin salmon is being censored. The complaint cites a memo from their manager saying their work is perceived by others as inherently biased. The memo adds their research will be taken over by another agency, and the scientists will be transferred. The bureau did not immediately comment.
