Lawmakers want Cal Fire off-budget account probe SACRAMENTO (AP) — California Republican lawmakers want federal prosecutors to investigate nearly $4 million placed in a Cal Fire off-budget account. The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/Wr113t) says the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection placed the money with the California District Attorneys Association from 2005 to 2012 to use for training and equipment. Cal Fire regulations say the $3.6 million from legal settlements was supposed to be sent to the state general fund. In a letter to the governor, the legislators say what they call subterfuge money has been spent on a variety of questionable expenditures that have nothing to do with reimbursing the state for firefighting costs. The letter asks the governor to request an investigation by the U.S. Attorney. State Department of Finance auditors are already looking into the fund. CARE TO COMMENT?

At 1:34 p.m., Sgt. Matt Hansen made contact with the man, later identified as Aaron Matthew Perry, for a pedestrian violation at which point Perry refused to stop and fled on foot, according to a Red Bluff Police press release. CODE Continued from page 1A permitted use of residential property for zoning purposes. The ordinance would have brought the county in line with AB 1616, which went into effect Jan. 1. The state's Homemade Food Act was passed with the intention of decreasing regulation on those who sell non-potentially hazardous foods, such as candy, dried pasta or popcorn, from their homes. But the discussion took on a different tone after Supervisor Bob Williams asked whether the new code would apply to those who produce goods for bake sales. Interim Planning Director Jim Hamilton said, while those wishing to participate in non-profit Officers pursued Perry into Leisure Lake Estates, 180 S. Main St, where he was found near a trailer and ordered to the ground. Perry complied, but tried reaching for something in his waistband. Fearing Perry was reaching for a weapon, an officer struck him one time on the arm with a police baton, the release said. Perry complied and was taken into custody without further incident. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for minor injuries before being booked into bake sales would be exempt from fees, they would have to register as a cottage food operation to comply with the code. Health Director Tim Potanovic said that has always been the case. What AB 1616 and the amended county code did was remove a process requiring cottage food operations to seek a special use permit. Supervisor Steve Chamblin then asked whether the "confusion on the our faces here is common on environmental health directors across the state?" Potanovic agreed. "Home food preparation as a general concept has not been approved (in the state)," Potanovic later tried to clarify. Chairman Dennis Garton said, while the county needed to amend its ordinance to comply with state law, there was no discus- VICTIM Continued from page 1A ing violence prevention and alcohol abuse. • Completing the new Arete Accreditation process that holds chapters to high standards of service, scholarship, leadership, integrity, community and diversity and inclusion." Wills said the Arete program, which holds Greek organizations to the highest standards, is used at a number of colleges and universities. For two hours Saturday morning, officials from the national offices of 25 of Chico State's Greek organizations met with university leaders, said CC Carter, director of the campus Student Life and Leadership Office. In the afternoon student leaders (mostly the chapter presidents) and the national representatives met with university officials. "The meetings went really well," Carter said. "There was agreement that this is a good way forward. It's going to be good for all involved." At a meeting in November, when he stunned members of fraternities and sororities by announc- Measure would force gun owners to buy insurance SACRAMENTO (AP) — Democratic lawmakers proposed legislation Tuesday that would require California gun owners to buy liability insurance to cover damages or injuries caused by their weapons. Similar bills have been introduced in other states after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. They include Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York. ''I was moved, like many others, being the father of two young children, by the Sandy Hook incident and looking for constructive ways to manage gun violence here in California as well as the rest of the country,'' said Assemblyman Philip Ting of San Francisco, who introduced AB231 along with Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez of Los Angeles. ''There's basically a cost that is born by the taxpayers when accidents occur. ... I don't think that taxpayers should be footing those bills.'' Ting equated the idea to requiring vehicle owners to buy auto insurance. Gomez said it would encourage gun owners to take firearms safety classes and keep their guns locked up to get lower insurance rates. No state has enacted the requirement despite repeated previous attempts, said Jon Griffin, a policy analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures. Bills have been offered unsuccessfully in Massachusetts and New York since at least 2003, when the conference began keeping track, he said. Similar bills were proposed in Illinois in 2009 and in Pennsylvania last year. Lawmakers are introducing the bills this year in even more states after the recent shootings. Some proposals would require buyers to show proof of insurance before they could purchase a weapon. The proposal in California would apply to anyone owning a weapon, Ting said, though the bill's details are still being worked out.

Williams said he didn't foresee a time when newspapers would take pictures of the health department hauling 30 little old ladies out of a bake sale. After the board unanimously approved the amendment, County Counsel Arthur Wylene attempted to clarify what had just been done. He said the board had eliminated a regulatory step requiring planning approval, not added further regulation. The text of AB 1616 briefly touches on the complexities of the bake sale issues. "Even some bake sales are currently illegal in California," Section 1 reads. Section 7 defines a "direct sale" as including close proximity, O'Connor said.

Tehama County's amended code adds "cottage food operation" to a permitted home occupation in a residential zone. That allows cottage food operators to have one employee in their residence. Those wishing to completely comply with county health code will be able to register at the county health department.

He said there were five alcohol-related student deaths in Chico in the last five months of 2012. Saying it's not just the Greek system, but Chico itself that has a problem with alcohol, Zingg has pushed for community action. In early January, a "call to action" in the form of a large newspaper ad was issued by Zingg and 27 other university and community leaders. The ad said past efforts have helped but much more is needed now to address "a pressing challenge to our health, well-being and reputation." Wills said a meeting will be held soon to begin planning actions to be taken.

THE PASSING PARADE (from Dave Minch's I Say column of May 1959 continued) Joe Cone, on his extensive holdings on the east side of the river planted apricots, prunes, freestone peaches and Bartlett pears. Much of the fruit was dried, but in 1907 after Mr. Cone died and his son Douglas had taken over, the crop of 80 acres of pears was packed and shipped to Canada. It took sixty five railroad cars to ship the crop. In a later year, the pears were shipped across the U.S. in refrigerated cars, loaded onto boats at New York on their way to London. The crop for that shipment was said to have netted $1,000 per acre…and today would be the equivalent of $5,000 per acre. Mrs. Alice Davis worked as a forelady in the packing shed during this time and she remembers that workers were paid off in 5 and 10 dollar gold pieces. The pear trees were sprayed by a crew of 6 Chinese workers. Two carried bamboo poles and moved the spray hoses around in the limbs of the trees, two worked a hand cart affair that supplied the pressure for spraying and two rested. About 100 of the Chinese raised the vegetables and peddled them about town. Their horses and wagons started out at day break and they sold all day until all the vegetables were sold. I remember only Sam Lee who continued to peddle the vegetables until about 1919. The men also raised peanuts, tomatoes, celery, carrots, peppers and potatoes. The men worked on shares; the foreman might have 5 shares, a poorer worker only 1 share, a cook 3 shares and so forth. All money received for labor and vegetables was put in a pot and the head Chinese man divided it into shares. During the off season these men were sent into the hills to haul stones off the range land and to build stone fences. Many of these fences, built 80 years ago are still standing. They can be taken apart but cannot be put back together again. They were made without mortar, just fitted together. The fences were two feet wide and about 4 feet high. The coolies hauled the rocks to the fence site, and for every 16 1/2 foot of fence they built, they were paid 15 cts. At one time the Cone Ranch contained 40,000 sheep, 2000 cattle and uncounted hogs. The hogs were allowed to run wild in the foothills and when needed, were trapped and slaughtered for the employees. Thousands of mules were raised, sold and shipped to the Hawaiian Islands to work on the sugar plantations. Mr. Cone was in many ways, a remarkable man. *** At the Silver Dollar Fair in Chico, I talked to a man from the 1st Western Bank. He told me he expected to have a branch in Red Bluff within 8 months. If money gets any tighter, we are going to need more money and more banks from which to borrow.
