FROOME Continued from page 1A possession of marijuana for sale. In September 2012, the Tehama County District Attorney's Office filed additional charges of filing a false tax return and perjury by declaration against Froome and his wife, Kellie Mae Froome. A no-contest plea in court is when the defendant does not admit guilt, but it is treated like a guilty plea in that the matter is sent forth to sentencing, said visiting Judge William Abel, a retired Colusa County judge who presided over the matter. If Froome pays his 2008-2009 corporate taxes, which Froome said he was unable to do so since the police had seized his business records, and the Franchise Tax Board is satisfied, restitution will have been deemed paid. If not, a restitution hearing would need to be set, Abel said. Both charges Froome faces are felonies, carrying the possibility of incarceration in a state prison, according to a Tehama County District Attorney's press release. Froome has entered a Harvey GAS Continued from page 1A passed green building Ruth Cavanagh Radcliffe May 24, 1922 to February 2, 2013 Ruth Cavanagh Radcliffe was born in Red Bluff, California, May 24, 1922, the daughter of Roland Anthony Cavanagh and Esther Ballard Cavanagh, the older of two children, sister to Roland Hale Cavanagh who passed away in 1998.

Bandits bind janitor, grab iPads FAIRFIELD (AP) — Police are looking for two robbers who bound a janitor with duct tape and made off with about $14,000 worth of computer tablets from a Northern California high school. The Vacaville Reporter (http://tinyurl.com/b6y5h w3) reports that the bandits made off with about 40 iPads during the Wednesday robbery at Fairfield's Sem Yeto Continuation School. Police say one of the robbers was armed with a handgun and confronted the janitor outside a building and threatened his life. After the janitor directed them to the iPads, the robbers bound him to a desk with duct tape. The janitor managed to free his hands and called police after the robbers fled. Wednesday's robbery was the third time since September that thieves have stolen iPads from the school. Waiver in both cases so that the court can consider all charges, including the 10 initial charges that will be dismissed, when the sentence is being considered by the judge, the release said. As a part of the deal with the Tehama County District Attorney's Office, charges against Kellie Froome are expected to be dropped at the sentencing and Ludwig will be working with Tehama County Probation to determine his eligibility for deferred entry judgment, Assistant District Attorney Matt Rogers said. If Ludwig is determined eligible for it, he would enter an 18-month program that upon completion would see the dismissal of the charge of possession of marijuana for sale, Rogers said. Froome's attorney, William Panzer, said the deal was reached under a West plea, in which the defendant has not admitted to wrongdoing, but a consent to be punished as guilty in order to avoid going to trial. In Froome's case, it was in his best interest to resolve the matter because of the cost to his family, Panzer said.

Storrey will end his time with the center at the low-cost spay and neuter clinics run by Peninsula that start tomorrow and run through the weekend. "I'm really looking forward to it," Storrey said. "We had people calling the night before it opened up and it filled up within two hours of us officially taking calls." Moving forward, Agricultural Commissioner and Animal Services Director Rick Gurrola and his staff will oversee the care center while the search for a candidate is on, Storrey said. The advertisement for the job started Thursday and will hopefully be filled sometime within the next two months, he said. "I'm confident the next person to have the job will continue the great work the team has already done and save more lives than ever before," Storrey said. One of the things he is proudest of is the change in spay and neuter policy the care center has brought about, which has dropped the adoption fee for dogs like 3-year-old pit bull Merida to $45. "We've really come out from under a black cloud and become part of the community," Storrey said. "We're changed the way we handle spays and neuters and more than ever we're a part of the solution and not a part of the problem." Several of the dogs like Merida, who Storrey said is his favorite in the entire center, have been spayed and neutered and are awaiting homes at the center, where some are housed three to a pen.

Asked whether he thought the tax charges were filed to force a deal, Panzer said he had "no doubt about it." "His personal taxes were up to date and the corporate taxes couldn't be done because his records had been seized and they weren't at his disposal," Panzer said. "I don't expect any jail time." If there is jail time, Panzer said Froome should be eligible for alternative sentencing, he said. "It has been devastating for them to go through this," Panzer said. "In the end, he'll probably walk away with a misdemeanor. It's a statement on our system that this has gone on. The DA here does not like prop 215." During the time the case has been going on, rulings were made that it is legal to allow a few members to grow for the rest of a medical marijuana collective and that those members can contribute financially, Panzer said. Froome and Ludwig will appear in court next at 9 a.m. on March 18. code and will need to plant a set amount of trees to offset carbon dioxide emissions. SHELTER SALMON 9A Storrey is hopeful that Merida, who is not doing well being in the shelter, will be adopted soon. She would do best in a home where she is the only dog and the owner has lots of time, love, patience and perseverance in dealing with her, he said. The care center also has several puppies, including a set of three nicknamed by staff the Hoovers, after Hoover vacuum. Staff members said the puppies were so starved when the three came in they had to feed them five pieces at a time to keep them from eating so fast they threw it back up. Those interested in seeing Merida, the Hoover puppies or any of the other Animal Care Center residents can call 527-3439. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.

Moyle noted that other fish, including Atlantic Salmon, sharks and tuna, are known to have magnetic particles in their bodies, which could figure in their ability to migrate long distances to return to a specific place. Some sharks, for instance, return to the same underwater mountains, which produce a change in the magnetic field. ''If you have the right equipment in the brain to detect these fields, it's like having your built-in GPS system,'' he said. Bay Area leaders consider merging region SAN JOSE (AP) — Hundreds of business and political leaders gathered in San Jose to consider the advantages of merging the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley into a single region, sharing everything from city dumps to water treatment plants as communities sprawl across borders. Leaders attending the State of the Valley conference Friday noted that Bay Area residents, businesses and local governments face the same challenges, from gridlock and earthquakes to steep housing prices and climate change.

Technology forecaster Paul Saffo told conference participants that sharing everything from landfills to police helicopters could make the entire area more efficient, save money and help businesses remain competitive. ''Powerful regions are the new basic unit of governments in the 21st centu- ry,'' said Saffo, pointing to Singapore and Hong Kong. ''City states are the powerful nexus of power, commerce, culture and identity.'' Stretching from the rolling vineyards in north Sonoma County to the sprawling estates of southern Santa Clara County, the Bay Area has 6.9 million residents living in 101 cities, centered in the techrich Silicon Valley and San Francisco. One simple start would be to get the 27 separate transit systems that residents currently navigate to look and feel like one, with the same paint, fares and a merged schedule, said Egon Terplan, a regional planning director at the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association.
