Published Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013, in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. CITY would provide all residential customers with a 96gallon wheeled yard waste cart. That program would have a phased in price of $0.75 per month for the first year for residential customers and an additional $0.75 increase per month in the second year. In a letter to City Manager Richard Crabtree GreenWaste trumpets the yard waste cart program. ���This change would reduce the amount of green waste ending up in the streets and in the trash. Having a yard waste container will encourage additional green waste recycling and help the overall recycling diversion rates,��� the letter reads. The letter continues that the program would support the city���s desire to switch from a summer to winter street sweeping schedule. Pool funding Funding for the operational costs of McGlynn Pool is once again on the agenda. City staff is asking for a supplemental budget appropriation of $29,200 from the general fund to pay for operation and maintenance of the pool through the remaining budget year. The swimming pool account has a deficit of around $8,300. An additional $8,000 is needed to maintain the pool following its recent fiberglass lining until the swimming season opens the second week of June. Staff has estimated the budget will be an additional $12,900 short based on last year���s pool attendance and staff costs. The council has previously directed that general fund dollars not be spent on pool operations. The non-profit Blues for the Pool has in the past donated money to pay for operational costs, but since the resurfacing project has indicated its donations will only be made for enhancement and improvement projects.

It was a no brainer. I got to watch last year for the first time and it brought tears to my eyes. My kids have grown up with it, but to see those who have not been exposed to it participate, it���s pretty awesome.��� Meadows said she is expecting between 20 and 30 participants. In past years, the event has drawn spectators from as far Dorner was hiding in nearby condo during manhunt SAN BERNARDINO (AP) ��� Fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner apparently killed himself as the cabin he was barricaded in caught fire following a shootout with officers, police revealed Friday while also confirming he spent most of his time on the run in a condominium just steps away from the command center set up to find him. "The information that we have right now seems to indicate that the wound that took Christopher Dorner's life was self-inflicted," sheriff's Cpt. Kevin Lacy told reporters at a news conference. Authorities initially were unsure whether Dorner killed himself, had been struck by a deputy's bullet or had died in a fire that engulfed the cabin during the shootout, which included police sending tear gas canisters inside. The search for Dorner began last week after authorities said he had launched a deadly revenge campaign against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing, warning in a manifesto posted on Facebook that he would bring "warfare" to LAPD officers and their families. Within days he apparently killed four people, including two police officers. He killed the daughter of a former Los Angeles Police Department cap- tain and her fiance Feb. 3 and later a Riverside police officer he ambushed at a traffic light. He then disappeared into the San Bernardino National Forest four days later, leaving his burnedout truck with a broken axle near the mountain resort of Big Bear Lake. His fourth victim was a sheriff's deputy killed in Tuesday's shootout. Until then, Dorner had managed to elude one of the largest manhunts in California history, one that employed heat-seeking helicopters and bloodhounds. Sheriff John McMahon said Friday that authorities now believe Dorner was hiding all that time in a condo within 100 yards of a command post they had set up for the manhunt. Karen and Jim Reynolds found Dorner inside their vacant cabin-style condo Tuesday when they entered to clean it. The couple had left the door unlocked Thursday for a maintenance man, McMahon said, and that's apparently how Dorner got in, locking the door behind him. When authorities stopped at the condo during their door-to-door search of the Big Bear Lake area that Thursday night, the door was locked and no one answered, McMahon said. "Our deputy knocked on that door and did not get an answer, and in hindsight it's probably a good thing that he did not answer based on his actions before and after that event," the sheriff said of Dorner. When the couple arrived Tuesday, Jim Reynolds said Dorner confronted them with a drawn gun, "jumped out and hollered 'stay calm.'" Dorner bound their arms and legs with plastic ties, gagged them with towels and covered their heads with pillowcases and fled in their purple Nissan, but Karen Reynolds soon got free and called 911. "I really thought it could be the end," she said afterward. Law enforcement officers, who had gathered outside the cabin for daily for briefings, were stunned that Donner was watching from just across the street. One official later looking on Google Earth exclaimed that he'd parked right across the street from the Reynoldses' condo each day. Timothy Clemente, a retired FBI SWAT team leader who was part of the search for Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph, said searchers had to work methodically. When there's a hot pursuit, they can run after a suspect into a building. But in a manhunt, the search has to slow down and police have to have a reason to enter a building. "You can't just kick in every door," he said. away as Sacramento to come watch family members participate. Cargill/Nutrena set up the Special Rodeo free of charge and open to the public as a way to give back to the community and to give high school contestants an opportunity to share their love of the sport.

Senators urged Sierra Club to not delay Tahoe plan SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (AP) ��� U.S. Sens. Harry Reid and Dianne Feinstein urged the Sierra Club not to delay implementation of a new plan to guide future development at Lake Tahoe ��� shortly before the environmental group sued over it. Reid, D-Nev., and Feinstein, D-Calif., in a Feb. 1 letter to the Sierra Club, warned that millions of dollars in federal funding and the very existence of the bi-state Tahoe Regional Planning Agency could be jeopardized by delays in implementing the agency's new regional plan. The Sierra Club and Friends of the West Shore filed a lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Sacramento. The group claimed the rules that the agency adopted in December will erode environmental protection of the mountain lake by allowing denser development and giving more control to local governments. Reid and Feinstein urged the Sierra Club to "refrain from any actions that might result in the dissolution of the bi-state compact or set back our efforts to pass legislation to help restore lake clarity." "The adoption of the plan is the result of nearly a decade of work by TRPA, local government, residents, business owners and environmental groups and takes into account more than 5,000 public comments," the senators wrote in the letter obtained by the Tahoe Daily Tribune. Brown lets stand 80 pct of killer parole decisions SACRAMENTO (AP) ��� A new report shows Gov. Jerry Brown let stand 80 percent of a state board's decisions to parole murderers from California prisons. Brown's office on Friday released the annual report on the governor's reviews of 470 decisions made by the Board of Parole Hearings to free convicted killers in 2012. It showed Brown reversed 91 parole decisions, sent two cases back for reconsideration and let the others stand.

By contrast, former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger allowed about a quarter of the recommended paroles to stand, while former Democratic Gov. Gray Davis allowed just 2 percent. Governor's spokesman Evan Westrup notes in 2011 state courts overturned nearly three-quarters of 144 Schwarzenegger reversals that were challenged.
