Charles Laverne Ward, 51, of Paynes Anderson See THIRD, page 7A County business goes paperless By RICH GREENE DN Staff Writer Chairman Dennis Garton said Tuesday started a new chapter for Tehama County. It���s a chapter that will be written in many senses without paper and can be enjoyed from the comfort of one���s own home. The county officially launched a system of electronically submitted agenda items for board meetings streamed live and on demand audibly over and the Internet through its new partnership with IQM2, Inc. Garton said the new system should decrease agenda corrections and drastically cut down on staff preparation time and paper costs. He said Tuesday���s agenda packet for instance was more than 500 pages long. Having the board members and county employees use tablet and laptop computer devices instead of printing, would save a ream a paper a week. Audio of board meetings can be accessed in real time and on demand at the county���s web portal at See COUNTY, page 7A Courtesy photo By RICH GREENE DN Staff Writer Lassen Volcanic National Park Superintendent Darlene Koontz told the Tehama County Board of Supervisors Tuesday the park���s main road and campgrounds may be opened two weeks later than usual if the pending federal sequester cuts go forward. ���We���re hopeful they���ll come to a compromise,��� she said. Koontz said the park would have to cut about 5 percent of its budget and would likely lay off two full-time positions, delay the opening of the parks and keep the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center closed two days a week. She said the latter would affect about 1,100 school children who would otherwise visit the park. The park would lose about $156,000 in revenue with a delayed opening. ���I find that questionable,��� Tehama County Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin said of the park���s plan. Goodwin said in recent years the county has dealt with percentage budget cuts as high as double-digits, but had done everything it could to avoid cutting services to the public. U.S. Park Service Director Jon Jarvis asked superintendents last month to show by Feb. 11 how they would absorb the 5 percent funding cuts. The Associated Press obtained the memo. While not all 398 parks had submitted plans by the time the memo was written, a pattern of deep slashes that could harm resources and provide fewer protections for visitors has emerged similar to those expected at Lassen. In Yosemite National Park for example, park administrators fear that less frequent trash pickup would potentially attract bears into campgrounds. The cuts will be challenging considering they would be implemented See LASSEN, page 7A The 20th Annual Mr Spartan Pageant will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 2 in the Red Bluff High School Performing Arts Center.

The survey found that 61 percent of voters say it is more important to control guns and ammunition than to protect the rights of gun owners. It���s the biggest margin of support on that question since the Field Poll began asking it in 1999. In addition, more than eight in 10 voters favor spending more money to confiscate guns from convicted felons. Three-quarters favor permits and background checks for anyone buying ammunition. Roughly 60 percent favor a tax on bullets to fund violence-prevention programs, outlawing ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 bullets, and Man arrested in elder abuse case Call or visit the Job Training Center.
