Wednesday, March 13, 2013 ��� Daily News 5B Second Amendment advocates honor Senator Jim Nielsen At their annual gathering in Ontario, the California Rifle and Pistol Association presented State Senator Jim Nielsen with their highest honor ��� 'Outstanding Legislator of the Year.' ���The right to bear arms is a fundamental right bestowed upon the Nielsen people of this country,��� said Sen. Jim Nielsen (RGerber) ���Responsible gun ownership is not only for sport but a matter of public safety. Convicted criminals are being let out earlier under the state���s public safety realignment and local law enforcement officials lack the resources to fully protect our families and our property from these dangerous criminals.��� The California Rifle and Pistol Association���s President Jim Shea applauded Nielsen���s strong commitment to protect the rights of gun owners and the key role he plays in the Legislature. ���Sen. Nielsen has a reputation for taking a very principled approach to his work in the legislature,��� Shea said. ���We appreciate his understanding of our principles and for fiercely fighting to protect our rights.��� Founded way back in 1875, the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) is an organization of sportsmen dedicated to the preservation of our American heritage. In this age of constant political attacks on the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms for legiti- shooters, teaching firearms safety, and supporting state teams to the national championships each year. Nielsen represents the Fourth Senate District, which includes the counties of Butte, Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity and Yuba. To contact Senator Nielsen call him at 916-6514004 or email senator.nielsen@senate.ca.gov.

Reclamation reschedules public meeting SACRAMENTO ��� The Bureau of Reclamation���s Mid-Pacific Region has rescheduled the March 15 public meeting to update the public on the current status of the ongoing Cost Allocation Study for the Central Valley Project. The meeting is rescheduled to 1-3 p.m. Friday, May 17, at the Federal Building, 2800 Cottage Way, Cafeteria Conference Rooms C1001-C1002 in Sacramento. In 2010, the Region began a process to develop a new cost allocation for the CVP. Cost allocation is a process to determine and distribute the costs of the multi-purpose CVP facilities among the seven congressionally authorized purposes: water supply, flood control, naviga- tion, power, fish and wildlife, recreation and water quality. The cost obligation for each authorized purpose will be determined and will be the basis for repayment requirements for irrigation contractors, municipal and industrial contractors and commercial power contractors. The last major CVP cost allocation was completed in 1970, with a minor update in 1975. The 1975 allocation has since been subject to minimal annual changes related to project water and power uses. The new allocation will replace the 1975 allocation in its entirety. Reclamation is leading the study in coordination with other federal organizations including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Western Area Power Administration. The study is expected to be completed in 2016. For questions, contact Brooke MillerLevy, Project Manager, at 916-978-5296 (TTY 916-978-5608) or bmillerlevy@usbr.gov. To request special assistance to attend the workshop or to be added to the email notification list, please contact Janet Sierzputowski at 916-9785112 or jsierzputowski@usbr.gov. Please visit the project website at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/CVP/CVP-CAS for additional information on the study. All meeting materials will be posted on the website the day before the meeting.
