FAIR (Continued from page 1A) When interviewed, the man told him that he had been operating the scam for between five and six years, Clay said. ���Over the years, as the economy became bad, people have been taking advantage of it,��� Clay said. Within the last few months, there have been plenty of cases of counterfeit bills showing up at area businesses, he said. ���We���ve had a dozen or so within the last month I believe,��� Clay said. ���Mostly it���s the lower bills. People get a $5 and wash it, reprinting as a $20 or $50. With a $20 bill it gets checked a lot, but not a $5 or $10 bill.��� Even though a $5 or $10 bill might not be a lot in the end, it all adds up, he said. Tom Cunningham, an investigator for the statewide investigative fraud team with the Contractors State License Board was one of around a dozen agencies present. His agency sees fraud alot with unlicensed contractors who often don���t have worker���s compensation, which means they���re basically using their employees, Cunningham said. ���We try to educate the general public and encourage them to check our website before they hire someone,��� Cunningham said. In addition to checking the Contractors State License Board website, www.cslb.ca.gov or CheckTheLicenseFirst.com, the public should take at least three bids on any job, Cunningham said.

STATE BRIEFING Reward for murderous ex-cop causing controversy LOS ANGELES (AP) ��� As a cabin smoldered with the body of rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner inside, politicians in a city that lost an officer to his rampage approved a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. The Riverside City Council voted unanimously with little discussion and no debate, even after being told the fugitive���s demise was likely to be announced soon. News of the vote was dwarfed by Dorner���s death after a week on the run, but the city made headlines this week when it said it wouldn���t pay its slice of the massive $1.2 million that was pledged by more than two dozen entities and elicited hundreds of tips. Blame the fine print ��� the requirement of an arrest and conviction ��� for the latest wrinkle in the battle over the pot of money that remains unpaid more than six weeks later. As a probe into who should get the cash continues, competing claims for the money have led to finger pointing, and at least two of the 30 groups that backed the bounty have bowed out of the tortured process. A lawyer for the couple who called police after Dorner tied them up in their Big Bear Lake condominium and fled in their car shortly before his Feb. 12 death accused Riverside of reneging on an offer that was never genuinely made. ������The mayor knew full well that he wasn���t going to be convicted when he authorized the resolution,������ said attorney Kirk Hallam. ������It is completely disingenuous for him to stand up there now and say, ���Oh we weren���t legally authorized to issue this.��� Really? That���s not what you said when you offered the ordinance to the City Council after the facts were already known.������ Prosecutor to pay $50k for lawsuit SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ��� A Northern California prosecutor must pay the attorney fees of a bank she sued after she was arrested in a case of mistaken identity. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday tossed out Sharon Henry���s lawsuit, saying Bank of America employees called the police out of a reasonable belief that the San Mateo County deputy district attorney was trying to cash a bad check. The court also said Henry must pay the $50,000 the bank spent on attorney fees because a judge found she was trying to stifle the bank���s free speech rights by calling the police, according to The San Francisco Chronicle (http://tinyurl.com/bpyfqbu ). Henry���s bad day began in March 2008 when she attempted to deposit a $27,500 check from her domestic partner, Kathleen Wilkinson, in her own account and with- CARB (Continued from page 1A) show of business owners in the standing-room-only City Council chambers. ���I have never seen this room as full as it is tonight. That should say something to the people here,��� said Logue. Speakers said it is costing them thousands of dollars to meet emission regulations at a time when the economy has cut their income and banks won���t lend. However, big, out-of-state truck companies could come into the state with new trucks and take their business. Government incentives to update engines aren���t available to north-state business because of the guidelines, many said. Some asked that regulations affecting trucking operations with three or fewer trucks be delayed until 2023. Starting in January, those regulations will put small operations out of business, said speakers like driver Brian Rolfe. Small operations that can���t meet the state regulations either have to move out of state or close. Growers said they can���t leave. Angela Casler, who ran a trucking company for five years, but now teaches at Chico State University, said that the air emissions regulations actually create pollu- The staff at Red Bluff Simple Cremations would like to thank all of the families who trust us with their loved ones needs.

The bank called another customer named Kathleen Wilkinson, whose family could not identify Henry. The police were called and Henry was jailed for two hours until the misunderstanding was cleared up. Henry then filed a lawsuit, alleging negligence and false arrest. A trial court judge said the bank���s actions were reasonable and the police were relying on the bank���s initial belief that Henry was trying to cash a bad check. Bank of America declined to comment. Jose Luis Fuentes, an attorney for Henry, called the decision ������a travesty of justice������ and said his client was considering an appeal. Rare Calif. ���island night lizard��� makes a comeback SACRAMENTO (AP) ��� Federal wildlife officials are recommending that a rare California lizard be removed from the endangered species list, saying the reptile has recovered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Friday said that studies show the secretive island night lizard has benefited from years of recovery efforts. The lizard is found only on the Channel Islands off the Southern California coast. It was originally listed in 1977 after being brought to the edge of extinction invasive species like cats, goats and pigs introduced by humans. In the years since its listing, officials have removed the nonnative species from the islands, which led to the lizard���s recovery. The service has also recommended downgrading two plants from endangered to threatened: the San Clemente Island Indian paintbrush and San Clemente Island broom. Man pleads not guilty to murders EUREKA (AP) ��� A man accused of running down three joggers in Humboldt County, killing one, and slaying another woman at her home has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The Eureka Times-Standard (http://bit.ly/YNBHIq ) reports that Jason Warren entered the pleas Thursday in Humboldt County Superior Court. Prosecutors say Warren ran down the runners on Sept. 27, killing Humboldt State University geography professor Suzanna Seemann and injuring severely her two running partners. Warren is also accused of slaying 47year-old Dorothy Ulrich at her home. Her body was found during the hit-and-run investigation. He is charged with two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder plus special circumstances that could qualify him for the death penalty. tion. Elements of the approved equipment come from China and Canada because they can���t be made in the U.S. Casler also said government agencies have to work with small businesses for the future of the state. She said a new guideline was necessary: equal funding to all counties per capita of vehicles. Because of the north state's huge agriculture basis, diesel truck regulations have a larger impact, she noted. New technology and northstate innovation should be taken into account. Tony Hobbs of Baker Trucking in Willows complained about emission filters problems that have cost thousands of dollars in down time and extra expenses. Hobbs owns 30 trucks and employs 25 people. He apologized to the CARB representatives for being in grubby clothes because he had just gotten back from Redding. He had to take the truck filter there to be cleaned. The filter had given out after only a few thousand miles, he said. The 98 days the truck had been idled, either from the filter failure or the repair process, had cost him more than $8,000 in down time. He had bought eight trucks that were new to him in order to comply, unable to spend the $130,000 for a new truck. The filters make him use more gas. A government official told him to ���downsize,��� idling his noncompliant trucks. That means those drivers would be out of work, he pointed out. Urging the crowd to be ���polite��� to the CARB representatives, Logue said his goal for the meeting was to show what was being done to small businesses by CARB regulations. A familiar theme with Logue, who also previously brought state Labor Commissioner Julie Su to Chico, is that California regulations are driving companies out of business. He also has campaigned to have compliance of business regulations more on a fix-it ticket basis than the heavy fines the state now uses. Erik White, CARB mobile source control division assistant chief, said California's regulations are rooted in federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations. He noted that California would lose millions of transportation dollars if the regulations weren���t met. ���There is always the opportunity for the board to reconsider, but staff can���t force them,��� White told the audience, promising he would take the comments back to his board. He said they were not unfamiliar comments. White said some regula- A Celebration of Life honoring the late Linda Elsner will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2013, from 11am to 3pm at the Kelly-Griggs House Museum, located at 311 Washington Street in Red Bluff.

When deputies made contact with the occupants of the house, two men admitted to stealing the quads and hiding them in the back yard.

White noted that state incentive programs that had made $150 million available annually would sunset in 2014, and encouraged northstaters to support replacement bills. White said fleets that had been using emission equipment produced by Cleaire, which had filed for bankruptcy protection, would not be in jeopardy for compliance. The state is trying to help Cleaire come out of bankruptcy.
