FLOOD (Continued from page 1A) warns, which is 10 times more than exists in funding from bond measures and other sources to shore up aging levies and dams. Already 800 flood projects have been identified. ''We realized that even those projects will not even provide the basic level of flood protection from 100-year and 500-year floods statewide,'' said Terri Wegener, manager of the Department of Water Resources statewide flood management program. The report released on the department website attempts to identify areas at risk so water managers can prioritize projects. The report by the department and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the first comprehensive look at flood dangers and impact across a state exposed to tsunamis on the coast to rapid snowmelt in Sierra watersheds. Authorities hope that it's used to guide future land-use and development decisions, as well as by policymakers charged with protecting state assets. ''The point is to raise awareness statewide,'' said Wegener. ''The risk is complex in California and it's important for people to understand.'' The report also con- siders the impacts that100-year and 500year floods could have on the more than 300 endangered and threatened plants and animals that live in some of the most at-risk regions and on flood plains altered by development. It recommends restoring natural ecosystems in some places to improve water movement. The department will hold a series of meetings across the state through April to talk about findings. ''We made recommendations for managing flood risk so we can inform decisions about policies and financial investments in the coming years and decades,'' Wegener said. 5A CHICK (Continued from page 1A) like Bob Jones, have helped the NorCal Poultry Association get started in putting on this big show. They remember the 1940s and 50s, when the Bay Area set up poultry shows, moving them around from the Cow Palace to state fairgrounds. There were 12 active private clubs for bird showing from San Diego to Humboldt. A sounding board was set up to solve problems, and revive interest in Heritage Breeds, which includes Java, Buckeye and Buttercups chickens. Jones said that the American Poultry Association, which was founded in 1874 in Boston, is Americas 1st Livestock Association. Tehama County resident Macy Skillman won best of breed with her white Wyandotte Opal, one of five birds she entered, Macy's mother Angie Skillman said. "This was my daughter's first ever poultry show and she took home a couple of ribbons," Skillman said. "Everyone was very friendly and patient with us (at the show) and we did enjoy the show. She was so delighted with the ribbons she took home." Macy, who is 8-years-old, also took a first place in the White Wyandotte Cock category and finished second and third with two of her other birds, Skillman said. The fifth bird did not place. Results from the show will be printed when received. For more information visit: NorCalpoultryassoc.homestead.com or call (530) 515-3051. ——— Staff Writer Julie Zeeb contributed to this article.

VEIN (Continued from page 1A) these veins no longer close allowing blood to leak back down the leg causing more distention of the vein. The Procedures Exercise, weight loss, elevation and compression stockings may alleviate symptoms of spider veins, varicose veins and CVI. Current treatment options have significantly improved over recent years. Sclerotherapy and endovenous ablation therapy are effective treatment options. Both treatments are low risk and share a minimal associated recovery time. Sclerotherapy is a technique which involves the use of a very fine needle to inject a solution directly into the veins. The solution causes the lining of the vein to swell, eventually sealing off the blood vessel and preventing blood flow.

Each vein may require 2-5 treatment sessions and most fade in two weeks to several months. Endovenous ablation therapy is a non-surgical alternative to vein stripping. A catheter is placed into the affected vein via puncture in the skin. Radio frequency energy is delivered to close off the vein as the catheter is withdrawn narrowing or closing the vein. Where will the procedure be performed? Most treatments will be performed as an outpatient surgical procedure and will be conducted in our Surgery Center at 2340 Liberty Parkway. Physicians with vascular surgery privileges at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital who are trained and experienced in performing the outpatient surgical procedures will be providing the treatment.

The seven people — two women and five men — had been camping in trees to protest construction of the Highway 101 bypass in Willits, a rural community about 140 miles north of San Francisco. Officials say the protesters were taken into custody beginning Tuesday morning through late Tuesday afternoon by dozens of California Highway Patrol officers who were lifted into the trees on cherry-pickers. A spokeswoman for the protesters says among those arrested was 24-year-old Amanda ''Warbler'' Senseman, the first protester to take to the trees on Jan. 28. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. Six people camping in trees to protest construction of a highway bypass in Mendocino County were arrested Tuesday by dozens of officers who were lifted into the trees on cherry-pickers. Armed with batons and bean-bag projectiles, the California Highway Patrol officers brought the nine-week demonstration to an end and cleared the way for crews to cut down the trees blocking construction, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported (http://bit.ly/Z5jG8t). Among those arrested was Amanda ''Warbler'' Senseman, 28, the first protester to take to the trees on Jan. 28, the newspaper said. Protesters said the tree-sitters and some people on the ground screamed and swore as some officers fired rubber bullets at the group. THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column circa 1942) When in Redding last week, I bought some gas from Hotuby Turner who is the manager of the big Standard Oil service station there. Redding has grown so fast that the company had to rebuild and expand the station four times in the last few years. Hotuby and I used to work together for Standard Oil here in Red Bluff 21 years ago. In those days service stations sold gas, oil and grease but no tires, radios, batteries nor accessories that make up a large part of their volume today. The new restrooms are the last word in service in that they have air conditioning for the summer and heaters in the winter. *** If you eat meat for energy you should occasionally eat liver. It has 10 times the amount of Vitamin B2 that beef or pork has. Liver used to be considered only good to feed cats. Maybe that's why cats got credit for 9 lives as they were too healthy to die. By the way, sales at our meat plant for the past 3 months are more than 25 times what they were in the corresponding period 9 years ago. Wish we could say the same for profits. *** Evidently this was not the first time people had to get along without rubber tires. A carriage found in an Egyptian tomb dating back 3400 years had tires on its wheels made of rawhide. *** When the Jehovah Witnesses had their trouble in Corning and wanted a warrant for the arrest of their adversary, the Justice of the Peace in Corning refused to give them one. They appealed to the District Attorney who also refused. As a last resort they appealed to the judge of the Superior Court who convened the Grand Jury. This case with the elements of religion and patriotism in it could hardly be settled satisfactorily to everyone. So it looks like the Grand Jury is the logical body to decide the merits of the case. Besides, they only serve this one term anyway. *** An allowance of 5 gallons of gas weekly is not so bad on the thickly populated east coast where you can hardly drive 10 miles there without coming to a large city. In the west things are much different. Towns are situated much further apart and it is not uncommon to find ranches 25 to 30 miles from the nearest town with a food store. One thing is for certain. Everyone will become more interested in the mileage they are getting from their cars. Mechanics say that an adjustment of your carburetor and your sparkplugs will increase your mileage 25%. *** Even the cows seem to be hoarding rubber. We often find nails and bolts and wire in the stomach of cows, but last week we found a 24 inch section of garden hose that one cow had swallowed.
