Published Friday, April 12, 2013, in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. Judges deny Calif. bid to end prison oversight SACRAMENTO (AP) — A federal judicial panel on Thursday denied Gov. Jerry Brown's request to lift a court-ordered prison population cap and threatened him and other state officials with contempt of court if they fail to comply. In its ruling, the three-judge panel singled out the Democratic governor for ignoring its earlier orders to reduce the state's inmate population to the level ordered by the federal courts. In January, Brown sought to end the long-running court oversight of California's prison system and promised to take his fight again to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. At the time, he decried the billions of dollars California is spending to improve inmate medical and mental health care, saying the court had ordered the state to create ''gold plate'' prisons that were siphoning money from public schools, colleges, social services and other programs. The judicial panel was unmoved. Naming Brown, it said state officials must take whatever steps are necessary to comply with the court's inmatereduction order by the end of this year or face the consequences.

Another man living in a unit across from the building said he heard the shots and thought at first it was workers, but came downstairs to see the officers walking up to the suspect. There were between seven and 10 shots, he said. Vista and Metteer schools in the area were not in lockdown, but "heightened awareness," Red Bluff Union Elementary School District Superintendent William McCoy said. That state was lifted by 9:30 a.m. after police informed the schools there was an incident and the suspect was in custody, McCoy said. "The district had reason to believe that emergency measures were necessary, those measures were enacted immediately," McCoy said. "Students were directed safely to the campuses and to the classrooms. While we did not enact a lockdown, we did take measures to keep students safe until we were directed that the situation was contained. Once we received notification from a law enforcement official that there was no imminent threat to our campuses, the schools returned to normal operation." While all students and family dropping them off were directed inside immediately, the doors were left unlocked to ensure anyone arriving could still get inside, McCoy said. "Vista was first to go into heightened awareness, followed by Metteer," McCoy said. "Our staff did a wonderful job ensuring the students safety. We would like to thank the police and law enforcement officials for their quick response during this situation, and in helping to insure the safety of our students. We would also like to thank our district families for their support and understanding as we continue to provide safe and secure campuses for our students." Vista Middle School was scheduled to hold a lockdown drill sometime next week, according to school staff. The Tehama County District Attorney and Sheriff's Department are investigating the incident with assistance from the Department of Justice forensic team out of Redding, which handled the crime scene. The investigation is early in the process and more information will be released as it unfolds, Nanfito said. A statement from the District Attorney's office is expected no earlier than sometime next week. "The key thing is the officers had less than lethal force available and we exhausted those," Nanfito said. "Ultimately, we had to use lethal force." facts believed to be related to the Nomlaki tribes in the area.

SHOT Continued from page 1A October 9,1930 - April 6, 2013 Bruce Cannon peacefully passed away in his new home April 6, 2013 in Red Bluff, California. He was born on a farm in Newton, Iowa and was raised during the Great Depression, the youngest of 5 sons. He broke his first team of horses at the age of 6 and stayed true to this love his entire life. He was involved in rodeo, training and breeding of show horses and also a Ferrier. He married his high school sweetheart Beverly at the age of 19 in Newton, Iowa. They lived there while farming and competing in rodeo, Bruce as a saddle bronc rider and Beveriy as a trick rider. In 1956 they moved to California, while they continued to rodeo. Bruce also worked as a contractor and as a stunt man in the western movie industry in Hollywood. In 1962 Bruce gave up rodeo and they moved to Palmdale, where Bruce began training, shoeing and breeding horses full time. After he and Bev divorced in 1970, Bruce met Barbara Mojonnier and her 2 children, Dustin and Michelle in 1979. In 1981, they moved to a 17 acre ranch in Cottonwood, CA where Bruce built his training facility and Cannon Stallion Station. He was able to train and breed with a covered arena, barn and a roping arena. Over the years, he and Barbara showed, bred and raised American Paint and Quarter Horses, winning the APHA Superior Horse Award in Cutting along with many other distinguished awards. They chose to raise their children in a ranch style life where he taught them to ride, rope and cut cattle. He spent many years on the road hauling up and down the state to Junior and High School rodeos where he shared his love of horses with his family. Bruce is survived by his wife, Barbara Cannon, and their two children, Michelle Ferreira her husband Frank Ferreira and their three children Kirra, Luciana and Frank, along with Dustin Mojonnier his wife Rachel Mojonnier and their two children Troy and Grace. Markham once wrote, "There's a destiny that makes us brothers, none goes his way alone; all that we give unto the lives of others comes back into our own". With his strong Christian faith and his ability to relate well, not only with animals, but with people, Bruce touched the lives of many. He had a simple "cowboy" philosophy based on past experiences in life, and coupled with his faith, he made life-long friends that he considered family. As you read this now and feel the sorrow of his passing, know that with you in his life, he was abundantly fulfilled. The family is planning a celebration of life on May 26, 2013 at 2PM at 1315 Lincoln St., Red Bluff 9A went off." King did not know whether any of the shots came from the officer entering the apartment or were all fired from below, he said. "It was pretty intense," King said. "My wife and son were witnesses to it as well. It was pretty damn close.... He didn't point anything at anybody. I don't understand why he was shot in the first place. It seemed unreal." King said there were children inside the apartment where the man was shot. "His hands were on the railing of the balcony for a long time,' King said. "He looked stressed out, looked like he was crying. I could tell he was a little frustrated. I can see bikes on the balcony and the number on building. That's how clear I could see everything."

In the beginning, it was used toward helping more women to receive mammograms and that resulted in a 26 percent increase, which is about 2,000 women, Smith said. This year, 100 percent will go toward a project to raise money for a new breast ultrasound machine that will allow for clearer images to be taken and a faster turn around in getting results.
