The city of Red Bluff had banned mobile food vendors in 2000, grandfathering three taco trucks out of the ordinance after being asked by the FBI to allow two of them to remain open while a criminal case was being built. The third taco truck has operated legally. In 2009 the city lifted its ban on mobile food vendors, by creating a procedure to obtain a use permit as well as a list of standards for future vendors. Those standards include dedicated parking spaces and maximum hours, required healthy, safety and fire inspection permits and, in some cases, restroom access. City staff is requesting a portable toilet not be located at the site due to its prime visibility from Main Street. Bold turkey: Woman hits cop to kick smoking habit SACRAMENTO (AP) — Think you've heard of every way possible to quit smoking? Etta Mae Lopez came up with a new one: slap a cop and go to jail, where smoking isn't allowed. Lopez smacked Sacramento County sheriff's Deputy Matt Campoy in the face Tuesday as he left the main jail at the end of his shift. He grabbed her and took her inside the jail, where she slapped his arm as soon as he turned her loose. Once she was handcuffed, the 5-foot 1-inch Lopez told Campoy she picked him because he was in uniform and she wanted to make sure she struck a law enforcement officer. ''She waited all day for a deputy to come out because she knew if she assaulted a deputy she would go to jail and be inside long enough to quit her smoking habit,'' Campoy told The Sacramento Bee. Being Faire and Sidewalk Sale, which is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today. Nason's goal is to get everyone in Tehama County involved," she said. "We strongly believe that because this is a community event it's good to get our entire community involved, including our kids," Nason said. "Remember, if we get 50 cents from each person in Tehama County we'll have our Fourth of July Fireworks." The group has approached schools about participating in a recycling effort in cooperation with Big Foot Recycling. "Ultimately, we are looking for a long term solution for raising fireworks funds each year," Nason said. "If every kid and adult in Tehama County gets in the habit of saving and recycling their cans and donating what they make to the fireworks fund, we'll be able to make our $30,000 goal." To make the goal, it equates to about 10 cans per person, she said. The details are still in the works for schools, but Nason hopes the class with the most participants from each grade would win either a pizza or ice cream party, she said. There is even the possibility of having the top recycler press the button to start the fireworks show, Nason said. Aluminum cans, plastic and glass beverage containers and anything with CRV is accepted at three sites in Red Bluff — 460 Antelope Blvd., 854 Jackson St. and 725 S. Main St. — and one site in Rancho Tehama, 17115 Rancho Tehama Road. Businesses and groups generating large amounts of recycling can call Nason at 690-2034 about a free pickup.

Joan Miller said she has not spoken to her son since the manhunt began. ''Heck, no. I honestly don't know a thing. This is craziness,'' she said. Miller has been described by authorities as armed and extremely dangerous. Kent said detectives continue to search his home, where the killings occurred, for evidence and clues as to where Miller might have been headed.

"Half of our birds have been stolen this year and that is unusual," Haase said. "We built them to last for many years and were looking forward to being able to use them again and again. The whole point of this organization is to keep kids safe on their graduation night. A place where graduating seniors can win great prizes that night, but we need to raise funds to be able to provide the prizes." Miller grew up in coastal Humboldt County, and authorities say his ability to fortify himself in the mountainous area called the ''Lost Coast'' makes searchers vulnerable. ''It would be easy to hide out up there,'' said local resident Phil Franklin, one of hundreds ordered to lock their doors and shelter in place as the manhunt expands. To imagine the ruggedness of the landscape, think ''Jurassic Park'' because some of the movie was filmed there. Many residents live off the grid on unmarked back roads often shrouded in a coastal fog. Like Franklin, most Lost Coast residents are armed because law enforcement patrols are rare on the peninsula that juts into the The staff at Red Bluff Simple Cremations would like to thank all of the families who trust us with their loved ones needs.

''We all contact each other if something occurs so we can coordinate help.'' Miller is familiar to law enforcement. He once tried to make a living growing one of the region's biggest cash crops — marijuana. In 1996, he was convicted of felony cultivation in a county known worldwide for the high quality pot grown in the same hard-to-reach forests authorities now are combing. In 2002, Miller was charged in San Francisco with making and selling marijuana for distribution, being a felon in possession of a firearm, possessing a machine gun and money laundering, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a gun and was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison. He was released in May 2007, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons. Miller served 46 months in federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm, court records show.
