Penalty may increase for sex offenders who cut GPS SACRAMENTO (AP) — Sex-offender parolees who remove or disable their satellite-linked tracking devices would face increased penalties under a bill approved by the state Senate. Lawmakers of both parties say offenders sometimes face little punishment for removing their GPS-equipped ankle bracelets. A law passed two years ago to ease prison overcrowding sends parole violators to county jails instead of state prison. But many violators serve little or no time because jails have become overwhelmed. Democratic Sen. Ted Lieu of Torrance says the offenders are more likely to commit new crimes if their whereabouts are not being monitored. His SB57 would require six months in county jail for a first offense and up to three years in state prison for repeat offenders. The bill passed unanimously Tuesday and goes to the Assembly. Damage estimate from rural NorCal quake tops $1M QUINCY (AP) — Officials in a part of rural northeastern California that was shaken by a magnitude-5.7 earthquake last week are estimating that the temblor caused more than $1 million in damage. Plumas County Office of Emergency Services Director Jerry Sipe said Tuesday that more than 50 homes in the Lake Almanor basin were damaged during the quake on Thursday night. The basin occupies a rugged region where the Sierra and Cascade mountains meet. Sipe says broken and toppled chimneys were the most common type of damage, but that the quake also broke decks, porches and windows. Some homes suffered flooding and water damage, and one was lifted off its foundation. The earthquake ruptured a tank that supplies residential drinking water, but an advisory instructing customers to boil their drinking water was lifted over the weekend. Bill protects immigrants from employer retaliation SACRAMENTO (AP) — It would be illegal for employers to report workers to immigration authorities in retaliation for a work-related complaint under a bill approved by the state Senate. Current law lets workers complain to state authorities if they are underpaid or experience unsafe work conditions. But Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg says the employees have no recourse if their employer attempts to have them deported in response to a complaint. His SB666 would prohibit that retaliation, although employers could report a worker's immigration status for other reasons.

Calif. bill would expand who can perform abortions SACRAMENTO (AP) — Women could go to a medical professional other than a doctor to end some pregnancies under a bill advancing through the state Legislature. The bill by Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, would allow nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and physician's assistants to perform socalled aspiration abortions during the first trimester. The method involves inserting a tube and using suction to terminate a pregnancy. Atkins said her bill, AB154, would help expand access to abortion services in areas of the state that have few physicians. Half of California's counties do not have abortion providers, she said. ''The growing shortage of abortion providers creates a significant barrier for women's access,'' Atkins said. ''Authorizing trained health professionals to provide early abortion services removes those barriers.'' Under a state pilot pro- gram created in 2007, 8,000 aspiration abortions have been provided by non-doctors. Legislation approved last year extended that program until January. Four states — Oregon, Montana, Vermont and New Hampshire — already allow nurse practitioners to perform these abortions. Nurse practitioners also are allowed under state law to administer medicine to induce an abortion. Republicans said expanding who can perform abortions would increase the risk to patients. Comparing abortion to outpatient surgeries, they said women should have health professionals with the most training performing their abortion procedures. ''Just because we are more rural, just because we are higher in poverty, does not mean we deserve less access to high-quality medical care,'' said Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, RModesto. Atkins and other supporters said data from the trial showed both doctors and non-doctors performing the procedures with error rates of less than 2 percent. THE PASSING PARADE (Continuing an obituary for Gordon Robertson, 19272012, a Red Bluff High graduate who went on to teach high school and become a guidance counselor in London for many years. A eulogy given by Tom, a former student, continues) "Gordon and his wife Lois loved England and took full advantage of the opportunities available to expatriates. Vacations usually involved travel to yet another destination. They visited just about every National Trust property existing in England and could always tell you where to get the best cream teas. Their home was a source of great pleasure to them and they welcomed their friends to this idyllic setting with warmth and graciousness that put everyone at ease. When retirement came, Gordon was happy to return to the States and take up residence in his wife's hometown of St. Louis Park in Minnesota. When I first visited their gracious home I was amazed that it was so like their home in England. And just like England they had wonderful neighbors. It shouldn't come as a surprise that someone who had spent nearly their entire adult life bringing out the best in people would once again find himself surrounded by the best people. Gordon was a friend beyond measure. He gave his time unstintingly when help was needed and waved off thanks with "It was nothing…honestly…it was nothing". He added richness to the many lives he touched and always seemed surprised by gratitude. He gave much to so many in this world and will be remembered with great fondness." So ends Tom's eulogy. I have quoted Tom's letter extensively because it is fine example, in my opinion, of what a thorough obituary and a loving eulogy should look like. Too many times, obituaries in particular, give chapter and verse regarding the deceased occupation, and usually a complete accounting of all remaining relatives, but seldom dig deep into the heart and soul of the departed. It is one thing to report that one loved his dog and enjoyed fishing. It is quite another to list his or her failures as well as successes. In other words, the writers should demonstrate what made the person he was…if that knowledge was at hand. Ideally, a person should write their own obituary. Their own eulogy might be a bit much. By all odds, Gordon lived the good life by living abroad with his wife Lois, and enjoying the good things of literature and culture. But then the quote "Envy no man until he has had a good death", comes to mind. With one exception, we can envy Gordon. The last four years of their married life, he lovingly cared for his wife who was in the throes of Alzheimer's. This was a trial for him as eventually she failed to recognize him. 6 months after her demise, he too passed away. The medical report read he died of cancer, but perhaps he found life without Lois too much of a struggle to continue. R.I.P. Gordon, old pal.
