Tuesday, July 9, 2013 – Daily News Obituaries LARRY KENNETH SAUNDERS December 1, 1943 - July 4, 2013 Larry Kenneth Saunders was born December 1, 1943 to Kenneth and Elizabeth Saunders in Bishop, CA. He passed into eternal life on July 4, 2013 in Yreka, CA after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Larry is survived by his wife of 40 years, Sharon, his beloved daughter Charity, son-in-law Stephen, grandchildren Wren, 9, Garrison, 6, and his namesake, Lara, 7 weeks. He is also survived by 'the son I never had' Lance Bickford and his family, his mother Elizabeth Saunders, mother-in-law Vivian Crader, nephews Brad Saunders, Jeff Grossen and Sean Davis, nieces Stacy Harrison, Cara Bibee, Heide Enos, Heather Davis, Heath Havlick, Jeri Sue Barnett, and their families and sisters-in-law Sandy EilerTrost and Susan Winters. Larry's greatest desires, in the last months of his life, were to meet his new granddaughter Lara and to see Alaska. The family is grateful that God granted him those wishes. Larry loved life, and above all, his family. His daughter Charity was truly 'the apple of his eye'. He loved to cook, hunt, fish, work on old cars and his old Victorian home as well as trips with the Serendipity Corvette Club. He was able to travel to all fifty states, Canada and Mexico. He taught his great niece Morgan to drive his 1976 Corvette and held her responsible for many whiplashes. Larry enjoyed working in the lumber industry and driving truck for Aggressive, but his passion was working with people affected by mental disease. Larry co-owned a residential treatment facility with his wife and enjoyed the many years they worked there. His compassion was unfailing; his goal was to help improve the quality of life for anyone he could assist-he never passed a street person without opening his wallet. The family is comforted knowing Larry was a born-again Christian, has left pain and suffering behind, and now resides with his Heavenly Father, his dad Ken, sister Helen and father-in-law Frank.

CalPERS to post 500,000 pensioners' data online SACRAMENTO (AP) — The nation's largest public pension fund says it will post nearly half a million pensioners' data online in an effort to be transparent while providing retirees with better protection. California Public Employees' Retirement System spokeswoman Amy Norris said Monday that the fund will launch a searchable pension database with information that is deemed public, such as a retiree's name, monthly gross pension payment and some employment history. Norris says the database is expected to go live next week. CalPERS recently sent a notice to retiree organizations saying that member data ''will remain better protected on our own website rather than on external databases kept by news or other organizations.'' The $260-billion pension system plans to only post retiree data, not beneficiaries or survivors who receive a monthly allowance.

What steps can be taken to strengthen the reserve? Eliggi: I'm not real concerned. It's a problem, but I'm not sure it won't rectify itself over time. The economy is looking a lot better — the taxes are going to be a little better. The city has cut pretty bare bones. They're trying to get their last consolidation together, but they had the split council — maybe with one more they can get that squared away and save some money.

Bill would cut health exchange secrecy SACRAMENTO (AP) — The state Senate on Monday approved a bill that would require California's health insurance exchange to make more information about the contracts it enters available to the public. The bipartisan legislation was introduced after an Associated Press report revealed the unique degree of privacy granted to Covered California. The exchange is allowed to conceal the terms of contracts for a year and the amounts paid indefinitely. Under SB332 by Senators Bill Emmerson, RRedlands, and Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, only contracts with health insurance plans could be withheld for a year. Payments in those contracts could be concealed for four years. Covered California plans to spend nearly $458 million on outside vendors by the end of 2014. An AP survey of the 16 other states that have opted for state-run marketplaces showed that the California agency was Wildfire shuts down highway in No. California KYBURZ (AP) — Authorities say a 20-acre wildfire has shut down a stretch of highway in Northern California. State fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said the blaze near the mountain community of Kyburz forced officials to shut down Highway 50 in both directions in El Dorado County. Kyburz is about 30 miles west of the California-Nevada state line, south of Lake Tahoe. According to an incident report, the fire began about a half mile east off the highway just before 1 p.m. Monday in the El Dorado National Forest. The highway was closed between Pollock Pines and Meyers. It was unclear whether any structures were threatened. At least two air tankers, one helicopter and eight engines were trying to contain the blaze. given powers that are the most restrictive in what information is required to be made public. Under current rules, exchange officials can keep secret board meeting minutes, employee training materials and records that reveal recommendations, research or strategy. SB332 also seeks to reverse those restrictions. Emmerson said exchange officials so far have complied with the California Public Records Act in responding to requests for infor- mation. ''Regardless, this bill is necessary to guarantee transparency in upcoming years,'' Emmerson said. In response to a previous AP public records request, the agency released information on a dozen competitively bid contracts issued since early 2011, including agreements involving marketing services and the creation of an enrollment system. The Senate passed the measure 33-0, sending it to the Assembly. Sardis Spangle 2/15/1933-6/28/2013 Today when I woke up this morning I just couldn't get out of bed. The most important part of my being was no longer with me. As I lay there embracing his pillow trying to soak in his scent I realize he is no longer here on Earth, but now an angel among us. It was the first time in a while I slept in my bed because I slept right next to my hero for so long. The battle was hard and long and he was a trooper never once complained about what he was going through. He took it all in stride because that is what type of man he was. Always for others first never for him. Yesterday I lost my best friend, my hero, my Daddy! Rest in peace sweet man I hope you know just what you meant to me and to all you touched. We will meet again Dad, but next time it will be forever and I will be getting my wings too (glitter and all). I miss you every moment Dad!! You held me up on Earth and you are holding me up now. Until I see you again, see you later!! I Love You more than life!! Rest in peace Dad, you will forever be my HERO, my BEST FRIEND, my EVERYTHING!
