In February, Civil Engi- neer Steve Judson evaluat- ed the building. “The problem as it stands is the structure is an unreinforced masonry building with an old, job- built roof framing system that has been in service for many years,” Judson said in his report. “I cannot pre- dict the date and time of the ultimate failure of the building, but at some time in the future the building will collapse.” The collapse may be in 10 years or 10 minutes depending on the circum- stances, but ultimately the building as it stands will come down from high wind, earthquake or old under the influence of marijuana. Following Hartfield’s arrest, Aug. 12, search warrants were served at an address on Oro Chico Highway in Durham and Tiger Lily Drive in Forest Ranch. Marijuana was found at both locations, including several large tubs in Forest Ranch filled with processed weed. Agents also found a loaded 9 mm pistol at the ing empire under owner Graeme Hart.

Among defects of the building Judson noted that the trusses in the roof have a noticeable sag that is as much as eight inches of deflection. There is also the matter of the front wall, which had separated from and leans out away from the roof as much as four inches, he said. “Based on my inspec- tion ... the buildings are suffering basic failure of the lateral and gravity sup- port systems,” Judson said. “The front wall has lost structural capacity due to the lime and mortar failing and is in imminent danger of collapse in the event of a relatively minor seismic occurrence.” Several Corning resi- dents voiced opinions on the building, including Teresa Smith who said she hopes to see the building restored to an acceptable standard. “Everyone wants Corn- ing to be what it used to be,” Smith said. “They want businesses back in downtown and to make things look better, not torn over their own affairs, according to the League of California Cities. The bill also calls for the state to develop a review procedure to identify cities that provide com- pensation that exceeds what state law allows.

(AP) — The North American Aerospace Defense Command will send planes on training flights over northern California, northern Alberta and southwestern Alaska on Thursday. NORAD said Tuesday the planes will practice intercep- tion and identification procedures as well as responding to multiple threats. Officials say most residents won’t see or hear the exer- cise except in the Sacramento area. Residents there may see fighter jets near an Air Force C-21, a small cargo and pas- senger plane playing the role of a ‘‘track of interest.’’ NORAD, based at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., is a joint U.S.-Canadian command that patrols the skies over North America. Rocker Nugent pleads no contest to deer baiting MARYSVILLE (AP) — Rocker and celebrity hunter Ted Nugent is facing a $1,750 fine after plead- ing no contest in Northern California to baiting a deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag.

There’s other alter- natives (to tearing it down).” Smith said she would like to see the city get a second opinion from another engineer. Resident Gena Bowen reminded the city of the costs to keep up the prop- erty all so the city could “make money on land at a man and dying woman’s demise.” “We’re not into making money,” Strack said. “We would just recoup what we’ve put in.” Strack pointed out that buying the property for a dollar would be cheaper than the city going through the legal channels of get- ting the building demol- ished if someone else owned it.

De La Torre said he also is working on a bill to address ‘‘pen- sion spiking,’’ a practice in which municipal employees are granted a high final salary, which is then STATE BRIEFING California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Patrick Foy said game wardens saw Nugent kill an immature buck on a February episode of his Outdoor Channel TV show ‘‘Spirit of the Wild.’’ Investigators found that the deer had been eating bait called ‘‘C’mere Deer.’’ Baiting wildlife is illegal in California. Nugent originally faced 11 charges, including killing a deer too young to be hunted. In a deal with Yuba County prosecutors, attorney Jack Kopp entered no contest pleas Friday to the two misdemeanors on behalf of Nugent, who did not appear in court. BLM says dead foal not shot as advocates suspected RENO, Nev. (AP) — Holes in the carcass of a young foal found near a wild horse roundup in northeast Cal- ifornia and Nevada were the work of scavenger birds not gunshot wounds as horse protection advocates first claimed, federal officials said Tuesday. A veterinarian with the U.S. Agriculture Depart- ment’s Animal Plant Health Inspection Service exam- ined the foal on Saturday, two days after horse advo- cates opposed to the roundup found the animal and complained to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. “I don’t want to be owner of these buildings, but it could be the start of something new,” Parkins said. Councilman John Leach was not in favor of owning the building. “I don’t want to be a property owner,” Leach said. “I understand the necessity of liability, but I don’t want to buy that building.” One concern several residents voiced was what other solutions were being looked at. “I fell in love with this town and own a business on Solano Street,” said Amy White of Olive City Insurance. “I want to see it restored. Is knocking it down the only solution that’s been looked at?” A few solutions listed in Judson’s report included installing a new wall and foundation system throughout the building, removing the front wall and restructuring it with a new framing system or a combination of the differ- ent options. Removing the existing used to calculate their pension pay- ments. ‘‘By having those outlandish salaries, that triggers outlandish pensions,’’ De La Torre said. The California Public Employ- ees’ Retirement System, the nation’s largest public pension fund, has been meeting with law- makers to help craft the bills. building and rebuilding a smaller one to allow for parking in the rear of the building was suggested by Judson. “My idea is senior housing,” Kimbrough said. “Offer the building to non- profits (for them to build it), but that decision’s not for tonight. It will be brought back to council.” The two no votes were Ross Turner and Leach with Parkins and Strack voting yes to buying the building. “In my opinion no mat- ter which way the city of Corning goes we’re going to get screwed,” Turner said. “It’s going to come to the city come hell or high water.” The council meets the second and fourth Tues- days of the month at City Hall, 794 Third St. Meet- ing minutes and agendas are available at www.corn- ing.org. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com. Independently, CalPERS is reviewing the salaries of municipal employees statewide who earn more than $400,000 a year. Once that review is completed, CalPERS will expand the probe to those earning more than $245,000 a year. The pension fund intends to develop internal mechanisms to spot excessive salaries.

Hartfield was booked into the jail on suspicion of conspiracy to sell marijuana, sales of marijuana and child endangerment. Her bail was set at $90,000.

In April, Hart consoli- dated some of his holdings in the industry, looking to raise $1.75 billion so that Reynolds could buy two other companies that Hart already owned, U.S.-based Evergreen Packaging and a paper mill in the New Zealand city of Whakatane. Pactiv Corp. is the biggest addition yet. The company had annual rev- enue last year of close to $3.4 billion. The bigger of its two main divisions pro- vides packaging materials to food distributors and restaurants. The other sells Hefty trash bags and food containers. Reports that Pactiv was up for sale began surfacing in May. Citing unnamed sources familiar with the negotiations, The Wall Street Journal reported that investment firm Apol- lo Global Management and then paper and pack- aging company Georgia- Pacific Corp. also had pre- pared bids. Pactiv shares rose $1.68, or 5.4 percent, to $32.60.
