Bill would expand state's gun-storage requirement SACRAMENTO (AP) — A bill that appears headed to the governor would require gun owners to lock up their weapons if they live with a convicted felon or anyone else who is prohibited from owning a firearm. The legislation from Sen. Rod Wright, D-Inglewood, expands the state's gun-storage law to those who know or should know they are living with someone who is not allowed to possess a firearm. SB363 heads back to the Senate for a final vote after passing the Assembly on a 62-8 vote Tuesday. The state's list of people who cannot legally own weapons includes those who have a felony or violent misdemeanor conviction; a determination that they are mentally unstable; or a domestic violence restraining order. The list is confidential and used for law-enforcement purposes. If their weapon is used in a crime committed by a prohibited person, a gun owner could face fines and jail time. The legislation is among a series of gun-control bills introduced this year in response to the mass shootings in Connecticut and Colorado. New York and other states also have approved tough firearms laws this year. Supporters, including the California Police Chiefs Association, say the requirement would help prevent unlawful access to guns. ''When you take on the responsibility of owning pistols and rifles, you take on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of those weapons,'' said Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, R-Oceanside, who was among roughly a dozen Republicans supporting the bill. But Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, said the bill would hold people accountable for crimes in which they had no direct involvement. ''If somebody drives drunk, you don't hold the spouse accountable for that which someone else has committed,'' Donnelly said. ''It just doesn't make any sense.'' Calif. clears same-sex weddings for prison inmates SACRAMENTO (AP) — California prison officials have confirmed that inmates can get married to someone of the same sex under certain conditions. Michael Stainer, director of the adult institutions division for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations, issued a memo on Friday stating that the U.S. Supreme Court decision that made same-sex marriages legal again in the state in June also applies to prisoners. But Stainer says gay or bisexual inmates will only be allowed to marry same-sex partners who are not incarcerated and only during prison ceremonies. He says marriages between two prisoners would raise too many security concerns. Assemblyman Tom Ammiano said Monday that Steiner's directive was prompted by an inquiry from his office.

''There's no problem in our having the language that has zero capacity for American troops on the ground,'' said Secretary of State John Kerry, one of three senior officials to make the case for military intervention at the committee's hearing. Kerry had said earlier in the hearing that he'd prefer not to have such language, hypothesizing the potential need for sending ground troops ''in the event Syria imploded'' or to prevent its chemical weapons cache from falling into the hands of a terrorist organization. ''President Obama is not asking America to go to war,'' Kerry said in a strongly worded opening statement. He added, ''This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter.'' Obama said earlier in the day he was open to revisions in the relatively broad request the White House made over the weekend. He expressed confidence Congress would respond to his call for support and said Assad's action ''poses a serious national security threat to the United States and to the region.'' The administration says 1,429 died from the attack on Aug. 21 in a Damascus suburb. Casualty estimates by other groups are far lower, and Assad's government blames the episode on rebels who have been seeking to overthrow his government in a civil war that began over two years ago. A United Nations inspection team is awaiting lab results on tissue and soil samples it collected while in the country before completing a closely watched report. The president met top lawmakers at the White House before embarking on an overseas trip to Sweden and Russia, leaving the principal lobbying at home for the next few days to Vice President Joe Biden and other members of his administration. Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sat shoulder-toshoulder at the Senate committee hearing while, a few hundred miles away, United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon urged caution. He said any punitive action against Syria could unleash more turmoil and bloodshed, and he advised that such strikes would be legal only in self-defense under the U.N. Charter or if approved by the organization's Security Council. Russia and China have repeatedly used their veto power in the council to block action against Assad.

His father and most of his siblings are citizens, but the sluggish federal visa process for Mexican immigrants has slowed his bid for legal status. At the current pace, Garcia, who is too old for a federal program that aids some illegally brought into the country as youths, estimates he will not get his green card until about 2019 — and he does not want to wait that long to be eligible to be a lawyer. To Garcia's supporters, his case is a prime example of a Mexican immigrant who has done all the Israel and the U.S. conducted a joint missile test over the Mediterranean in a display of military might in the region. Obama set the fastpaced events in motion on Saturday, when he unexpectedly stepped back from ordering a military strike under his own authority and announced he would seek congressional approval. Recent presidents have all claimed the authority to undertake limited military action without congressional backing. Some have followed up with such action. Obama said he, too, believes he has that authority, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said during the day that even Congress' refusal to authorize the president wouldn't negate the power of the commander in chief. Still, the president also has stated that the United States will be stronger if lawmakers grant their support. But neither Obama nor his aides has been willing to state what options would be left to him should Congress reject his call. As Obama has often noted, the country is weary of war after more than a decade of combat deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there is residual skepticism a decade after Bush administration claims went unproven that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.

In her legal brief, Harris wrote admitting Garcia to the bar is "consistent with state and federal policy that encourages immigrants, both documented and undocumented, to contribute to society." But the Justice Department argues it simply conflicts with federal immigration law to give any professional license to an immigrant here illegally. And critics say it would send a bad message. "Garcia is not qualified to practice law because he continually violates federal law by his presence in the United States," former State Bar prosecutor Larry DeSha told the state Supreme Court in court papers. Legal scholars say the case puts the state's high court in uncharted territo- Bill would make it illegal to bar lifesaving help SACRAMENTO (AP) — Lawmakers are sending a bill to Gov. Jerry Brown that would bar employers from having policies that prohibit offering life-saving medical help in an emergency. Assemblyman Rudy Salas introduced AB644 after the death of an 87-year-old woman at a Bakersfield retirement home in February. The case sparked outrage when a nurse was heard on a 911 call saying her company policy prevented her from performing CPR on the collapsed woman. The Senate unanimously approved the Bakersfield Democrat's bill on Tuesday. Democratic Assemblywoman Norma Torres of Pomona says the legislation would prevent employees from being placed in the difficult position of having to ''choose between saving a fellow citizen's life and being fired for breaking a company's policy.'' The nursing home owner later said the staffer misinterpreted its policy. The staff at Red Bluff Simple Cremations would like to thank all of the families who trust us with their loved ones needs. Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service 527-1732 722 Oak Street, Red Bluff, FD Lic. 1931 5A of polls indicates the public opposes a military strike against Syria, by a margin of 59-36 percent if the United States acts unilaterally, according to a new Washington PostABC survey, and a narrower 46-51 if allies take part. Among major allies, only France has publicly offered to join the United States in a strike, although President Francois Hollande says he will await Congress' decision. The British House of Commons rejected a military strike last week. Yet the president's decision to seek congressional approval presents lawmakers with a challenge, as well. Even some of Obama's sternest critics in Congress expressed strong concerns about the repercussions of a failure to act. House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, R-Va., said after Tuesday's White House meeting that a failure to respond to the use of chemical weapons ''only increases the likelihood of future WMD (weapons of mass destruction) use by the regime, transfer to Hezbollah, or acquisition by al-Qaida.'' America's largest proIsrael organization, AIPAC, also announced its support for legislation to authorize a military strike. Apart from the meeting with Obama, the White House provided closeddoor briefings for members of Congress. at the site of the library.

"There is a policy tension," said Hiroshi Motomura, a UCLA law professor who supports Garcia's right to a law license. "I think this is a very technical legal argument. Congress left the power to the states to grant him a license." The Supreme Court has 90 days to rule after the arguments. For Garcia, that is a comparatively short wait, given the time it has taken for his legal battle to reach this point and his encounters with the immigration process. In the meantime, he has been working as a motivational speaker, particularly to youth, and has notified immigration authorities of his citizenship status so he no longer worries about a knock on the door with an order to be removed from the country. "I'm very excited to get my day in court," Garcia said. THE PASSING PARADE (From the Dave Minch I Say column circa 1939) It has long been the custom in countries ruled by dictators, that when conditions become unsatisfactory and people begin to talk about a change in the government, that the dictators would scare up a war against some other country. This nearly always works. It takes the people's mind off their own troubles and stops unemployment, at least temporarily. Two or three months ago, people were becoming unsatisfied in this country and unemployment was very high. There was a lot of talk whether our administration experiments had helped us or not. Newspapers were talking it up and the chances for another democratic landslide in 1940 looked very slim. Along came a big issue; whether or not we, as a nation, should enter the European war by repealing our neutrality act. Immediately discussion switched from condemning our administration to pro and con discussions of the neutrality act. I was very much against repealing it, but now that it has been repealed, I know we will have a fast diminishing unemployment problem and a wave of prosperity that will be caused by the flow of our steel, airplanes, munitions, pork etc. to European countries and a cinch that we will have a democratic administration after 1940. I want to bring these conclusions to you: First, we are already in the European war. France alone claims we have sent them the equivalent of a half a million men by sending manufactured munitions and releasing that many of their men to go to the trenches. Secondly, whoever wins the war, in the end, the munitions manufacturers will be the only real winners. And third, I think we missed a golden opportunity to collect the money that France and England owes us at this time. Notice I did not say anything during my writings against repeal of the neutrality act about the fact that the munitions manufacturing Duponts knew what they were doing when their daughter married into the Roosevelt family. *** A new communication system has been installed at our plant which saves a lot of time.

One blast of the horn was for Dave Minch, two was for his brother Stanley on the kill floor and so on. I was pleased when I advanced to the one blast status…as brief as that status now seems to have been.
