Other agenda items • The Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce will give the council an update on chamber activ- ity. • Public Works Director Mark Barthel will ask for permission to advertise for bids to replace the air condi- tioner and carpet in office buildings at the airport. • Nanfito will ask for approval to recruit and hire police officers. At least six officers are planning to leave the depart- ment, with half of those departures most likely hap- pening in the next 4-6 weeks, according to a report by Nanfito. Those departing are seeking positions with other law enforcement agencies.

California Corrections spokesman Gordon Hin- kle says Loren Herzog arrived outside High Desert State Prison in Susanville on Saturday after he was paroled from a Southern California prison. Herzog was originally sentenced to 78 years in prison for a series of killings in the rural San Joaquin County region during the 1980s and 90s. But the sentence was reduced after an appeals court rejected the 2003 conviction and sentence, ruling that Herzog’s state- ments were illegally coerced. He’s being paroled 200 miles from his former home, prompting protests from Lassen County resi- dents and officials.

Lawsuits seek to compensate college athletes SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Basketball star Ed O’Bannon and quarterback Sam Keller each earned most valuable player awards during their collegiate careers. Now, years after playing their final games, they are pursuing what they consider a more significant collegiate legacy. They are attempt- ing through federal lawsuits to force the NCAA to share its annual rev- enues with student-athletes. ‘‘There are millions and millions of dollars being made off the sweat and grind of the student athlete,’’ O’Bannon said. ‘‘Student athletes see none of that other than their edu- cation.’’ O’Bannon’s lawsuit seeks a share of the money the NCAA earns from licensing former play- ers’ images in commercials, DVDs, video games and elsewhere. Keller’s claims are narrower and focused on the NCAA’s deal with Electronic Arts Inc., which makes basketball and football video games based on college players’ images. They are making headway in court, racking up preliminary victo- ries that have advanced their cause further than previous legal chal- lenges to the NCAA. The debate over compensating college players is almost as old as the NCAA, founded in 1906. Ama- teurs have long-been expected to compete for free and the love of sport — or at least the cost of a scholarship. But the NCAA’s revenues have skyrocketed in recent years — it recently signed a $10.8 billion, 14- year television deal for basketball — and so have the demands of ath- letes to share in the money. For its part, the NCAA is stead- fast in its position that student-ath- letes are prohibited from receiving payment for participating in sports. It also says it has done nothing wrong in marketing itself for the benefit of its member schools and will continue to vigorously contest the lawsuits. A judge earlier this year refused the NCAA’s request to toss out the eight lawsuits filed across the coun- try by former student-athletes. They are now consolidated into a single federal action in San Francisco. The former collegiate athletes accuse the NCAA of antitrust violations, alleg- ing they are prevented from market- ing their images because the NCAA locked up their commercial rights STATE BRIEFING ifornia man has become the first person with cere- bral palsy to scale Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan. The Fresno Bee reports that Stephen Wampler spent six days climbing the 3,000-foot sheer wall before reaching the top early Friday evening. The 42-year-old Wampler followed a climbing team that laid out ropes ahead of him. Wampler then used a spe- cial pull-up bar to ascend the ropes. Wampler, who is from Coronado, says he hopes his feat will help raise $2 million for his founda- tion. The organization sponsors camps for chil- dren with disabilities. Angel Island celebrates 100 years ANGEL ISLAND STATE PARK (AP) — Angel Island is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the opening of its immi- gration station, which was once referred to as the Ellis Island of the West. To mark the anniver- sary, 25 immigrants were sworn in as new U.S. citi- zens on Friday at a special ceremony on the island. Among them were peo- ple from the Philippines, Kenya, China, India, France and Somalia. The group was given a tour of the island’s deten- tion center, where immi- grants were held — some- times for months — by officials who were charged with upholding federal laws restricting immigration. Jowei Chang, who is from Taiwan, was among the group sworn in on Fri- day. She told the Marin Independent Journal her husband’s grandfather was held at Angel Island many years ago, so the event was significant for her. ‘‘I always wanted my children to come here to know the history of immi- grants and how hard it was to come to this land,’’ she said. From 1910 to 1940, about 1 million immi- grants from some 90 coun- tries — including an esti- mated 175,000 from China — were processed at Angel Island. The station, which is undergoing a $60 million restoration, was built to help enforce the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and other laws aimed at curb- ing immigration. Many Chinese immigrants were detained for up to two years while immigration officials questioned their legal status. ‘‘That reflects a certain dark part of American his- tory,’’ said Eddie Wong, executive director of the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation. ‘‘So today ... is a commentary on how America has changed and evolved and has the ability to change its mind for the better.’’ Misconduct forces DUI dismissals SACRAMENTO (AP) — Sacramento County Dis- trict Attorney Jan Scully says a police officer’s mis- conduct is forcing her to dis- miss cases against 79 sus- pects, many of whom were already convicted of driving under the influence. Scully said Friday the suspects will have their records cleared because for- mer Sacramento Police Offi- cer Brandon Mullock falsi- fied police report. Mullock has not been charged but resigned over an unrelated incident last month. His attorney, Daniel McNamara, declined com- ment when contacted by The Sacramento Bee. A deputy prosecutor dis- covered discrepancies in June between Mullock’s reports and video from the camera in his squad car. Scully says she can’t eth- ically prosecute Mullock’s cases, which include 71 DUIs. The other eight faced charges involving domestic violence, battery, theft, resisting arrest and drugs. forever during their college days. O’Bannon alleges that an NCAA monopoly is enforced with one particular form it requires every athlete to sign before they can play. He says the form grants the NCAA exclusive commercial rights. The NCAA says the form mere- ly give it permission to ‘‘promote NCAA events, activities or pro- grams.’’ In a court filing, the NCAA said the form has little to do with com- mercial rights. ‘‘It says nothing about the use of student-athlete images by member institutions, nothing about video games, and absolutely nothing about the right of a former student- athlete to sell his own collegiate image after graduation,’’ the court filing stated.
