Police break SUV window after bear stuck inside TRUCKEE (AP) — Truckee police say they had to break the window out of an SUV over the weekend after a bear locked himself inside. Police say the incident late Sunday night in Glenshire was the third time in the past two weeks that a bear's been stuck in a vehicle in the northern California mountain town. The first time was Sept. 30, when a bear was stuck in a car near a school. Police say the animal broke a window to get out. In the second incident, on Oct. 8, the car owner let the bear out. Police say the bears did major damage to the interiors of all three vehicles. Authorities say bears can open doors, so vehicle owners should lock their cars and roll up windows to prevent ursine intruders. Calif. fire chief defends alert for charity event PALO ALTO (AP) — A Northern California fire chief is defending his agency's use of a countywide emergency alert system to send residents information about a charity pancake breakfast. The system, known as AlertSCC, sent messages to 27,000 people in Santa Clara County about Saturday's charity event at a park in Palo Alto, the Palo Alto Daily News reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/1corDbE ). The event was intended to raise money for a city effort to prevent teen suicides. It drew attendees including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife and Yahoo President and CEO Marissa Mayer and her son, the newspaper reported. Fire Chief Eric Nickel said he did not intend to advertise the breakfast but authorized the alert because he was concerned residents might inundate the city's emergency dispatch center with calls related to one of the activities at the event: a rescue simulation with a helicopter. The alert included a sentence about the rescue simulation. ''When we land a helicopter in the middle of town, people call 911 because they want to know what's going on,'' Nickel said. But resident Erica Schroeder said fire officials need to exercise better judgment. She and her husband received two phone calls, a text and an email about the event on Friday. ''Text and automated calls are very useful ways to rapidly communicate,'' she told the Daily News in an email. ''But blanketing us with communications about a pancake breakfast is not only distracting, it undercuts the value of'' the emergency notification system. Emails sent to the city's mayor and vice mayor by The Associated Press Tuesday were not immediately returned.

If the court agrees to a three-year delay called for in the legislation, the state must spend part of the money on rehabilitation programs intended to reduce the inmate count. Last month, the court ordered the state to negotiate with inmates' attorneys toward a possible compromise. But the attorneys say there have been no face-to-face talks with administration officials, though a courtappointed mediator has been active. The judges ordered the mediator to update them next Monday SINGER GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Western timber companies have gone to court to lift the logging ban on national forests due to the government shutdown, arguing the government has no authority under timber sale contracts to force loggers to stop working. Three wood products companies and a timber industry association filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Medford against the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order lifting the logging shutdown, arguing direction from the Office of Management and Budget does not require suspension of operations on a federal contract so long as direct supervision is inessential to the contractor's work. It adds that some of the contracts involve work that is improving public safety by reducing wildfire danger and removing dead trees in danger of falling in campgrounds. The companies also say the agencies failed to file notice of the shutdown and give the timber industry a chance to respond. ''It makes zero sense for the cash-strapped government to shut down operations that pay millions into the United States Treasury,'' said Tom Partin, president of the American Forest Resources Council, the timber industry group that filed the lawsuit. ''A timber operation isn't something you can turn on and off like a light switch. Once equipment has to be moved out, it can be months before it can be moved back in. ''What is happening to our members is particularly frustrating when other businesses with contracts to operate on federal land, such as ski areas, are being allowed to continue working,'' Partin added in a statement The Forest Service and BLM had no comment on the lawsuit. The Forest Service started sending out notices to 450 timber buyers last week, saying they had to wrap up operations and put measures like erosion controls in place. The BLM, which sells timber only in Western Oregon, followed suit. Though some companies depend heavily on federal timber sales for their logs, national forests produce only about 5 percent of the Setting it straight –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper.

The lease is for three years, with unlimited two-year renewals, and the annual cost will rise with inflation after the initial three-year contract expires. Last month, the state signed a five-year, $30 million annual contract with Geo Group to lease two prison facilities in Kern and San Bernardino counties. The two facilities can hold 1,400 inmates. The steps leave the state about 4,400 inmates above the population cap set by the courts. The state must reduce the population of its major prisons to about 110,000 inmates by the end of January under the current lower court order.

''Now that the court has ruled and the governor's out of legal options, it would be in their interest to try and resolve this in a way that is effective and productive,'' said Don Specter, director of the Prison Law Office that filed the lawsuit over prison medical care.

Since logging was deeply cut back on national forests in the 1990s to protect fish, wildlife and clean water, markets have turned to other sources, such as Canada and private lands. The timber companies that joined the lawsuit are Murphy Company of Eugene, which employs 600 people in six mills; High Cascade Inc. of Carson, Wash., which procures timber for a mill in Carson, Wash., and another in Hood River, Ore.; and South Bay Timber LLC, a California-based company that logs in Oregon. Andy Stahl of the conservation group Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics said the lawsuit had little chance of success in light of an Oct. 4 ruling in Colorado, where a judge refused to reverse the cancellation of a permit for a mountain bike race on BLM land prompted by the shutdown. THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column circa 1939-1940) Sitting under a tree waiting for doves to come in, I'm glad I'm not across the ocean waiting for a man from a neighboring country to get within rifle shooting distance just because some big munitions maker had stirred up trouble. Discussing the European situation with Postmaster Walter Hornbeck, he says that Germany could buy all the ground and improvements in Poland for a small part of what it would cost to take it by force besides losing a lot of men and damaging the country they want. But for some reason, countries never seem to do things like people do. The doves that I shot the first three nights cost me 80 cts a piece figuring the cost of shells, license and gasoline but not my time. *** In a few years, if we keep cutting down on working hours, about the only way we can celebrate Labor Day will be to work that day for a change. *** The Saturday Evening Post has a story about Mr. Crosley, owner of the Cincinnati Reds that is very interesting. Red Bluff people have watched this team win their first pennant in 20 years with more than usual interest. Lee Grissom, one of the Red's Pitchers played a lot of baseball around here before graduating to the big leagues…and Frenchy Bordagory is also one of Cincinnati's pitchers. He is the husband of Dorothy Ann Duncan who lived here about 15 years ago when her father Frank Duncan was manager of the Diamond Match Company. *** We spent Friday and Saturday at the World's Fair on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay which makes our 4th such visit. There is so much to see. The Temple of Religion had a replica of the Last Supper which was constructed out of 40,000 pieces of hand carved Mother of Pearl. We also saw in another exhibit, carbonized raisins, grain and corn that had been dug up from one of tombs in a city that the Israelites destroyed in 1100 B.C. A bible collection featured one of the 14 that Martin Luther translated and printed. In the foods building, we watched coca cola manufactured and bottled in a huge glass enclosed machine that worked entirely without human touch entirely from the beginning to the finished product. In the Court of Western Nations were objects taken from cliff dwelling Indians who disappeared centuries ago leaving no trace of what became of them. *** Drove in to one of those curb service sandwich places. The girl put the tray on the inside of our car door. I leaned on it too hard and the resulting catastrophe can only be imagined if you can visualize my wife Evelyn wearing a brand new dress with a lap full of two cups of catsup, steak sandwiches, two cakes and a vanilla milkshake all upside down! She laughed instead of crying which helped the situation a great deal.
