Costco recalls more chicken SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A Northern California Costco store is recalling thousands of additional rotisserie chickens over concerns about salmonella. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the recall on Thursday of a little more than 13,400 ''Kirkland Signature Foster Farms'' rotisserie chickens and related Kirkland Farms products such as soup, chicken salad and leg quarters. The items were sold at Costco's South San Francisco store between Sept. 24 and Oct. 15. The previous recall was for more than 9,000 Foster Farms rotisserie chickens and related products purchased at the same South San Francisco Costco between Sept. 11 and Sept. 23. Agriculture officials say there have been no reports of illness from the latest recall. CARE TO COMMENT? At redbluffdailynews.com, scroll to the end of any story, click the link and type away.

Susan Crandell A Memorial Celebration of Life Potluck will be held Sunday, October 20th at Noon Cone Grove Park, Red Bluff Those who will be attending are asked to wear Red, Magenta, Purple, Pink or variations of Red FLAG Continued from page 1A or go home. The students went home, and a month later, their parents filed a lawsuit, alleging the school and its administrators violated their children's free speech rights. The May 5, 2010, incident sparked a national debate, prompting satellite news trucks to camp outside the school for several days as pundits across the political spectrum argued the issue over the airwaves. ''It's all about not being ashamed to wear the American flag,'' Kendall Jones, a parent of one of the students, said to reporters outside the hearing Thursday. ''What's wrong with that?'' Inside the courtroom, Judge Virginia Kendall argued that school officials have a responsibility to prevent violence and disruptions on campus, noting that students allegedly warned the vice principal that trouble was brewing because of the American flag T-shirts. ''Do you have to wait until they duke out in the courtyard,'' before administrators can step in and ban the shirts, Judge Virginia Kendall asked. The students' attorney Robert Muise argued that the ''potential'' the shirts would cause disruptions on campus was a ''risk'' the school had to take in deference to the students' free speech rights to wear the American flag T-shirts. The school's attorney Don Willenburg argued that the school was within its right to ban the shirts for just that single day. ''No one was prevented from expressing views,'' Willenburg said. Judge Sidney Thomas suggested the case may need to be returned to a lower court and sent to a jury to determine whether the shirts posed an actual threat that day. A lower court tossed out the students' lawsuit in December 2011, ruling that school administrators have wide legal latitude to ensure the safety and effective operation of their campuses and a ''perceived threat'' of violence vindicated the principal's decision. The lower court judge who tossed out the case, the now-retired Chief Judge James Ware, noted that ''our Constitution grants public school children only limited First Amendment rights when they enter the schoolhouse gates,'' while conceding this case has landed in ''important legal territory.'' Volokh calls such punishment a ''heckler's veto.'' In public, speakers are protected from such a restriction and allowed to voice most opinions. Oncampus students don't enjoy the same free speech rights. ''A school may restrict a student's speech,'' Volokh said, ''to prevent unruly disruptions.'' Still, Volokh said administrators can — and sometimes do — go too far and overreact to a perceived threat that may not cause a big enough oncampus stir to warrant the censorship. ''The fact of the matter is that these Americans were punished for wearing the American flag at an American school,'' Volokh said. California home prices cool in September SAN DIEGO (AP) — California housing prices cooled in September as inventories grew and investor interest waned, a research firm reported Thursday, offering fresh evidence that the market is taking a breather after a torrid spring and summer. The median sales price for new and existing houses and condominiums was $355,000 last month, up 23.7 percent from $287,000 during the same period last year, research firm DataQuick said. It was the 10th straight month of annual gains above 20 percent, but the median fell by $6,000 from August. The 36,027 homes sold in the state — up 5.9 percent from a year earlier — was the highest September sales tally since 2009. Fewer homeowners find themselves owing more than their properties are worth as prices have soared, prompting many to put their homes up for sale. remain tight for lower-priced homes, said Don Faught, president of the brokers association. The median sales price in the San Francisco Bay Area was $530,000 in September, up 23.5 percent from $429,000 the same period last year, DataQuick said. It was the 11th straight month of annual gains above 20 percent but the second consecutive decline from the previous month. Prices peaked at $562,000 in July. The September figure was also the smallest annual percentage gain since March. The median sales price in Southern California was $382,000, up 21.3 percent from $315,000 the same period last year, DataQuick reported Wednesday. It was the 14th straight Replace with jump from Lights On if necessary The California Association of Realtors said there was a 3.6-month supply of unsold single-family homes in the state last month, up from 3.1 months in August. A normal supply is considered to be five to seven months. Housing inventories have grown steadily since May, though supplies Lt. Gov. Newsom to lead pot legalization panel SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The push to legalize marijuana in California received a boost Thursday as the state's Democratic lieutenant governor announced that he was leading a blue ribbon panel that plans to study the issue with the goal of producing a legalization initiative for the November 2016 ballot. In announcing the formation of the 16-member panel of medical, legal, political and law enforcement experts, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom made plain that he fully endorses the idea of making adult sales and recreational use of marijuana legal and challenged other elected officials to do the same. ''We've been sitting here most of my life — literally and not just figuratively — fighting this failed war on marijuana, and the results are pretty overwhelming,'' said Newsom, who previously served as San Francisco's mayor. ''I'm proudly now asserting a point of view that I've had, candidly, for years and didn't have the courage at the time to express it. And I hope others will do the same, if they believe this is the right thing to do.'' The American Civil Liberties Union of California convened the commit- tee because of research showing that racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately subject to arrest and imprisonment for possessing and selling marijuana, Allen Hopper, the ACLU's director of criminal justice and drug policy. Hopper said the panel plans to meet over the next 18 to 24 months and in developing recommendations that could be written into a ballot initiative to draw heavily from the experiences of Colorado and Washington, which last year became the first two U.S. states to treat marijuana like alcohol by authorizing its use by adults and taxing sales. The ACLU on Thursday also released the results of a new poll that shows large majorities of Californians support doing the same in their state, regardless of age, race and whether they personally use pot. The Tulchin Research telephone poll of 1,200 residents who said they were likely to vote in the 2016 general election found that 65 percent of respondents overall favored legalizing marijuana as long as it remained illegal for minors and sales were limited to stores subject to state regulation.
