Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. Calif foreclosure activity falls in third quarter SAN DIEGO (AP) — California home foreclosure fell in the third quarter as rising prices left fewer homeowners in trouble, a research firm said Tuesday. There were 20,314 default notices filed from July through September, down 58.6 percent from 49,026 the same period last year, DataQuick said. It was the lowest level since 18,568 notices were filed in the first quarter of this year and the secondlowest since 18,856 filed during the first quarter of 2006.

The BART dispute has prompted two area Democrats to weigh in against transit strikes. State Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, said he was looking into legislation to prevent future strikes. And Orinda City Councilman Steve Glazer, a candidate for state Assembly and former adviser to Gov. Jerry Brown, is calling for a transit strike prohibition because such labor actions ''cripple our economy, hurt workers getting to their jobs, limit access to schools and health care, and damage our environment.'' Strikes at major public transit systems are rare, in part because some states have laws prohibiting them. Those laws aren't always effective, however. In 2005, for example, New York City transit workers staged a three-day walkout despite a New York law that forbids CRASH (Continued from page 1A) pedestrian walking on a sidewalk on the bridge, Franks said. The pedestrian was thrown over the bridge and onto the river bed about 20 feet below, according to a press release. The man was transported by helicopter to Mercy Medical Center and is listed as suffering a broken leg. left fewer Californians owing more than their properties are worth and less vulnerable to foreclosure, DataQuick said. The state's median sales price was $360,000 during the third quarter, up 26.3 percent from $285,000 a year earlier. Government measures to rein in lenders have also slowed foreclosure activity, the San Diego-based company said. Defaults remained concentrated in lower-priced areas. Zip codes with a median sales price below $200,000 saw 3.4 notices filed for audience. That's what it would be in Las Vegas.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports authorities spent three days scouring the hills west of Hopland for 36-year-old Casimir George Janusz. The search of that area ended Monday. Janusz' vehicle was found abandoned at his family's Hopland ranch property soon after he took his son to Ukiah Valley Medical Center last Wednesday. Investigators say Janusz left the hospital and vanished after it was confirmed the boy was dead. Ukiah Police Capt. Trent Taylor tells the newspaper the cause of the child's death has not yet been determined. Calif. race complaints get directed to sex line SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — People who tried to complain about noise from a San Francisco marathon got an earful of racy language instead. When they called the city's 311 hotline to complain about Sunday's Nike marathon, they were incorrectly directed to a phone sex line. City officials now say they were given the wrong number and are investigating how the mix-up occurred. The phone sex number and marathon number differed only in their prefix: 800 versus 866. 311 Director Nancy Alfaro says the wrong number was given out for about a half hour before city officials were alerted. It's not clear how many people were misdirected. The San Francisco Chronicle reports people were complaining about noise from the marathon's festivities that began around 5:30 a.m. An email to Nike was not immediately returned.

BART workers represented by the two largest unions, including more than 2,300 mechanics, custodians, station agents, train operators and clerical staff, average about $71,000 in base salary and $11,000 in overtime annually, the transit agency said. The workers currently pay $92 a month for health care and contribute nothing toward their pensions. Negotiations began in April, but there was little progress and two strikes followed, the first in July. After reaching agreement on pay and benefits, the talks stalled last week after BART demanded changes to workplace rules, including how schedules are made, when overtime is paid and a move from paper to electronic record keeping. The breakthrough came after the worker deaths in Walnut Creek on Saturday. By Sunday, union leaders said they were ready to make concessions. By Monday, both sides agreed to sit down and a deal was struck in time to get limited train service running for the Tuesday morning commute. ''When that happened over the After striking the pedestrian, Pelham allegedly continued driving along the sidewalk and struck a guard rail on the north side of the bridge as she fled the scene, according to the release.

The driver of the pickup truck was not listed as suffering injuries. every 1,000 homes, while the rate fell to 2.2 notices for every 1,000 homes in areas with a median sales price between $200,000 and $800,000 and 0.9 notices for every 1,000 homes in areas with a median sales price above $800,000. Default notices are the first step in the foreclosure process. There were 8,030 foreclosures completed during the third quarter, down 65 percent from 22.949 a year earlier to the lowest level since the fourth quarter of 2006. Foreclosures peaked at 79,511 during the third quarter of 2008. Medium — Jacob Nelson; Children — Hannah Clemenson.

Hanley said that during Monday's negotiations, ''management backed off the vast majority of the work rules'' and settled on minor changes allowing new technology. He said that the final economic package — involving salaries, pensions and health care — was essentially the same as a framework both sides has ostensibly agreed to. Final details on those issues have not been released but BART had offered a 12 percent pay raise over four years and a requirement that workers contribute 4 percent toward their pension and 9.5 percent toward medical benefits. The deaths of two workers checking tracks are being investigated by the National Transportation and Safety Board, which says the driver was an operator trainee and held other positions at BART. The NTSB planned to interview BART managers and re-enact the incident. CARE TO COMMENT? At redbluffdailynews.com, scroll to the end of any story, click the link and type away.

THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column circa 1943) This column will appear irregularly until our business slows down. This past week I was lucky to get time to eat and sleep. We have delivered to the bay area nearly 200,000 pounds of meat. The item that Brother Maxwell printed in the papers last week has been the cause of many needless phone calls from market operators down there. They all want some of this meat that the butcher shops up here "do not need". The last call was from Bob Foulke who many will remember as a former high school teacher here. He is now a well-known attorney in San Francisco and was calling in behalf of his clients who own markets in the bay area and can't get any meat to operate them with. *** Stan Fish reports deer are plentiful and in good condition in the foothills. Would it not be a good idea for the legislature to pass a law allowing us to kill them for food until the war is over? It would not only relieve the meat shortage but would conserve our pasture for a lot more cattle this spring. The war department would not object because they don't want a fall hunting season anyway because of fire hazard in the forest. *** Senator Engle says he never misses reading my column. If he answers my latest suggestion, I will print his letter for you to read. *** "Gremlins" is a new word that is going to be very popular. The name fills a need for something that we can call many things that irritate us and keep us from doing what we start out to accomplish. It is used most commonly in airplanes and other wartime equipment malfunctioning. In my home, however, the gremlins do many things that burn me up. They push the catch on the alarm clock back in on the alarm clock after I go to sleep so I will be late for work. One of their tricks is to wait until I get into the bathtub and then whisper in the children's ears that they "must use the toilet right away!" The gremlins also change the keys from one of my overalls to the other so that when I get to work, the keys are always in the other pair; and they move chairs around after I go to bed so that if I get up in the middle of the night, I will bump into them. I think you will see several instances of gremlins at work around your house or place of business. *** Francis Farmer, a former movie star is getting a lot of publicity in the news recently.
