He passed in the early morning hours from a heart attack. He is survived by: Wife Kathy (married November 9, 1963), Son Carl Engel and his wife Leanne of Foresthill, Son, Gus Engel and his wife Tena of Redding, and a total of eight grandchildren and one great granddaughter. Those who knew Carl experienced his love for life; he had a fierce passion for helping others and putting their needs before his own. He often went completely out of his way, asked for no praise but demanded the best for those he loved and worked with. Together with Kathy, they led Cub Scouts, Coached Youth Sports, and gave their all to everything they and their kids were involved with. Though Carl spent his adult life as an electrician, his mechanical skills were many; besides fixing bicycles, peddle cars and his favorite John Deere tractor, Carl owned, built and Drag Raced his 1964 ½ Ford Mustang, fondly know as Lil Hoss. For nearly fifty years, Carl and Kathy traveled and competed at tracks from Vancouver BC to Pomona, CA; among his drag racing accomplishments are a NHRA Winter Nationals class championship, record setting runs and small-track championships. He was known at the track for his helping hand, upbeat demeanor and always being ready to share stories about the good ol' days. Carl and Kathy returned to the north state fifteen years ago to retire in their dream home; they enjoyed bowling in local leagues and Carl spent as much time as he could at local creeks fly fishing with his dog; he truly felt the area was God's country. Together Carl and Kathy hosted three decades worth of annual Christmas parties where family and friends always came together for great food and heart-felt love. We will always remember his annual pre-party speech and group prayer; there was never a dry eye in the room. The world's greatest husband, father, friend will never be forgotten!

Motorcycle recovered in Calif 46 years after theft LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a Nebraska man is getting his motorcycle back — 46 years after it was stolen from his backyard. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday the black and blue 1953 Triumph Tiger 100 was recovered last week at the Port of Los Angeles. It was on its way to Japan, with its value listed as $9,000. The bike was reported stolen in February 1967. It was worth $300 then and wasn't insured.

Football league ex-head sentenced for embezzlement SAN DIEGO (AP) — A former San Diego businessman who embezzled more than $1 million and used most of it to fund a fledgling football league has been sentenced to nearly 3 1/2 years in federal prison. Prosecutors say Jaime (Hye'-mee) Cuadra was sentenced Monday to 41 months. He pleaded guilty in June to wire fraud and filing a false federal income tax return. In a plea agreement, Cuadra acknowledged embezzling money while he was chief financial officer of Oceanic Enterprises Inc. of San Diego. Prosecutors say he used much of the money to develop and promote the United States Football League, which plans to launch next year.

She loves being able to look at how other teachers are using it in their classrooms and said the students are very excited to have the chromebooks. "The students are just sponges when it comes to technology," Vazquez said. "They're always teaching me lessons on how to use it." The student-centered ability to share projects and be able to invite other schools to see what they're doing in their classroom is one of the things Vazquez loves about the new technology, she said. "They can play multiplication games with their classmates, other students in the school and even other countries," Vazquez said. "They can also access it from home if they have internet."

The notebooks rotate amongst classrooms so that everyone can use them. "The possibilities are endless," Vazquez said. "They can use go animate for writing, math word problems, educational videos that they can respond to." The school also uses edmodo, a learning management system, she said. Student Teacher Carly Jasielum has been working with the students to teach them how to use Google Docs on their chromebooks to do a variety of projects. "It's pretty cool," Jasielum said.

Diane Pleschner-Steele, executive director of the California Wetfish Producers Association, which represents the sardine industry, said she was concerned the council would depart from management guidelines and bow to political pressure. Oceana, a conservation group, had urged the council to halt sardine fishing altogether to prevent the kind of collapse that dev- 7A explore," Vazquez said.

Vazquez said she has enjoyed working with them and putting together a website: http:mrsvazquezsclass.edublogs.org / to help teachers of all levels of experience navigate the new technology. She looks to a first grade teacher named Miss Cassidy in Canada for inspiration, Vazquez said. While all assignments might not be specific to her grade, Vazquez can take what she sees and reinvent it to make it fit her class, she said. "Collaboration is very important," Vazquez said.

''Their action might be too little a little too late,'' said Ben Enticknap of Oceana. ''It is hopeful that they are recognizing there is a problem and they are beginning to change course. We'll find out more when we get another stock assessment later in the year.'' In the 1950s, sardines were in a deep decline because of a natural cycle exacerbated by overfishing, but in the 1990s started a big rebound that restored the fishery. Populations typically drop when ocean temperatures get colder, as they have lately in conjunction with a climatic condition known as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. When the number of sardines goes down, anchovies typically go up, and mackerel increase during the transition. ''It is just a change in (ocean) conditions,'' said Yaremko, the California wildlife official. ''Is it cause for alarm? No. Is it case for precaution? I would say yes.'' Parents of teen killed by Calif. deputy sue SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The parents of a Northern California teen fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on Monday. Sonoma County deputy sheriff Erick Gelhaus shot and killed Andy Lopez, 13, on the afternoon of Oct. 22 in Santa Rosa. The teen was carrying a pellet gun that resembled an automatic weapon while walking to a friend's house in a modest neighborhood. Lopez parents filed the federal lawsuit in San Francisco and allege that Gelhaus and the sheriff's department violated the teen's civil rights. The parents seek unspecified damages. The lawsuit alleges that the ''killing of Andy Lopez was a senseless and unwarranted act of police abuse.'' The Sonoma County District Attorney and other nearby police departments are still conducting an investigation into the shooting. Investigators have said that Gelhaus said he thought Lopez was carrying a real automatic rifle and feared for his safety after the 8th grader refused orders to drop the pellet gun. The lawsuit follows the filing Thursday of an official ''claim'' with Sonoma County that also seeks an unspecified amount of damages because of the shooting. Sonoma County Counsel Bruce Goldstein said it was ''unusual'' for a lawsuit to be filed before county officials could consider the parents' claim. County officials have 45 days to accept the claim, negotiate a settlement or reject it, Goldstein said. Goldstein also said the lawsuit has the potential to interfere with the criminal investigation of the shooting by the Santa Rosa Police Department, which will be reviewed by the Sonoma County District Attorney. ''There's a pretty extensive review process and there's real potential that this civil litigation will interfere with the criminal investigation,'' Goldstein said. In a packed press conference in downtown San Francisco Monday afternoon that was attended by many reporters and cameramen from Spanish-speaking media outlets, the parents' lawyer predicted local officials would conclude Gelhaus acted reasonably and legally. ''We are anticipating it will be a whitewash,'' attorney Arnoldo Casillas said when asked why he didn't wait for authorities to finish their investigation before filing a lawsuit. ''There is no reason to wait.'' Casillas said the family has yet to bury Lopez in hopes the FBI will want to examine the body and take over the investigation. The FBI said immediately after the shooting that it would look into the case. Casillas said it appears the FBI is leaving the official investigation to local officials because FBI agents haven't contacted Lopez parents. FBI spokesman Peter Lee said the agency is continuing its investigation. ''What the FBI is investigating is whether there were any civil rights violations,'' Lee said. ''Did somebody commit a crime based on race, sexual orientation, age and things like that.'' Lee said the FBI doesn't discuss its open investigations in detail. Casillas won a $24 million jury verdict in Los Angeles Superior Court in December 2012 against the Los Angeles Police Department after one of its officers shot and par- $17.25M fine proposed for PG&E misleading records SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California public utilities commissioner is proposing that Pacific Gas & Electric Co. be fined $17.25 million for falsely claiming two old pipelines were safe and filing misleading records to downplay the misstep. The California Public Utilities Commission on Monday said it received the proposal from commissioner Mark Ferron; an earlier proposal called for 6.75 million in fines for the violations. Two judges found previously that PG&E ran an aged pipeline at too high a pressure and minimized the lapses as data ''errata'' in safety filings. The pipelines are in the same system as one in San Bruno that exploded in 2010, killing eight people. PG&E spokesperson Brittany Chord said PG&E's goal is transparency, and the company is disappointed its efforts fell short ''in the eyes of the commission.'' alyzed a 13-year-old boy who was playing ''cops and robbers'' with a similar pellet gun that Lopez was carrying. Casillas declined to speculate what a jury might award Lopez' parents in the current case, but said he would expect a jury to issue a higher damages award than the $24 million verdict in Los Angeles. ''The biggest difference in the two cases is that Andy Lopez is dead and the other boy isn't,' Casillas said. The Santa Rosa shooting has prompted numerous demonstrations and complaints that Gelhaus was too quick to open fire and attracted international media coverage, especially in Mexico. Hundreds of people showed up for the latest peaceful march in Santa Rosa on Wednesday evening, with many demonstrators calling on authorities to file charges against Gelhaus in the killing. The Mexican Consulate on Monday called on investigators to ''officially'' share the findings of their investigation with Mexican diplomats. Furthermore, it was requested that the results of this investigation be released as soon as possible, that liability be properly established and that full compliance with the law be guaranteed,'' the consulate said in a statement Monday. On Monday at the press conference, Lopez father Rodrigo Lopez called on the community to continue demonstrating peacefully. ''We want justice,'' the father said in a brief statement. The teen's mother addressed the press conference at length in Spanish, but declined to discuss the case in English, saying that she was more fluent in Spanish. CARE TO COMMENT?
