7A Assemblyman, gun-rights advocate challenges Brown Wednesday, November 6, 2013 – Daily News Obituaries MARY LOU MOORE Mary Lou Moore went to be with Her Lord and Savior Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Mary Lou was first and foremost an Educator. Her 62 years of active teaching included Lincoln Street School, Lassen View Elementary, and Gerber Elementary here in Tehama County. She received her Masters in English as a Second Language and as part of that process taught in Jamaica, Peru, and China. At the age of 60 Mary Lou attended a ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House before heading out as a member of the Peace Corps and the first volunteers into Eastern Europe. She was then hired by the United States Information Agency and taught teachers how to teach English in Hungary, Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania. | After 8 years of service she returned to Red Bluff and continued teaching in programs such as E Scholar to help people get their GED's. Health issues required her to step back from teaching just this past July. Mary Lou is survived by her four children and their spouses: Debbie and Pat Wagner, Jeff and Virginia Moore, Rod Moore, Roberta Moore, Jon and Tara Moore. There are eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mom was the spiritual rock of our family. Her steadfast faith even in the midst of great life struggles and challenges was an inspiration and encouragement to each of her children and to all those who knew her. Mom had always said she would go anywhere in the world God sent her as long as He took care of her children. She went and He did. While there is great sadness at losing our mother, we all take great comfort in knowing she is now with Jesus, free of pain, and experiencing the glory of Heaven. A Memorial and Celebration of Life will take place at the First Church of God, Luther and South Jackson Streets, Red Bluff, at l:00 pm on Saturday, November 16th. Flowers can be sent to the church for the Celebration.

Calif. homeowners sue county over sinking homes LAKEPORT, Calif. (AP) — Residents of a Northern California subdivision where homes are sinking into a hilltop have filed a lawsuit against the county. The lawsuit — filed Friday— alleges that a leaking public water system is to blame for the damage to the Lake County subdivision. County officials have said a landscape irrigation system operated by the homeowners association may be to blame for the wet ground. The subdivision is in the city of Lakeport and overlooks Clear Lake. Numerous homes have been destroyed or threatened by the sinking earth. A call to the county on Tuesday was not immediately returned.

Jerry Brown despite the incumbent's seemingly unstoppable money and campaign machinery. Donnelly, a gun-rights advocate, outspoken critic of illegal immigration and social conservative, said he is unfazed by a state electorate that leans far to his political left. He says his ''guerrilla grass-roots'' campaign will offer voters an alternative to the high taxes and what he calls government interference offered by Brown and his fellow Democrats. ''I can unite the divided majority that makes up California: people who work hard, who play by the rules and just want to be left alone by their government,'' Donnelly, 47, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Yet his candidacy, along with that of former lawmaker and Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, a moderate Republican, is unlikely to receive a warm welcome from the GOP establishment. After decades of sinking registration numbers, the party has sought to rebrand itself so it can appeal to a wider variety of voters, including Latinos. Many party delegates had hoped to shift the party to the political center and keep the focus off the divisive issues that have been central to Donnelly's previous campaigns, including his history as a former Minuteman border enforcer. Tenoch Flores, a spokesman for the California Democratic Party, said state Republicans are following congressional Republicans, who talked about rebranding the party after losing to President Barack Obama in 2012 but instead support- PRICE Continued from page 1A Council and as Red Bluff City Manager from 20012006.

Jones criticized health insurers and Covered California for jointly agreeing that all existing policies should be canceled at the end of this year. Small businesses were allowed to renew their policies past the end of the year, and Jones said in a statement that individuals and families should be given the same leeway. Neither state nor federal law requires such cancellations, Jones said, and existing policies offer benefits that include a broader network of medical providers and lower costs for consumers whose incomes are too high to be eligible for premium subsidies. New policies must meet the requirements of the federal health care law, but Janice Rocco, deputy commissioner of health care reform and policy, said in a telephone interview that old policies can continue into 2014 even if they fall short. Covered California spokesman Santiago Lucero did not return a telephone message. But Blue Shield spokesman Steve Shivinsky said the exchange and insurers made the right choice in attempting to cancel all ed a partial federal government shutdown this fall. ''If anything, this just shows that Republicans are far from being able to move to the center and move to where Californians are,'' Flores said. Mindful of the need to connect with a broader base of voters, Donnelly on Tuesday was flanked by a diverse group of supporters at the furniture factory in the Los Angeles County city of Baldwin Park where he announced his candidacy. The official filing period to run for governor does not begin until Feb. 10. The party's official position will be less relevant for any of the Republicans in 2014, the first year in which candidates for governor are subject to the state's top-two primary. In that system, the two highest vote-getters in June advance to the November general election. Whoever emerges will face a daunting challenge in Brown, the 75-year-old governor who returned to office in 2011 after first serving from 1975 to 1983. Brown has yet to announce a bid for re-election, but there is little doubt that he will run. After becoming the longest-serving governor earlier this month, Brown quipped last week that: ''I'm only in the third year of my first of my second terms.'' Brown has a 49 percent approval rating among likely voters, according to a September Public Policy Institute of California poll, and has nearly $16 million in his two campaign committees. He also successfully shepherded a budget through the state Legislature this year with little drama after voters approved billions of dollars in temporary sales and income taxes last year. Donnelly, who represents a conservative Inland Empire district, has less than $40,000 combined in his two campaign accounts. Although his candidacy is likely to appeal to tea party sympathizers, Donnelly said he believes it will also resonate beyond the far right. ''I know that people have lost faith that you can win anything with grass roots, but I think we're living in a unique time in California, where there's so many people that feel like there's something wrong,'' Donnelly said. Donnelly and Maldonado could also face a challenge from a political and social moderate who has been courting donors: Neel Kashkari, the former assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury who oversaw the federal bank bailout under both Presidents George W. Bush and Obama. Kashkari, 40, has set up a website and hired consultants but has not yet decided whether to run, said his spokesman, Aaron McLear, although ''he continues to travel the state to determine how he can help solve the problems facing Californians.'' Maldonado, 46, the state's former lieutenant governor who ran unsuccessfully for Congress last year, initially launched a campaign challenging Brown's realignment law, which has shifted thousands of lower-level offenders out of state prison and into county supervision. He has since shifted back to his more moderate image and announced his support for gay marriage. On Tuesday, he released a ''day in the life'' video of himself on the campaign trail. Maldonado has raised $313,000 so far this year but spent much of it on a high-priced campaign team that he has since fired. and Environmental Planning from the University of California, Davis.

''We need the largest number of individuals, healthy or otherwise, to be in the risk pool as early as possible to balance the risk ... across all ages and health status,'' Shivinsky said. He said the company agreed to the delay when Jones threatened a lawsuit. He disputed Jones' contention that the company was required to provide a lengthier notice. The delayed deadline could cause confusion for policyholders, Shivinsky said. It might force consumers to start their annual deductible over again on April 1, and eligible consumers could miss out on tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies if they wait. No agreements with other insurers are in the works because the insurance regulators know of no other insurance company that did not provide proper notice to its customers, Jones said during a news conference at his office. Jones said Blue Shield was unique among the state's insurers in having to provide 180 days' notice before canceling policies, instead of the usual 90 days. That's because it withdrew its policies from regulation under the state Department of Insurance, which he said triggered a longer notice requirement. The regulatory switch provided the company with a $107 million tax benefit, Jones said. Shivinsky said the decision was made to save administrative costs because most of the company's policies already were regulated by the Department of Managed Health Care. Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service Now Offering Eco-Friendly urns at economy friendly prices. 722 Oak Street, Red Bluff, FD Lic. 1931 527-1732 THE PASSING PARADE (From an I Say column of January 1969) On a stormy Sunday, with the roads blocked to the ski areas, and the meat business absolutely awful, it's best to write of animals. As you may recall, we have an abundance of livestock. The San Francisco Zoo should contact us on matters of animal control. As of this moment, Frank and Pearl S. Duck are the only pair on the ranch actually enjoying the rain. These mallards mysteriously joined us last winter. Pearl stretches her rather dingy wings to catch the effect of water on a body that has patiently endured the long hot summer of Red Bluff. The roosters, which usually lord it over the ducks, are now a drenched and sorry looking lot and decidedly out of their element. They hang around the sheltered side of the house looking very forlorn…not unlike dejected Sen. Joe McCarthy supporters. I don't mean to get political, but merely to give a simile…I could have said Senator Metzger, but who would known what I meant? The horses have the shelter of the barn, but are exhibiting little activity. However, the pecking order is functioning properly. Maralyn's pony and Brandon's gelding are being chased out into the rain by Melody's mare…and my big black Saddlebred has just kicked her mare. He in turn is being bitten by the missus' mare who is the undisputed queen of the barnyard. Her two year old colt, Jocko, is rather bewildered by it all and seeks his mother's protection even though he towers over them all. By the way, Banana the goat is comfortably ensconced in one of the stalls chewing her cud. Here in the house, various dogs and cats are flaked out all over the place. The newest addition to our menagerie is "Barney of Red Bluff", a 3 month old St. Bernard. Not that we are Catholic…it just seemed to be a good add to our little group. Actually he took the place of a trip to Disneyland. However, the way he has been eating everything in sight, it has been an illadvised money saving maneuver. We could have bought the whole Disneyland menagerie for much less. Now that I look around, perhaps we have! *** We are attempting to phase out our cutting and wrapping for home freezers, and have an excellent plan for our customers. Jack Burgess has constructed a new, modern locker plant on Baker Road north and east of our plant. It will meet the exacting standards of modern sanitation and will certainly fill the gap left by the demise of Cone Ice and Red Bluff Locker Service. Jack and his crew have spent considerable time in our plant learning the way our customers want their meat cut and wrapped. We will continue to receive beef for custom kill…and the only difference will be that now you can pick up your cut, wrapped and frozen meat closer to town.
