Calif. opens insurance exchange for small business LOS ANGELES (AP) — California formally launched its insurance exchange for small businesses Monday as questions loom about potentially higher rates and just days after the federal government said it was shelving its version of the online portal for a year. The nation's most populous state runs its own insurance marketplace, Covered California, and officials have been quick to distinguish it from the troubled federal system that serves 36 other states. Last week, the Obama administration said it would put off until next November its online small-business site while it concentrates on repairs to the HealthCare.gov website for individuals. Covered California launched its online site for individuals and families Oct. 1. At a news conference in Los Angeles, agency officials said the small-business counterpart would offer affordable choices for companies that want to provide compensation packages to their workers, including health care. ''California is moving forward, and we are not impacted by the federal government's decision'' to delay its site, said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California. It's not clear how many companies will sign up, in part because employers can direct workers to find insurance through the Covered California site for individuals. The small-business program is voluntary — companies with up to 50 full-time workers are not required under the health law to provide insurance for workers. Some owners could qualify for tax credits. Coverage would begin in January. John Kabateck of the National Federation of Independent Business in California said many small companies have received insurance rate increases, while others fear recently renewed policies could be canceled, leading to higher prices next year. The advocacy group opposed the health overhaul. For small businesses, the law is creating ''more incentive, sadly, to detach from insurance,'' he said. Suspect in custody in Playstation 4 shooting case SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco police say they have a suspect in custody related to the fatal shooting and robbery of a man who advertised a Playstation 4 gaming console for sale online. The shooting occurred around 3:30 p.m. Sunday on the street in the city's Bayview district. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the victim is 22-year-old Ikenna Uwakah of Daly City. Police say the console was taken and Uwakah shot after he arrived at a meeting place with his girlfriend to make the sale. The girlfriend was not injured. Police had not arrested the suspect, so have not released his identity.

Citrus growers brace for cold snap FRESNO (AP) — Citrus farmers in California's Central Valley are bracing for a cold snap that could see temperatures drop below freezing. The National Weather Service in Hanford has issued a freeze watch for the central and southern San Joaquin Valley starting late Wednesday and continuing through Saturday. Meteorologist Jim Andersen tells the Fresno Bee temperatures are expected to fall into the high 20s and low 30s. Anderson says the normal high temperature in Fresno this time of year is 59 degrees. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the high was 69 on Saturday. Citrus growers are monitoring the weather to determine whether they should begin defensive procedures against the cold. But Bob Blakely of the California Citrus Mutual says it's still too early to tell yet what should be done. ——— Information from: The Fresno Bee, http://www.fresnobee.co m 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
