Priest beaten to death with stake GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A beloved priest who was killed in the Northern California city of Eureka was beaten to death with a wooden stake and a metal gutter pipe, his autopsy shows. Humboldt County Coroner Dave Parris said Monday that investigators don't want to release more details of how the Rev. Eric Freed was beaten, pending further investigation. But at his arraignment, Gary Lee Bullock, 44, of Humboldt County, was charged with murder with a special allegation of torture. He is also charged with burglary, arson and auto theft. Bullock pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $1.2 million, the Eureka Times-Standard reported. Meanwhile, a funeral Mass was held Monday for Freed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Eureka. Parishioner Lynn Enemark said more than 1,000 people filled the church to overflowing. Bishop Robert F. Vasa officiated, and priests from around California attended. Authorities have said Bullock was released from jail on a disorderly conduct charge several hours before Freed was killed in the rectory at St. Bernard Catholic Church. The jail is near the church. Police Chief Andrew Mills said the attacker got inside by breaking a side window. The slaying occurred in the early morning hours of Jan. 1, Parris said. A more precise time of death must await further analysis of the evidence. A passing security guard saw Bullock on church grounds at about 2 a.m. New Year's Day and called police. An officer confronted Bullock in front of the rectory, checked his jail papers, did a field sobriety test, and determined he was mentally competent to be in public, then directed him to a shelter several blocks away, police have said. The security guard, who does not work for the church, saw Bullock again at about 3:30 a.m. and told him again to be on his way but did not call police again. Freed's body was discovered when he didn't show up to say Mass the morning of New Year's Day. Surveillance video showed Bullock outside the rectory, Mills said. Authorities have not made the video public. Bullock was arrested Thursday by sheriff's deputies outside Garberville. Deputies said his stepfather was driving him to Garberville to turn himself in. 7A Red Bluff was setting record highs.

Lawmakers pledge fiscal prudence for budget SACRAMENTO (AP) — State lawmakers returned to the Capitol on Monday for the second half of their two-year session, one that is expected to be marked by conflicts over spending or saving a budget surplus that was unthinkable just a couple of years ago. Members of the Assembly and Senate appeared jovial during their opening sessions, but many were looking ahead to Friday, when Gov. Jerry Brown releases his budget proposal for the fiscal year that starts in July. The independent Legislative Analyst's Office is projecting a $3.2 billion surplus, the first one in years, and many Democratic constituencies have their eye on the money after years of cuts to state programs. Several Democratic lawmakers already are advocating for higher spending on certain programs, although the party's leadership is preaching a more conservative approach. Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, said his top priority will be securing California's fiscal stability. ''The cornerstone of that has to be creating a rainy day fund so we do not replicate the patterns of spending and bust of the past,'' Perez said after Monday's session. He said his proposals will align with the legislative analyst's previous recommendations to set aside some of the funding and what he believes will be in the governor's budget proposal. ''I think you will see that as the cornerstone for all decisions and how we govern ourselves,'' Perez said. ''Our first priority is fiscal discipline and establishing a rainy day fund for the future.'' California's budget deficit was about $25 billion when Brown took office in 2011. He was able to close it in large part because of the national recovery from the recession and because he persuaded voters in 2012 to pass temporary increases to the state sales tax and income taxes for high earners. Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, RTulare, urged spending prudence and noted that the extra money is still only a projection. ''How can we say we have a surplus of anything with the debt that the state has?'' Conway told reporters. ''I hope that there's no movement to go and jump right in and spend money that, one, we don't even have yet and two, if we have it, why are we spending it? Let's wait and see what happens.'' Among those debts, which the governor has said need to be addressed, are unfunded pension liabilities and retiree health care costs for public employees of at least $300 billion. Conway said she hopes Brown maintains his moderating stature as the ''adult 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 in the room.'' Sen. Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, said the state needs to create a reserve fund that is sizable enough to help it weather a future economic downturn. ''Everybody's got an idea about how to spend money, but the disciplined thing to do is just to hold it in reserve right now,'' he said. Also Monday, three Democrats who won special elections were sworn in to the Assembly, restoring the party's two-thirds supermajority in that house: Sebastian Ridley-Thomas, of Los Angeles; Matt Dababneh, of San Fernando; and Freddie Rodriguez, of Pomona.

Getchell did not see Ramos' body until the last moment. She attempted to turn to miss him, but the left front wheel of her focused on Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, who returned to the capitol for the first time since a leaked FBI affidavit claimed he accepted nearly $90,000 as part of efforts to influence legislation. After being previously stripped of his committee assignments, Calderon found his assigned seat in the Senate chambers moved from front-and-center to a far corner of the room, next to a vacant desk.
