After three years of declines, the state Department of Fish and Game says about 163,000 king, or Chinook, salmon returned to the two rivers in 2010. The Sacramento River fall run is a good predictor for the health of the Pacific Coast fishery because it pro- vides much of the salmon caught off northern California and southern Ore- gon. In recent years, salmon numbers plummeted, leading officials to cancel or greatly curtail commercial and recreational salmon fishing seasons. Both recreational and commercial fishermen said the numbers should provide for at least abbreviated sea- There are six dental exam rooms and five med- VOTE Continued from page 1A it,” Barrett said. “He thought he was going to convince the board.” It was a fair proposal, and the board does not see it that way, she said. Citing the confidentiality of the negotiation process, School Board President Leonard Stohler declined to comment on whether the board had instructed McCoy to discuss the specific concessions outlined in the tentative agreement. “We spent two hours going over every aspect of that agreement,” Stohler said. “We looked at it closely, and we basically had an understanding that that was proba- bly not what we wanted. I under- stand they are angry, but the board has to do what it has to do. What they offered did not meet what the board has decided to do.” iPad. The 300 Club, just one of several school fundraisers, has been a tradition for too many years to know when it started, and it has been several years since all the tickets were sold, Ramirez said. Ticket sales started in November. sons this year — but cautioned that the numbers are better but still low. “Right now, it looks like the fall-run will support a recreational season, but the numbers are still below historic levels,” said Marc Gorelnik, director of the Coastside Fishing Club, a recre- ational fishing group. In 2009, some 122,000 chinook were predicted to return to the river, but that proved inaccurate. Instead, a record-low 39,500 chinook were recorded, down from more than 750,000 counted in 2002. The Pacific Fishery Management Council, the federal agency that makes a recommendation to fisheries man- agers for the length of commercial sea- sons, has yet to weigh in. The council meets to discuss this year’s season on March 1 in Santa Rosa, Calif., and a final decision is expected to come later in the spring.

Saturday, February 5, 2011 – Daily News – 9A A California Highway Patrol helicopter lowered an officer on to the boat to stay with the boy until a Sheriff’s Patrol Boat could arrive, the release said. Jackson, who was driving north in the same lane as the woman about 55 mph, saw the woman but was unable to stop his vehicle in time, said California Highway Patrol Officer Phillip Mackintosh. Jackson was uninjured in the collision. The incident shut down the ical exam rooms at the Red Bluff location, 2540 Sister Mary Columba Drive, and five dental and six medical exam rooms at the Corning location, 740 Solano St. “Our approach to health care is personalized to the needs of each of our patients,” Schaub said. “We made it a priority to take the time to listen to our patients and answer their questions. We feel it is important to provide education about preventa- tive health care and treat- ment options.” The Red Bluff building was remodeled for the clinic by Craig Wenner, The officer and the boy were delivered safely to shore.

Better salmon returns give fishermen hope tion, an industry group, says a short commercial season is likely this year, but that more work is needed to return this important fishery back to health. He said many of this fish counted were delivered by truck around pumps, dams and other barriers in the Delta, or raised in a hatchery and that more restoration needs to be done to allow more natural salmon to thrive. In the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, fishermen and federal regula- tors believe dams and large pumps used to move water around for use by cities and farms is to blame for the salmon’s decline. They say the pumping blocks fish from swimming from the freshwater, where they spawn, back to the ocean where they mature. “The final factor in all of this is, if their progeny cannot make it through the Delta and out the Golden Gate (the numbers) don’t mean anything,” Grad- er said. “Our job is by no means over.” 39-cent-a-gallon gas prompts call to authorities ROSELAND (AP) — Authorities say they had to block vehicles from entering a gas station near Santa Rosa after a computer problem had gas there on sale for 39 cents a gallon. Sonoma County sheriff’s deputies and the California Highway Patrol responded to a traffic jam at the 76 sta- tion in Roseland around 8 p.m. Thursday. Sheriff’s Sgt. Kevin Scanlon described the scene as a “blockade” as drivers tried to get in on the cheap gas. Gas in Santa Rosa is averaging about $3.36 a gal- lon. Scanlon told the Press Democrat of Santa Rosa the station planned to close for the night, so the computer problem could be fixed. A station employee declined to comment on how much gas was sold at the 39-cent price. around with them, he said. “Efficiency and envi- ronment are both concerns as well as being able to communicate with other providers and specialist with ease,” Gonczeruk said.

I have incredible respect for all of our dedicated employees, and do not want to see anyone working for less, or laid off due to lack of funds. The finances are forcing us to seek difficult solu- tions at the cost of employees, and programs. Our district remains committed to providing the best education possible to the students of Red Bluff, but we are being told by the state to do so on a shoestring budget that keeps getting cut.

Trio nabbed on drug charges Three people were arrested in the Gilmore Road area for felony drug charges Thursday morning. Two people were arrested at 9:30 a.m. on Mina Avenue.

The ruling came Thursday after a preliminary hear- ing for senior pastor Tommy Daniels of the First Baptist Church of Rio Linda, the Sacramento Bee reported. The consistency of accounts of abuse provided by two of the children was especially credible, Sacramento County Judge Lloyd Daniels said in making the ruling. Daniels has pleaded not guilty to six counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child. He was being held on $6 million bail. His defense lawyer Michael Chastaine challenged the accounts of the girls. “There are two possibilities here. Either he did this and it’s horrible, or he’s innocent, and that’s even worse,’’ Chastaine told the newspaper. ‘‘And there are a lot of people who believe he’s innocent.’’ Prosecutors said the abuse took place between 2002 and 2007, a period when Daniels, 48, and his wife, Brenda, 45, were under scrutiny by child welfare agen- cies and police. A private therapist who works with adoptive parents of emotionally troubled children placed four of the girls in the couple’s Citrus Heights home for short-term care. The fifth girl received child care at the home after Bren- da Daniels lost her day care and foster care licenses in 2003, the newspaper said.
