This is the second water rescue in under a week and at least the fourth rescue since the ris- ing river resulted from recent storms and water release from Shasta Dam. Thursday, deputies res- cued a Red Bluff man from the river near Byrne Avenue in Los Molinos. He had been trapped in the water for more than seven hours and was treated for minor hypothermia. The sheriff’s office has been advising people to stay away from the water as river conditions contin- ue to fluctuate. The river is still at a dangerously high level, and the warm weather is creating a tremendous amount of runoff that is bringing lots of debris and muddying the water, Assistant Sheriff Phil STATE BRIEFING Landslide cuts off small Del Norte community REQUA (AP) — Crews worked Monday to clear a landslide that has blocked the only road to a communi- ty along the Klamath River banks and trapped dozens of residents and visitors to a historic inn as Northern Cal- ifornia deals with the after- effects of weeks of rain. The slide late Saturday cut off access to Requa, a community in Del Norte County, about a mile from the mouth of the river. Near- ly 80 people were stranded by the slide. A mound of rocks, dirt and trees about 30 feet high and 120 feet long had cov- ered the steep road, which is bordered on one side by the river and other by the moun- tain. It would take at least until Tuesday to clear, said Cmdr. Bill Stevens of the Del Norte sheriff’s depart- ment. Crews also were working to restore power to the area, though many in the rural community have wood- burning stoves or genera- tors, Stevens said. “Our main concern is that there are quite a few res- idents and a hotel that’s on the other side of that slide on a dead-end road,” Stevens said. “People are going to start running out of food and diapers, and the slide is moving.” Innkeepers at The His- toric Requa Inn told The Daily Triplicate of Crescent City that they are feeding and housing people trapped by the slide. Boats provided by resi- dents and the Yurok tribe were available to bring sup- plies and medical care, and emergency personnel have been stationed at the inn, Stevens said. One person with a medical issue was transported by boat to an ambulance, he said. To the south, the main roadway through Humboldt County reopened early Monday after being closed for days due to a crumbling hillside that nearly swept away a home. Highway 101 reopened to one-way traffic around 2 a.m., Caltrans offi- cials said. The main artery through the county had been closed since Wednesday after tons of rocks and mud tumbled onto the roadway about 5 miles north of Garberville. The slide just missed a home. Two lanes hit in the slide were repaved Sunday after- noon and temporary guard rails installed along the edge of the road overlooking the Eel River. Road crews would be monitoring the hillside before continuing work at night. Caltrans said that the highway would likely be opened to two-way traffic by Tuesday morning. GOP lawmaker promotes immigration bill SACRAMENTO, (AP) — A California lawmaker and tea party member has introduced an anti-illegal immigration bill loosely modeled on the one that drew attention to Arizona last year. Republican state Assem- blyman Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County says his bill would go after so- called “sanctuary cities” and those who hire illegal immi- grants. It does not include lan- guage similar to the most high-profile provision of the Arizona law, which directs law enforcement officers to check the citizenship status of anyone they suspect of being in the country illegal- ly. Critics said that provision encourages racial profiling. The legislation, AB26, also increases punishments against sex and drug traf- fickers and other smugglers. It calls for penalties to dis- courage hiring illegal day laborers and requires citi- zenship verification for any- one applying for public ben- efits. Lawyer expects man to plead guilty in kidnap case SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An attorney in the case of a Northern Califor- nia girl held captive for 18 years said Monday he expects defendant Phillip Garrido to plead guilty to all charges and his wife to go to trial unless she gets a better plea deal. Lawyer Stephen Tapson, who represents defendant Nancy Garrido, said her husband will likely make the guilty plea on Thursday at a pretrial conference. ‘‘Unless some hitch develops, I’m 99 percent sure Phil will ‘plead to the sheet’ and possibly be sen- tenced at the same time if (the) judge has figured out the correct number of hun- dreds of years,’’ Tapson said, explaining he learned of the development from discussions with a lawyer for Phillip Garrido and the prosecutor in the case. Public defender Susan Gellman, who represents Phillip Garrido, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment. El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson declined to comment. The Garridos are each charged with 18 felony Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service Family owned & Operated Honor and Dignity 527-1732 722 Oak Street, Red Bluff, FD Lic. 1931 counts of false imprison- ment, rape and child pornography. They are accused of kid- napping 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive until their arrest in August 2009. Attorneys on all sides had said they wanted to avoid trial so Dugard did not have to testify, but that now seems unlikely, Tapson said. “Nancy never wanted her to have to testify,” said Tap- son. “She said that long ago and wanted a reasonable sentence, which the district attorney has rejected now.” Tapson said the initial offer to his 55-year-old client was 40 to 50 years in prison, which meant she could likely get out after 30 years. But prosecutor Pierson has said Tapson’s comments asking for compassion for Nancy Garrido were offen- sive. Phillip Garrido’s maxi- mum sentence in the case would be 563 years to life. LApolice officer shot on domestic violence call LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police blasted tear gas into a home Monday and traded gunfire with a man barricaded inside who is suspected of critically wounding an officer during a nightlong standoff. The man has been holed up in the Sylmar home for more than 12 hours, with police and sheriff’s officers in armored vests and hel- mets surrounding the dwelling. Police were using a fork- lift-like machine with an extensible arm to rip open some of the building’s sec- ond-floor to make the gun- man easier to spot, police Lt. Andy Neiman said. ‘‘He fired at officers sev- eral time during a 45- minute period,’’ Neiman said by phone as the stand- off stretched into the early afternoon. “He obviously couldn’t care less about the lives of others.” Officers returned fire at one point, but it was unclear whether they hit the gun- man, Neiman said. The unidentified man had been seen moving throughout the house and used several weapons but officers lost sight of him. ‘‘He could be injured, he could be lying in wait, hid- ing,’’ Neiman said. Officer Steven Jenkins was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, and some of his colleagues, including his partner, donat- ed blood to help him. Jenkins was shot through the jaw and near the collarbone as authorities planned to search the area. The standoff began Sun- day night, after a woman called 911 to report that her husband had beaten her, police said. She was badly battered, police Chief Charlie Beck said. Neiman said she was treated at the scene for scrapes and bruises to her face and neck. Because someone was reported injured, firefight- ers responded and saw the man driving up and down the street, apparently look- ing for his wife, Neiman said. The man had locked himself in the home by the time police arrived. Neigh- bors were evacuated as SWAT officers surrounded the home. Jenkins was shot at around 2 a.m. Monday. cremation your choice? Is Johnston said. “If it seems like it’s not a good idea, it’s not a good idea,” Johnston said. “Don’t go in it.” A transient is reported- ly still missing after falling into the river March 23 in an attempt to rescue his dog from a flooded transient camp in the East Sand Slough area. Deputies have since gone back to rescue three dogs from the camp but are still waiting for the water to recede and condi- tions to improve before launching a search for the man, 36-year-old Philip Paul Rice. “We’re monitoring the area and it is still too muddy to do anything,” Johnston said. “It’s just not a safe place to put our deputies right now.” ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com. owns and operates the only on-site crematory in Tehama County. • Your loved one NEVER leaves our care. • For your peace of mind, we personally perform cremations on site. • No hidden charges.
