Richard was born April 28, 1921 in Bountiful, Utah to Henry D. Call and Violet Wood Call. Richard attended Davis High School in Kaysville, Utah and graduated from Utah State in 1943. He was the intra- mural boxing and wrestling champion, member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Junior Class President. After graduation from college and ROTC he was commis- sioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was an infantry officer (platoon leader) in the 44th In- fantry Division fighting in France, Germany, and Austria. He was awarded the Bronze Star. The citation reads, in part: "finding the enemy entrenched, he prevented them from crossing a canal. Lt. Call immediately placed himself at the head of his men and led them over the Neckar Riv- er over a partially destroyed bridge, despite intense ene- my fire." Richard lived in Layton, Ogden, Castle Dale, and Roose- velt, Utah before moving to Fresno, CA then to Red Bluff, CA in 1965. He worked 30 years for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service. He was honor- ed for his service in 1969 by Governor Reagan. He served as National President of the American Soil Conser- vation Society. He expanded his farm holdings to include the Sycamore Ranch in Los Molinos. He had a passion for farming that kept him strong, working until his late eighties.

Most of the local law enforcement officials who spoke during the special joint meeting of the Board of Supervi- sors and the Red Bluff, Corning and Tehama city councils agreed. David Nichols, district administrator for the California Department of Correc- tions and Rehabilitation said the lan- guage of the bill is lengthy and vague with plans for implementation on the county level unclear. But even if signed into law it would not go into effect until a funding source is named. Brown’s plan calls for $5.9 billion of the vehicle and sales taxes to fund the realignment, with guaranteed money to local governments, but he has been unable to persuade Republicans to approve the election. County Chief Probation Officer Richard Muench said the funding to implement the law will not be enough for the additional workload. “The unknown factor has been how much money are we getting for how much workload,” Muench said. In Tehama County there are 216 juve- niles and 536 adults on probation. The shift would bring about 133 additional parolees. Without tax extensions the probation department would lose about $330,000, which would most likely result in his department losing four probation offi- cers. exceed budgeted amounts. Business license fees continue to exceed expecta- tions by an estimated $30,000. “It’s amazing me how well we’re doing with that,” Ryan said. While those type of rev- enues are up, property tax is down. Taxable property values are estimated to have decreased 7.2 percent from the prior year, according to numbers by HdL. The decrease is almost accelerated in reverse at Gasik’s vehicle. Gasik moved forward and Hawkins stopped before pulling up next to Gasik where he yelled death threats out an open window. A CHP officer arrived in the area at this time and stopped both vehicles on Cypress Avenue at Bechelli Lane where it was determined that Hawkins was under the influence of alcohol. Hawkins was arrested on the charges of DUI: alcohol, assault with a deadly weapon and mak- ing terrorist threats. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com. Sheriff Dave Hencratt said the addi- tional inmates would impact the popula- tion of the county jail. The jail is a 227- bed facility with an average of 170 inmates daily. County jails are designed to be short-term holding facilities prior to long-term incarceration in state prison, but this will change that. A marketing ploy the state has used to promote the law is that housing inmates on a county level would be about half the cost of housing them in state prison, he said. “As the time goes on and more serve time in county jail that price will go up,” Hencratt said. Police Chief Paul Nanfito said his concern is that there is no funding provi- sion for front line law enforcement who will have to deal with increased crime. “We can predict realignment is going to impact crime rate in some way, shape or form,” Nanfito said. District Attorney Gregg Cohen said his greatest fear is that the jail will become stacked and criminals would go unpunished. Those who don’t face con- sequences will most likely not change their behavior. “I am concerned about the future of public safety in California and in Tehama County,” Cohen said. Supervisors and council members said it is unfortunate the state is shifting the responsibility to counties with no guid- ance on implementation. “I don’t know whether to be scared to death or not,” Supervisor Gregg Avilla said. “This whole situation with the pris- oners is a mess.” ——— Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com.

Jerry Brown on Wednesday began laying out the possible conse- quences of balancing Cali- fornia’s remaining $15.4 billion budget deficit sole- ly through spending cuts — including a doubling of University of California tuition — as he pushes for a compromise with Repub- licans on his proposal for a special election on taxes. In an address to the Cal- ifornia Hospital Associa- tion, Brown said UC undergraduate fees could hit $20,000 to $25,000 a year if the Legislature approves and he signs an all-cuts budget. 12 noon at the LDS Church at 111 Marguerite, Corning, CA with a viewing at 11:00 A.M.

Visit at: Assembly guards to carry guns SACRAMENTO (AP) — The recent shooting of an Arizona congresswoman and threats against several Cali- fornia state lawmakers have prompted officials who guard state Assembly members to carry handguns full-time. California Assembly sergeants previously were armed only when threat levels were high or during large events, Assembly spokeswoman Shannon Murphy said. Beginning this month, they started carrying .40 cal- iber Smith & Wesson semiautomatic handguns on duty. Current fees are nearly $12,000 for in-state stu- dents, plus thousands of dollars more for books and other fees. They are sched- uled to rise by more than $900 a year next fall. Brown said California’s universities and colleges are its “engine of creativity and wealth and well- being.” Tuition that high would make the UC system the most expensive public uni- versities in the world, said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the Washing- ton, D.C.-based American 529-3655 www.affordablemortuary.net Council on Education. “I think it’s an awful prospect. The University of California has been a beacon of hope, the state’s best mechanism for eco- nomic growth and social mobility for two genera- tions,” he said. UC regents are calculat- ing the possible effects on fees of various budget sce- narios and haven’t come up with an estimated figure if the governor signed an all-cuts budget, said Steve Montiel, a spokesman for UC President Mark Yudof. The presidents of the UC, California State Uni- versity and California Community College sys- tems met Tuesday with Brown after leading a rally at the state Capitol to pre- serve funding. Brown already signed new information. All the changes consid- ered, the city’s general fund end balance for June 30 has increased approximately $75,000 over last month’s estimate, Ryan said. With conservative estimates the city continues to expect ending the year within available revenue. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com.

Brown warns of soaring UC costs in all-cuts budget SACRAMENTO (AP) into law budget bills that reduce California’s $26.6 deficit by $11.2 billion. That includes a $1 billion cut to higher education programs that officials say will lead to larger class sizes and lower enroll- ment. Despite ending talks with Republican lawmak- ers last week, the Democ- ratic governor said he still hopes to strike a deal for a special election to ask vot- ers to extend temporary increases to the sales, per- sonal income and vehicle taxes. The remaining tax increases will expire by June 30, but Brown wants them renewed for five years. He had hoped to ask voters to extend the taxes in a June special election, but he couldn’t get the two Located in Chico, CA Republican votes in each chamber of the state Legis- lature needed to approve the plan. Later Wednesday, Brown asked the state’s top law enforcement officials to encourage Republicans to support his budget pro- posal, repeating that he only needs four votes in all. “We’ve got to get them. If we don’t get them, we are going to crash,” he said of the GOP votes. “Because I’m not going to sit here and paper it over, and kick the can down the road.” Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153,
