While other teachers who have tried to ques- tion the discrepancies have been shunned, Southwick said he will continue to ask those questions, especially at a time when the district will be searching for a new administrator. “These are issues that are coming out of the clos- et and need to be addressed,” Southwick off the east road edge where it hit and launched off a dirt embankment before clipping the top strand of the eight-foot tall airport perimeter fence, he said.

Pacific salmon fishermen gear up for strong season SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — West coast commercial salmon fishermen are getting ready for what is expect- ed to be their most fruitful season in years, after feder- al fisheries regulators this week predicted a healthy Chinook salmon run this fall for the first time since 2007. The Pacific Fishery Management Council on Wednesday recommended that the season off the coast of California, Oregon and Washington open on May 1, and run into September. Fisheries managers estimated 730,000 Chinook would return to the Sacramento River this fall. This run of salmon provides many of the fish caught off of Cal- ifornia and southern Oregon, and has been plummeting in numbers in recent years. In 2009, a record-low 39,500 Chinook returned after estimates predicted 122,000 of the fish would swim their way under the Golden Gate Bridge into San Fran- cisco Bay, and up the river to spawn. “We are pleased to see that Sacramento River fall- Chinook salmon have rebounded nicely for California and Oregon fisheries,” said Mark Cedergreen, chair- man The National Marine Fisheries Service will vote to approve the recommendation May 1.
