Roger Dreyer, the lawyer for 27-year-old Niki Bell, hailed Tuesday’s jury award against Vonore, Tenn.-based MasterCraft Boat Co. Dreyer said the company’s MasterCraft X45 boat had a design flaw that caused its front end to sub- merge during a turn and throw Bell and another woman into the water on July 9, 2006. The boat’s propeller hit Bell in the head, fractur- ing her skull and ripping out an eye. The other woman, Bethany Wallenburg, was slashed across her back. The jury awarded her $500,000. MasterCraft’s lawyer, Thomas Dale Nielsen, told the Sacramento Bee reckless driving, not the boat, was to blame for the accident. The company is considering an appeal.

The study session was a first step toward adopting district boundary changes. The first proposal adjusts a sec- tion of the Bend area to reflect school district changes that were enacted in 1999. The school dis- trict is split between two districts. The proposed change would group the community entirely under Dis- trict 3. Proposal No. 2 would affect the Tehama County portion of the Orland Joint Unified School Dis- trict. The new boundary would put the area into District 5, taking it out of District 4. The third proposal, for the Ante- lope Creek area, increases an area of District 3 that borders Butler Slough. The affected portion of Lassen View School District would move from District 5 to District 3. Proposal No. 4 reflects a subdivi- sion that was annexed by the city of Red Bluff in 2001. The district line no longer matches the city limits. The “Stoneco” subdivision off Gen- try Way in Red Bluff is split between districts 1 and 2. The pro- posal would move the entire subdi- vision into District 1. The last proposal involves an uninhabited area owned by the Greenville Rancheria that is in Dis- trict 2. Although it will not affect population deviations, it will match new city limits. The property was annexed to the city of Red Bluff in 2010. Staff agreed to look at a possible alternative to the Antelope Creek proposal that would adjust the boundary to follow a creek line PHONES Continued from page 1A records available in January didn’t reflect the changes. Others were never phones. About 7,000 accounts with wireless com- panies were actually for data of Helser Chevrolet in August. Based on previous data, the city had budgeted for an estimated $2.3 million in sales tax revenue. The new data from HdL pro- jects sales tax revenues to be at $2,471,000, which increased total revenue in the general fund by about $171,000. An updated budget through April of this year shows the city will end the fiscal year on June 30 with a balance of $96,809 in the general fund. of $11,000 from the motor vehicle fees tax, but that was offset by revenue decline in the planning and parks departments. The decline in planning department revenue can be attributed to money that was put in the wrong account, Ryan said. About $15,000 was moved over to the building department because the money was revenue from a building permit. The building department is not funded by the general fund. A savings of $16,000 There was an increase was realized after expens- es for McGlynn Pool were subtracted. Non-profit Blues for the Pool is expected to pay for those costs. While the city will end the fiscal year on the upside, there is minimal funding for the upcoming year. A projected $283,500 shortfall is expected in the 2011-2012 fiscal year. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com. instead of Kauffman Avenue, at the suggestion of Supervisor Dennis Garton.

The effort hinges in part on whether to extend temporary tax increases until voters can consider them. The GOP is balking at a ‘‘bridge’’ extension of the taxes until the election, which Brown wants to hold in September. Lawmakers have until June 15 to deliver a balanced budget. The cuts to cellphones were just the first of a series of measures Brown announced as he pushed for a quick budget deal early this year. Critics sue to stop Nevada bear hunt RENO, Nev. (AP) — A group seeking a court order to block Nevada’s first legal hunting season for black bears says the hunt set to begin Aug. 20 will do noth- ing to address nuisance bear problems at Lake Tahoe but could threaten the safety of visitors and residents alike. ‘‘The people at Lake Tahoe are more afraid of the bear hunters than they are the bears,’’ said Chris- tine Schwamberger, a lawyer for NoBearHunt- NV.org who filed the law- suit Tuesday in district court in Carson City. ‘‘There has never been a fatal bear attack in Nevada but we will submit reports of bear hunting accidents that occur all the time across the country,’’ she said Wednesday. The suit against the state and the Nevada Wildlife Commission Board of Directors seeks an emer- gency injunction that would put off any bear hunting season at least for another year. The commission has issued 45 tags for the sea- son to run Aug. 20-Dec. 31. However, the hunt is limit- ed to 20 total bears — six females — and will stop when that limit is reached. State wildlife biologists estimate there are an esti- mated 200 to 300 adult black bears in the Carson Range around the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, with additional bears in ranges to the south. They said Neva- da’s bear population is growing at a rate of about 16 percent annually. On a 7-1 vote in May, the commission refused to hear a formal administrative appeal from NoBearHunt- NV.org. Commission Chair- man Scott Raine of Eureka said people have strong feelings on both sides of the issue, but that the hunt ‘‘clearly justified on the bio- logical end of it.’’ Among other things, the lawsuit contends the com- mission illegally violated state administrative proce- Located in Chico, CA Combining Quality and Low Cost is what we do. 529-3655 www.affordablemortuary.net dures due to insufficient noticing of a December public hearing. It also says the panel failed to establish a specific ‘‘need’’ for the hunt, as required by state law, and failed to adequate- ly assess the potential for harm to the local tourism- based economy. ‘‘The law says they must have a management reason before they can implement a hunting season. They can’t just say, we’ve got enough bears to hunt so let’s hunt them,’’ Schwamberger said. ‘‘They just want to hunt bears, period. They want to trophy hunt.’’ Some backers of the hunt said it would help rid the Tahoe area of nuisance bears that rummage through trash cans and sometimes break into homes in search of food. ‘‘But NDOW’s own biologists and publications and all academic studies specifically state that a hunt will do nothing to cure the nuisance bear problem,’’ Schwamberger said in a recent interview. ‘‘That is strictly a function of bear- proof trash containers.’’ ‘‘The real issue is that bear habitat is being degraded and there’s hous- ing construction taking place everywhere so the bears are being forced into the urban areas for food. What the wildlife commis- sion should be doing is addressing bear habitat.’’
