She said the county's programs for the home- less are limited, citing the lone PATH winter shelter. Supervisor Bob Wil- liams asked whether a need has been identified for the program. "Yes, we're one of the poorest counties," Reid said, adding she esti- mated around one in four adults and one in three children in Tehama County lives in poverty. Reid received several questions about eligibil- ity requirements, the pop- ulation size and duties of those in the program in order to continue to re- ceive aid. Reid said she was un- able to answer many of those questions Tuesday, but could provide the in- formation at a future date. One of the questions Reid was unable to answer came from Garton who asked whether there are provisions that could re- move people from the pro- gram if they committed a crime while receiving aid. He cited a hypothetical ex- ample of someone caught selling dope from federally funded housing. The board moved to ta- ble the grant approval un- til its next meeting. Chairman Steve Cham- blin assigned Garton and Supervisor Burt Bundy to work with Reid in the coming week with a list of questions the board would need answered.

"His vast knowledge and even temperament will — with- out question — add further luster to our highest court." It's Brown's second nom- ination since returning to the governor's office. In 2011, he filled a vacancy by appointing University of California, Berkeley, law professor Goodwin Liu to the California Supreme Court after Senate Repub- licans blocked his nomina- tion to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Democratic gover- nor will have a third open- ing to fill on the seven- member court when Jus- tice Joyce Kennard retires in April, and he will have more opportunities if he is re-elected to another four- year term in November. That could bring an end to a moderate Republican court dominated by appointees of governors George Deukme- jian and Pete Wilson. Gerald Uelmen, a Santa Clara University law school professor who studies the state Supreme Court, said Brown's second nomination of an academic is a depar- ture from appellate court promotions and means the high court could be more willing to take a fresh look at issues. Cuellar was born in Mat- amoros, Mexico, and walked across the border to at- tend school in Brownsville, Texas, according to the gov- ernor's office. He earned his law degree from Yale Law School and a doctoral de- gree in political science from Stanford University. He has been a law profes- sor at Stanford since 2001. Cuellar served as special assistant for justice and reg- ulatory policy in the Obama White House in 2009 and 2010 and was co-chair of the Obama transition team's immigration policy working group in 2008 and 2009. He also served as a congressio- nal adviser to the U.S. edu- cation secretary on how to close the achievement gap in public schools from 2011 to 2013, among other policy work. The California Latino Legislative Caucus ap- plauded Brown's nomina- tion, saying Cuellar will serve the public well given his extensive legal resume while adding to the diver- sity of the Supreme Court. "Indeed, he will bring a critical perspective, reliable judgment and even temper- ament to one of the most vital and challenging po- sitions of service," Sen. Ri- cardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, and Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, said in a joint statement Tuesday. Cuellar is married to U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh of the Northern District of Cal- ifornia. They have two chil- dren. The high court position pays $225,342 a year. The nomination will be submitted to the state bar's commission on ju- dicial nominees and con- firmed by a commission on judicial appointments. Court FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO San Fran- cisco lawmakers will decide whether a two-cent-per- ounce soda tax will appear on ballots this fall. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to decide Tues- day whether to put the tax before voters in November. Eight of the city's 11 super- visors have indicated they will support it. A committee voted to en- dorse the proposed measure last week. The tax on sugary drinks, including sports drinks and concentrated juice drinks, would have to be approved by two-thirds of the city's voters to take effect. The proceeds would go toward nutrition, health, disease prevention and recreation programs. ELECTION Board to decide if soda tax will go before voters The Associated Press SAN JOSE A water agency in the Silicon Valley is con- sidering a plan to hire sev- eral "water cops" to prevent residents from wasting wa- ter during California's his- toric drought. The Santa Clara Val- ley Water District on Tues- day will vote on whether to spend $500,000 to hire 10 temporary workers to en- force water restrictions in the area, according to the San Jose Mercury News. If approved, the work- ers will check in person on complaints involving prop- erty owners who are ac- cused of wasting water in- cluding sprinklers spray- ing onto paved surfaces, instead of lawns and plants. The water district asked its 1.8 million customers in Santa Clara County earlier this year to cut its water use by 20 percent compared to last year, but it has not yet met that goal. HISTORIC DROUGHT Agency to consider hiring "water cops" The Associated Press TWENTYNINE PALMS The missing, pregnant wife of a Marine might have been shot while hunting in Cali- fornia with a married man with whom she was having an affair, court document show. Erin Corwin, 20, who dis- appeared more than three weeks ago, had planned to meet with her neighbor, Christopher Brandon Lee, to spend a "special day to- gether" on a hunting trip, according to court filings cited by the Desert Sun on Monday (http://desert. sn/1sGKXes ). "It is highly likely that Erin could have been harmed by an unknown firearm," investigators wrote in the documents. "Sometime after Erin left with Lee, her phone was deactivated (turned off). Detectives believe if Erin was injured and left at an undisclosed location, she would not (be) able to call for help." A number of people have been interviewed in the dis- appearance of Corwin but no suspect has been named. Lee, 24, a former Ma- rine, told detectives he was not with Corwin on the day she disappeared. He said he went hunting in Joshua Tree National Park. Corwin disappeared on June 28 after she left her Twentynine Palms home. Investigators say she previ- ously said she was headed to the park. Her husband, Marine Cpl. Jonathan Cor- win, reported his wife miss- ing the next day. The investigation has come to focus on Lee, who may have been the father of Corwin's child, according to an affidavit filed by San Bernardino County sheriff's Detective Corey Emom. He wrote that he had re- viewed text messages sent by Corwin to a friend con- firming her romantic rela- tionship with Lee, and the couple had taken a day trip on the day she disappeared. When questioned by de- tectives, Lee said he had kissed Corwin but they never had sex, according to the affidavit. Lee was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of possessing a destruc- tive device. Lee, then a Ma- rine corporal, was taken into custody July 4 after a search warrant was served at a home in Yucca Valley and then released on bail two days later, the Sheriff's Department said. A day after that, he was honorably discharged after seven years in the Marine Corps, the Desert Sun said. Lee was arrested as part of an ongoing investigation, said sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller, who would not give more details. It was not immediately clear whether Lee had hired an attorney, and current contact information in his name could not be found. Several law enforcement agencies and hundreds of volunteers searched a broad swath of desert for Corwin. The search was scaled back last week and continues.

He had lived in Redding for many years but will be remembered by folks in Red Bluff as the founder of Western Land & Timber Sales, Inc. dba Western Real Estate Center. I first met Dick when he was doing business out of a one room shack on Main just south of the old St. Elizabeth Hospital…and across the street from either Ticor Title or Chicago Title at the time. I forget, which, but I'll never forget Dick Dopkins. It was 1975 and I had just lost the meat plant. I didn't know what to do, but I did know I didn't want to leave Red Bluff. I decided on either selling insurance or real estate. Fortunately I met with Dick and he said if I got my license, he would put me on his staff. I did and started working for him. Early on I earned my keep by finding corners on land for female sales people. At this time, Dick was managing 6 cabins next to his office, said he was too busy to do so and would I take them over? I jumped at the chance and soon property management became my forte. A few years later, Dr. O.T. Wood told me he wanted to sell his property at the corner of Main and Walnut. Investor Vernon McKale in San Francisco said he would buy the building (the former Clark's Drug Store) and we divided it into 4 suites keeping the prize corner office for Western Real Estate. Dick was pleased with the deal and agreed that if I got my broker's license, I could buy into the company and become his partner. That was a marriage made in heaven…although it had its ups and downs because of Dick's mercurial temperament. He was a very outgoing person and brilliant with business acumen. He developed two subdivisions 4 miles north of town…Red Bluff Northwest on the west and the Tabor Property on the east side of the intersection. In so doing he made a lot of money and built one of the first houses high atop Surrey Village. He also became very active in our local multiple listing association in addition to many other civic activities. However, eventually Dick's roller coaster personal life threatened our partnership and I bought him out. But, as rare as it may sound, we continued to be very close friends. I switched over to commercial sales and leasing and he opened up a residential real estate office across from his old office on Main…and was very successful as usual. Dick left a wife, 3 sons and an adopted daughter. He also left explicit instructions that he was to have no obituary and no services to mark his passing. Therefore I am going against his wishes…but felt that the many people that knew him in Red Bluff had the right to know of his passing. R.I.P.
