LIBRARY Continued from page 1A of the library books will remain while others will be moved to appropriate classrooms. Ward, sympathetic with the county’s budget problems, has seen a decline in school district funds as well, he said. A shrinking budget should make people know what their priorities are. “I hope this library could be maintained,” Ward said. The computer access is critically important when only half of the families in the school district have computers, a statistic that is far below the state average, he said. Howev- er, the message is bigger than that. “This library is symbolic as well,” Ward said. “We spend so much time promoting literacy. Closing shows that the community doesn’t value libraries.” Ward acknowledged the community interest. “All of us are here because libraries are special places for us,” he said. “It would be tragic to see it close.” Following the meeting, Hudson was satisfied that things went well, she said. “Some understood that we don’t have the money,” Hud- son said. Hudson took the time to describe more thoroughly the bookmobile being created using a surplus county transit bus and shelving and materials from the Los Molinos library. The bookmobile is a 17-foot bus with a wheelchair lift that staff plans to drive to smaller communities in the coun- ty with a rotating collection of materials and services. “We’re not trying to get rid of the library,” she said. “Just replace it with a different kind of service.” Before the meeting ended, many vowed to spread the word and attend the July 26 Board of Supervisors meeting. The board will be deciding whether to send a letter to the property landlord to finalize the vacancy date. Sue Gallagher, another library advocate, was hopeful that something could be done. The dismal part was that it sounded like it was an open and shut decision, she said. “We’re all still in shock,” Gallagher said. If the doors close Aug. 31, there’s no hope of saving the library, she said. The hope is that the supervisors will delay the decision to pull out from the library’s lease until all resources and possibilities could be explored. Gallagher has asked people to send letters to the clerk of the board for all of the supervisors to read before the meet- ing. The board will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday in the board chambers, 727 Oak St., in Red Bluff. To view the agenda item, go to www.co.tehama.ca.us.

STATE BRIEFING San Francisco closer to sending trash to Yuba County SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco is moving forward with plans to send millions of tons of trash to a landfill in Yuba County. A Board of Supervisors’ committee on Wednes- day agreed to a contract with San Francisco-based Recology that would send city trash to a 236-acre landfill near the Yuba County city of Wheatland. The full board is expected to take up the propos- al next week. The city’s current landfill contract with Waste Management expires in 2015. Under that deal, city trash is deposited at Waste Management’s Altamont Landfill site in Livermore. City officials say the deal with Recology would save $100 million over the life of the contract. Critics dispute that figure, saying Yuba County could raise the cost of using the landfill. Waste Management filed a lawsuit this week to block the proposed deal. Woman to stand trial in meth breast milk death EUREKA (AP) — A Humboldt County judge has ordered a woman to stand trial in the death of her newborn son after he drank her methampheta- mine-laced breast milk. Maggie Jean Wortman is charged with involun- tary manslaughter and child endangerment. Deputy District Attorney Ben McLaughlin told the Times-Standard of Eureka that his office is con- sidering whether to upgrade the charge. He says prosecutors may pursue voluntary manslaughter or second-degree murder based on evidence presented during Wednesday’s preliminary hearing. Authorities say Wortman used meth during her pregnancy and after her children were born and passed on the drug through her breast milk. Toxicology reports on the body of 6-week-old Michael Acosta III came back positive for meth, and her 19-month-old daughter also tested positive for it. Wortman’s attorney, M.C. Bruce, did not imme- diately return a call for comment Thursday. Californians don’t want to pay for more prisons LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new poll shows tight- fisted Californians don’t want to spend more for prisons to ease overcrowding. The Los Angeles Times-University of Southern California Dornsife College poll released Thursday shows a shift in attitudes about tough sentencing rules. The state is working to comply with court- ordered cuts to the prison population. More than 60 percent of those polled say they support reducing life sentences for third strike offenders convicted of property crimes. Nearly 70 percent say they favor early release of some low-level offenders whose crimes did not involve violence. And about 80 percent say they approve keeping nonviolent offenders in county jails rather that state prisons. The survey of 1,507 registered California voters from July 6 to July 17 has a sampling error of plus or minus 2.52 percentage points. ——— Information from: Los Angeles Times, http://www.latimes.com Over 50 years of serving Tehama County Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792
