Joel Prieto, 52, of Madera was driving a big rig in the slow lane and Juan Quinones, 24, of Burlington, Wash. was in the fast lane. The impact of the vehicles caused Quinones' Honda to veer out of control, crossing the center Ponderosa Way near Man- ton between the Shasta County line about six miles south of its intersec- tion with Forward Road. There are several forms that are used for different types of landscapes, McCubbins said. Simple fuel breaks that are created using dozers or hand crews who cut vegetation are often created in chap- arral bush lands and sim- ply clear an area for access. In a fuel break project in western Tehama County a different method is being used. The 20 mile fuel break in progress around the Tedoc mountain and Pat- tymocus look-out is being constructed using a ball and chain method. hang- ing over the side of the mountain.

The next step will probably be a default hearing. Acquiring property through emi- nent domain is not common for the county, Wylene said.

Guard members' pay wrong SACRAMENTO (AP) — A federal audit indicates that California National Guard members received mil- lions of dollars in improper incentive pay from 2005 through 2010. The Sacramento Bee reported Friday on a confiden- tial audit by the National Guard Bureau. Auditors blamed internal control breakdowns for allowing the payments intended to keep employees from taking pri- vate sector jobs.

Court: Blue Shield must pay for anorexia treatment LOS ANGELES (AP) — An appeals court decision has ordered Blue Shield of California to pay for a poli- cyholder's anorexia treatment, calling on insurers to treat mental illness with the same level of care as phys- ical illness is treated. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday said state law requires the insurer to pay for Jeanene Har- lick's nearly 10-month treatment for anorexia at a resi- dential care facility, though her plan didn't include the coverage. In a statement, Blue Shield spokesman Stephen Shivinsky said the insurer is reviewing the decision and would not provide further comment. To appeal the decision, the insurer would need to petition the U.S. Supreme Court. Since 1999, the California Mental Health Parity law has required insurers to cover treatment of mental health illnesses to the same degree that physical ail- ments are covered. In its opinion, the three-judge panel found that all health plans within the scope of the act must provide coverage of medically necessary treatments for nine specific severe mental illnesses outlined by the law. The illnesses that must be covered are: schizophre- nia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic dis- order, eating disorders, autism or pervasive develop- mental disorder, and serious emotional disturbances in children and adolescents. Harlick's lawyer Lisa Kantor praised the broad nature of the opinion, saying Blue Shield has interpret- ed the statute too narrowly in the past. The 33-page opinion overturns a lower court deci- sion dismissing Harlick's claim.
