"Think about what you're saying to our com- munity and new business- es," Cappello said. "You're telling them after 3 years in business you'll get slapped with another tax." Resident John Elko said the original ordinance does not include RV parks and campgrounds, which means the amendment is an expansion of the tax DEBRA LYNNE DUNBAR Debra Lynne Dunbar, 55, of Red Bluff, California, passed away while in the loving care of Red Bluff Health Center on August 31st, 2011 after a long illness.

She may no longer be in Kansas, but there's no place like Home. Brown vetoes limits on protests at Calif. funerals SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill that would have made it a crime for pro- testers to disrupt a funeral and kept them 1,000 feet away from mourners. In a veto announced by Brown's office Wednesday, the governor says he opposes offensive actions by pro- testers, but he says SB888 violates guidelines in a March U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The bill by Democratic Sen. Ted Lieu of Torrance would have applied to all funeral protests, but it target- ed those by the Westboro Baptist Church. Members of the Kansas church have protested at military funerals around the country, saying the deaths are God's punishment for a culture that tolerates homo- sexuality. A serviceman's family sued the church, but the high court upheld the group's right to protest. Eureka mulls moratorium on pot dispensary permits EUREKA (AP) — Renewed federal scrutiny of medical marijuana sales in California has led one town in the heart of the state's pot country to rethink its pol- icy on retailers who dispense the drug. The Eureka City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday to instruct city staffers to craft a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensary permits. The Humboldt County town's current ordinance allows for four dispensary permits. Only one would-be dispensary has started the application process so far. The city received a letter from U.S. Attorney Melin- da Haag in July warning against carrying out the ordi- nance, The Times-Standard of Eureka reports. "The department is concerned about the city of Eureka's creation of a licensing scheme ... as it autho- rizes conduct contrary to federal law and threatens the federal government's efforts to regulate the possession, manufacturing and trafficking of controlled sub- stances,'' Haag wrote. Paton appointed CEO of MediaNews Group DENVER (AP) — John Paton has been appointed CEO of MediaNews Group Inc., the company that owns the Daily News, replacing William Dean Singleton, who announced in January he would step down as chief execu- tive. The appointment of Paton, a digitally focused media executive with his own blog, underscores MediaNews' shift toward delivering news across all platforms, not just print, as more readers get their news online from traditional media and social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Paton said his digital-first strategy doesn't ignore print but allocates resources to transform traditional media into multimedia, multiplatform companies focused on local news that readers will seek out. ''The goal is to pursue quality journalism,'' Paton told The Associated Press. ''There's room for crowdsourcing, but we need to have professional journalists, and that means we need healthy news organizations. If we're going to be healthy, we have to be digitally focused.'' Singleton, also chairman of The Associated Press, will remain chairman of MediaNews and publisher of The Post and The Salt Lake Tribune, two of more than 50 newspapers owned by Denver-based MediaNews. Paton also is chief executive officer for The Journal Reg- ister Co., another newspaper publisher now owned by lenders after a trip through bankruptcy court. The Alden Global Capital hedge fund acquired JRC earlier this year, and two Alden managing directors are on the MediaNews board. alarm company reported glass breaking.

"They were outstanding DEBATE Continued from page 1A invoked the memory of the conservative Republican who swept to two terms as president. And for much of the evening, the two men were at the center of the action, largely reducing their rivals to the roles of spectators looking for a way into the action. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman sided with Perry when he turned to Romney and said, ''47th just isn't going to cut it, my friend,'' a reference to the rank Mass- achusetts had among the 50 states in creating jobs dur- ing Romney's term. But he also sought to rebut Perry's claim to be chief executive of the coun- try's top job-producing state. ''I hate to rain on the parade of the great Lone Star State governor, but as governor of Utah, we were the No. 1 job creator during my years in service,'' Huntsman said. Businessman Herman Cain, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former House Speaker Newt Gin- grich and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania shared the stage for the debate hosted by MSNBC and Politico. Not surprisingly, the GOP contenders had little good to say about Obama, either his record on creating jobs or the health care law they have vowed to repeal if they win the White House. Perry was an exception, volunteering his praise for the presidential order that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden in a U.S. military raid in Pakistan. He also said he was happy the U.S. prison at Guantanamo has been kept open. On another foreign poli- cy issue, Bachmann criti- cized Obama's decision to join an international mili- tary campaign in Libya. Bachman also said she would provide the ''strong, bold leader in the presiden- cy who will lead'' the effort base and needs to be put up to a vote as required by Proposition 218. "The craving for more tax money seems to have blinded the city as to what the original 1965 ordi- nance really says," Elko said. The amendment was passed by a vote of 3-2 with councilmen Rob Schmid and Forrest Flynn dissenting. Flynn had earlier made a motion to scrap the amendment and leave the ordinance as is, but his motion failed due to a lack of support. If the city attorney and the staff is saying the city already has the right to collect TOT under the existing ordinance, then there is no need for the change, he said. "If we change in the middle of the stream it's us saying there's something wrong with it," Flynn said. Pat Patterson, a guest at Durango, agreed with Flynn, saying if the city is going to fight with Duran- go, it needs to continue fighting on the same ground and the same wording in order for the fight to be fair. City Attorney Richard Crabtree said the clarifica- found crashed into the store and unoccupied, the release said. No one was found inside the store and the business owner was called. Video surveillance showed two suspects going inside the store after the crash, the release said. One sus- pect tried to break into the ATM but failed. No suspect descriptions have been released at this time, but the Young Marines will be on hand to carry in the Amer- ican flag, which will be raised and then lowered to half-mast.

Stone, 15, has been busy with competitions and singing at fairs, to repeal the health care law passed at Obama's behest. ''None of us should ever think that the repeal bill will just come to our desk,'' she said in a pledge that drew applause from the audience. Gingrich resisted an effort to draw him into con- flict with other Republicans on stage. ''I'm frankly not interested in your efforts to get Republicans fighting each other,'' he said, spark- ing an even louder round of applause. He said all Republicans should ''defeat efforts by the news media'' to spark an internal struggle when the real objective is to defeat Obama in 2012. But moments later, Cain said that after trying to defeat Democratic efforts to create national health care, ''I'm running against Romneycare,'' the legisla- tion that passed requiring residents of Massachusetts to purchase coverage. Social Security pro- duced more sparks, when Perry said the program was a ''Ponzi scheme'' and added it was a lie to tell young workers they will ever receive the benefits they have been promised. Romney quickly referred to Perry's book, ''Fed Up,'' in which the Texas governor said that by any measure the program was a failure. Perry also said states should be able to opt out of the program,' Romney added. Perry was unrepentant — ''You cannot keep the status quo in place and call it anything other than a Ponzi scheme,'' he said. The Texas governor also made it clear he doesn't intend to take advice from Karl Rove, the former Bush tion is not required, as the city has always interpreted the ordinance to include RV parks and campground and the change is not is it aimed at Durango. The city has tried to enforce the policy with Durango to no avail. The change is for businesses down the road. If there's a legal battle with Durango it will be on the old verbiage, not new, Crabtree said. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.co m. crash appeared intentional, said Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston. Because crimes such as this are rare in this county, but common to areas like Sacramento, the sheriff's office is considering that the sus- pects are not from this area, John- ston said.

''Karl has been over the top for a long time now,'' he said. Backstage, Romney and Perry exchanged small talk, but when they were intro- duced on stage, they stood stiffly side by side. Romney, slightly taller and just an arm's length away for the debate, fre- quently turned his body toward Perry when the Texas governor spoke, watching him intently. When Romney talked about rebuilding the Mass- achusetts economy, Perry looked toward the audience with a broadly arched eye- brow. Despite their clashes, Romney defended Perry from criticism from other contenders who said he had infringed on parents' rights when he tried to require young girls to be vaccinat- ed for sexually transmitted diseases and some cancers. Romney said he had dis- agreed with Perry's meth- ods but that the Texas gov- ernor's heart was in the right place — then sought to move the conversation away from social issues and back to job creation. The event was Perry's first opportunity to share a debate stage with his rivals since he joined the race last month and shot to the top of the public opinion polls. He displaced Romney as front- runner and stepped on the momentum that Bachmann had generated with her vic- tory in a straw poll at the Iowa State Fair earlier in the summer. A governor for more than a decade, he seemed at tonesmusic. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com. ease on stage in his cam- paign debut and moved quickly to assert his claim to having the best record of all on stage in creating jobs. ''We created 1 million jobs in the state of Texas at the same time the United States lost 2 million,'' he said, adding that the issue for the nation this election season is ''who on this stage can get America working. Because we know for a fact that the resident of the White House cannot.'' Romney threw the first jab of the evening, saying that being a career politi- cian is a ''fine profession'' but not the same as having worked in the business world, as he did. That was a reference to Perry, who moved quickly to counter. He said Romney had indeed done well creating jobs in the business world, but ''when he moved that experience to government, he had one of the lowest job creation rates in the coun- try. ... As a matter of fact, we created more jobs in the last three months in Texas than he created in four years in Massachusetts.'' Romney didn't exactly challenge that claim, but instead said Texas has no income tax, has a right-to- work law that makes it hard for unions to organize, plentiful oil and gas reserves and a Republican legislature. Massachusetts has none of those things, and he said he had turned the state's economy around. from the First Church of God will say a prayer along with a few words. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com.
