County officials believe they missed out on that award in the first round of funding because the proj- ect was not shovel ready at the time and have been moving forward with the environmental review pro- cess in anticipation of a new round of funding be- coming available. If that funding does come in a timely fashion, the county anticipates construction for the proj- ect to start in September 2016 and be completed by February 2018. The facility would in- clude the staffing of 14 cor- rection officers, two extra kitchen staff and seven Health Services Agency staff. The faculty would in- clude a kitchen, laundry area, numerous class- rooms, administration area and reporting center for those on work assign- ments. Some of the new ame- nities would allow for needed expansion and re- modeling of the facilities in the existing jail. The complete project covers a parcel of around 1.2 acres. The county's jail has been experiencing ca- pacity problems since the passage of Assembly Bill 109. The state's construc- tion of a new Tehama County Superior Court at the site of the coun- ty's Day Reporting Cen- ter has also triggered a number of governmental agencies needing to find new space. Tehama County Proba- tion opened up a tempo- rary day reporting center at 778 Antelope Blvd. Vote FROM PAGE 1 term of which expires in 2016.

The City Council will consider authorizing a roughly $456,000 agree- ment with Stoll Engi- neering that would "pro- vide the design, permit- ting and management services necessary to move the project toward the implementation of an enhanced boat launch fa- cility," according to city staff. The boat launch facility project, which would in- clude a two-lane boat ramp, new restroom, lighting and a concrete boat ready area, was approved by the City Council in August.

Renkens says most stu- dents and parents don't know about the "recruit- ing game," NCAA rules or how to get matched with the best college for them.

Expert FROM PAGE 1 By Kevin Freking Associated Press WASHINGTON California's congressional delegation will take a double hit when a new Congress convenes in January. Its two Democratic sen- ators will be serving in the minority for the first time since 2006, while the House delegation will have lost more than a century of leg- islative experience after a handful of Democrats and Republicans decided to re- tire. Chief among the losses, Democrat Henry Waxman is retiring after 20 terms. Colleague Nancy Pelosi said Waxman made his mark challenging sacred cows, most memorably the tobacco industry, where his work led to stronger health warnings on cigarettes and gave the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reg- ulatory authority over to- bacco products. He also tangled with the pharmaceutical industry, spearheading efforts in the House during the 1980s to make it easier for generic drugs to enter the market. "You name it: The bigger they were, the harder he fought," Pelosi said. Waxman, as chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, helped Democrats push through President Barack Obama's health-insur- ance overhaul in 2010. He also led the Democratic ef- fort in the House to pass a bill meant to curb climate change, which the Senate declined to consider. A fellow Democrat, Rep. George Miller, also is retir- ing after serving 20 terms. He helped push portions of the Affordable Care Act through his committee, Ed- ucation and the Workforce, as well. During the previ- ous administration of Presi- dent George W. Bush, Miller worked with Republicans to pass the No Child Left Be- hind education overhaul. The law beefed up test- ing requirements and held schools more accountable for poor performance. He also was a player on envi- ronmental issues, authoring a bill in the 1990s that re- quired more water from the federal Central Valley Proj- ect to go toward restoring fish and wildlife habitat. "Whatever state they would be from or whatever time in history they would have served, they are abso- lute giants in the history of the Congress," Pelosi said. Conservatives have a dif- ferent point of view about what California will be missing. Grover Norquist, a na- tional anti-tax advocate, said he felt ambivalence about Waxman and Miller leaving. With the GOP in control, they couldn't act on their priorities, anyway. His chief complaint about their work over the years was that whatever help they gave one group took from others in the form of higher taxes and fees. Miller said he was proud to steer the federal govern- ment toward a more active role in such areas as edu- cation and health care. "I came here to sort of take the scales of justice and see if I could move them a little bit for the disenfranchised," he said. California also is los- ing three veteran Republi- can congressmen in Buck McKeon, Gary Miller and John Campbell. McKeon, the most senior of the group, is the outgoing chair- man of the House Armed Services Committee, where he has fought efforts to re- duce military spending. He represented a con- gressional district whose major employers included Northrop Grumman, Lock- heed Martin and Boeing. One of his top clashes with the Pentagon involved its proposal to shut down the Air Force's Global Hawk, a high-altitude drone the Pen- tagon said was not cost-ef- fective. Critics said he was protecting parochial inter- ests. The plane is built in his district, but McKeon said the Air Force was using questionable assumptions and that reports he heard from military personnel in the field indicated a need for more intelligence. He ended up winning that par- ticular disagreement with the Pentagon. California still has friends in high places among its 53 House mem- bers, chiefly Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Ba- kersfield, who is expected to continue serving as the House Majority Leader. He will lead the GOP's fights over national policies, but he also has said he plans to use his position to raise awareness of valley fever. The soil-borne fungal infec- tion can be particularly de- bilitating for the elderly. McCarthy also can be ex- pected to take up the inter- ests of the agricultural com- munity whenever Congress revisits water policy. California also will have the top-ranking Democrat in the House in Pelosi, who will be serving her 15th term in the next Congress. California's Democratic senators will lose two-high profile committee assign- ments when Republicans take control, after winning the majority in November's midterm elections. Sen. Barbara Boxer will no longer lead the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, while Sen. Dianne Feinstein will step aside from leading the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence next year. CONGRESS California delegation loses wealth of experience HARRY HAMBURG — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., is retiring a er 20terms in Congress. The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO A series of storms was headed to- ward Northern California Friday and could bring more rain to parts of the region in one weekend than they have seen so far this season, forecast- ers said. As much as three inches of rain could fall on San Francisco from early Satur- day morning through Sun- day, National Weather Ser- vice forecaster Diana Hen- derson said. The city has received about 2½ inches of rain since July. Elsewhere in Northern California, up to a foot of snow was forecast over the weekend at higher eleva- tions in the Sierra Nevada, and coastal mountains could see as much as five inches of rain. The weather was expected to remain un- settled through much of the week. "It would be fantastic to see a really big storm," Jeff Powell told the San Jose Mercury News. Pow- ell was cleaning the roofs and decks that will capture water for his 25,000-gallon water storage system in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He estimated one inch of rain would provide 600 gallons of water. Forecasters say the rain and snow totals may get the region closer to normal precipitation levels for the season, but will not ease the ongoing drought. San Francisco should have a lit- tle more than four inches of rain by now, Henderson said. The Northern Sierra, meanwhile, has received about six inches of precip- itation since Oct. 1, about 67 percent of normal, Na- tional Weather Service forecaster Holly Osborne said. Both San Francisco and the Northern Sierra have received more pre- cipitation than they did over the same period last year. "These systems are not going to alleviate the drought," Henderson said. "It will move us closer to normal, but we have a long way to go." WEATHER St or ms c ou ld w al lo p pa rt s of N or th er n Ca lif or ni a The Associated Press PALO ALTO A detective with the Palo Alto Police Department has been dis- ciplined for forwarding an explicit photo of a suspect from a cellphone while the woman was under arrest, an audit report reveals. It's the second case in re- cent months in Northern California in which law en- forcement officers secretly obtained then shared pho- tos of women, the San Jose Mercury News reported Wednesday. In his report, Police Au- ditor Mike Gennaco said the Palo Alto detective looked through the wom- an's cellphone during a 2013 burglary investiga- tion. The detective was try- ing to determine where sto- len property was sent. Gennaco said the detec- tive found a photo of the woman scantily clad and sent it to his supervisor, who was also working on the case. The woman later discov- ered the photo had been sent and reported it. The audit says a depart- ment investigation found the detective exercised poor judgment and had no legitimate reason to for- ward the photograph. The Police Department "found that the detective had violated department policy and held him ac- countable," the audit said. The audit does not name the detective. It says he was disciplined but did not elaborate. The newspaper said it was told by Gennaco that the detective remains on the job. Palo Alto Police Lt. Zach- ary Perron in an emailed statement to The Associ- ated Press said he was un- able to comment on the personnel matter beyond what was in the audit re- port. The department did not forward the case to prose- cutors for their review, the Mercury News said. In October, California Highway Patrol officer Sean Harrington, who worked in the Dublin station, was charged with two counts of felony computer theft after two women accused him of taking nude and explicit photos from their phones while they were un- der arrest in drunken driv- ing cases. Harrington resigned and apologized through his attorney to the women and his colleagues in law en- forcement. He has pleaded not guilty.
