DEATH NOTICES By Lisa Leff The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Califor- nia health officials may no longer hide from pub- lic view all the relevant de- tails about citations issued to hospitals and nursing homes serving the mentally ill and developmentally dis- abled, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday. The seven-member court ruled unanimously that only the names of patients may be omitted when the California Department of Public Health releases re- cords describing the sanc- tions it imposed on long- term care facilities for pro- viding improper care or endangering clients. The decision came in a case brought by the Center for Investigative Reporting. A reporter for the nonprofit news organization who was investigating alleged pa- tient abuse at seven state- run residential facilities requested citations for the sites under the California Public Records Act. Health department offi- cials provided four years' worth of heavily excised documents that listed only licensing information, the regulation violated and a vague reference to the pa- tient rights at issue. "They were completely redacted. You wouldn't have any understanding of the facts that led to the issuance of the cita- tion," said Duffy Carolan, a First Amendment lawyer who represented the Cen- ter for Investigative Re- porting. State health officials had maintained that a 1967 law required them to cen- sor the documents to pro- tect patient confidentiality. A mid-level appeals court had agreed in part, ruling that patients' names, diag- nosis, medical history and the harm caused by the cited offense could all be withheld. But the state Supreme Court said a 1973 law that gave the health depart- ment authority to inves- tigate and sanction long- term care facilities clearly states that citations are public records from which only patient names need to be withheld. "The Legislature that en- acted the Long Term Care Act was no doubt aware of the privacy concerns pre- sented by public disclosure of information obtained in the course of treating men- tally ill and developmen- tally disabled individuals," Justice Goodwin Liu said in writing for the court. Yet the act "expressly mandates that every writ- ing DPH generates ... is a matter of public record sub- ject only to the redaction of the names of the individu- als involved," Liu wrote. Department of Public Health spokeswoman Anita Gore said officials were re- viewing the decision and had no comment. Liu used an incident at a Northern California center to illustrate what the health department suppressed. An un-redacted citation ob- tained by the Center for In- vestigative Reporting de- scribed how one-third of the verbally impaired pa- tients in a particular ward had injuries consistent with a Taser gun. Yet the version supplied by the health department only stated the number of the federal code that "says nothing more than that a vi- olation of Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, part 483.420, subdivision (a) (5) — Protection of clients' rights — occurred." HOSPITALS Co ur t ru le s ag ai ns t st at e in p ub li c re co rd s di sp ut e that a summer fair would likely mean more children would be involved in the auction. "When we went to Sep- tember, we lost kids," Col- lins said. He added, "I think the impact would be we'd probably get more individuals involved ... Is that a good thing or a bad thing? As far as kids be- ing involved, it's a good thing. As far as selling, who knows." The Junior Livestock Auction here facilitated more than $700,000 in sales on 317 lots last year. Some have said a July fair would be held during the warmest time of the year, possibly curbing at- tendance. Durrer pointed to the Crawdad Festival held at the fairgrounds in June 2013. The event was met with temperatures reach- ing 111, severely affecting attendance. The fair board could take on a recommenda- tion from its committee exploring a possible fair date change at its meet- ing March 17. Survey FROM PAGE 1 Behrens, of Dignity Health.

Thankyou! form law requires most peo- ple to have insurance or face a tax penalty that in- creases each year. The penalty for a person who makes $40,000 a year will increase from $299 in 2014 to nearly $600 in 2015. And a family of four with that same income would see fines increase from $500 to nearly $1,000. The exchange said many of the mistakes on the tax forms were related to num- ber of months a household had coverage. For exam- ple, the 1095-A form may have stated that a family had coverage from April through September, but the family was covered from April through October. The state sent email and postcard notices to peo- ple who received the in- correct forms to let them know they would be receiv- ing new forms. All updated forms should be sent out in the next few weeks, Scul- lary said. Anyone who received a wrong tax form but has al- ready filed their tax return is being advised to consult a tax professional. Consumers have com- plained about poor cus- tomer service, difficulty making changes, as well as trouble getting or drop- ping coverage since the on- line marketplace launched in October 2013.

Tax FROM PAGE 1 By Tami Abdollah The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A gunman who killed six University of California, Santa Bar- bara students searched on- line for ways to silently kill before using knives to stab to death his first three vic- tims, one of them 94 times, according to a sheriff's de- partment report. Stab and slash marks on a fitted sheet and several pillows suggest 22-year-old Elliot Rodger rehearsed his actions. In a final handwrit- ten journal entry dated that day, he wrote: "This is it. In one hour I will have my re- venge on this cruel world. I HATE YOU ALLLL! DIE." The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office re- leased the 64-page report Thursday summarizing the results of their investiga- tion into the May 23 ram- page and providing new details on how Rodger, the son of a Hollywood direc- tor, killed his two room- mates and their friend in his apartment, gunned down two women outside a sorority and killed a sixth person. Fourteen people were also injured. Rodger used two long fixed-blade knives, in- cluding a nearly 9-inch boar hunting knife, to kill roommates James Hong and Weihan "David" Wang, both 20, and a vis- iting friend, George Chen, 19. Chen was stabbed 94 times, according to the re- port. Rodger had been ran- domly assigned to share the Isla Vista apartment with Hong and Wang. Rodger searched online for "quiet silent kill with a knife" before likely am- bushing each and stabbing them. The Isla Vista rampage was foreshadowed by a chilling Internet video in which he vowed to his vic- tims that he would "take great pleasure in slaugh- tering all of you." The families of Hong, Wang and Chen have crit- icized the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office for not tell- ing them how they believe the killings were carried out, and said they are an- gered by public health and legal systems that they said value the rights of the men- tally ill, including Rodger, over those who may be- come their victims. "It's Chinese New Year today and that is the most important day in the Chi- nese calendar," said attor- ney Todd Becker. "All of our clients are of Chinese de- scent and it's really an in- appropriate day for this in- formation to be released by the Sheriff's Department." Becker said the fami- lies, upon learning of the impending release, had asked sheriff's officials to delay for the holiday. Rodger raced through Isla Vista in his black BMW, engaging deputies in two separate shoot- outs and leaving a trail of bloodshed that ended with him shooting him- self in the head before crashing into a parked car. Inside the car depu- ties found three semi-auto- matic handguns with 400 unspent rounds. All were purchased legally. The rampage happened hours after he looked into a video camera and warned in a disturbing Internet video that he would slaugh- ter those with a good life — especially women who shunned him, leaving him a 22-year-old virgin, au- thorities said. He also left a 137-page manifesto in which he de- tailed his life and his disap- pointments with his family and women. A representative for Rod- ger's family did not imme- diately comment on the re- port's release. Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office deputies were criticized for not searching Elliot Rodger's apartment for weapons during a welfare check weeks prior to the rampage when his parents became concerned about his post- ings on YouTube.
