The POA in December presented a vote of no confi- dence in Nanfito to the City Council, alleging that Nan- fito's leadership has led to a high attrition rate at the Po- lice Department. The DSA in January, in a letter authored by Ma- ria, presented further accu- sations regarding Nanfito's leadership. City Manager Richard Crabtree previously said the city had retained an investi- gator to look into the allega- tions made by the two asso- ciations. Nanfito, who was pres- ent at Tuesday's City Coun- cil meeting, has previously called the allegations a "smear campaign." Maria further told coun- cil members that his philos- ophy on government is "very simple." "The role of government is to protect liberty," he said, adding that the priorities of any candidate seeking office "should be to liberty first, and constitutional policies and upholding their oath of office." Maria said if he were ap- pointed he would have a goal of growing business in Red Bluff by 5 percent dur- ing his term. Drury told the City Coun- cil that he has community- minded ideas for the city, in- cluding creating or "better maintaining" a recreation center for youths in the area. He added that he would work to bring more busi- nesses to Red Bluff, in- cluding those in which em- ployees could have careers rather than minimum-wage jobs. He added that he has owned a local business. "Obviously I'm young, but I'm at the age (23) right now where I'm starting to settle down," Drury said. "I'm finishing my educa- tion, I'm engaged and I'm looking to find a career. And I would like to be able to maintain a career close to home where I grew up, where I was born, where I've been raised, where I've been actively involved." Drury, who ran for the District 2 seat on the Te- hama County Board of Su- pervisors last year, said he's been involved in various po- litical movements, includ- ing the State of Jefferson movement. "If selected I would like to uphold this position with honor, and the transpar- ency and integrity that you, with the council, and others before have maintained." When the City Council revisits the appointment process on March 17, Coun- cilwoman Daniele Jackson indicated that it could re- semble a town-hall like meeting. The public would be able to submit questions for the applicants before any appointment would be made. The City Council has until March 27 to appoint someone to the vacant seat before a special election would automatically be called. City staff has said a spe- cial election would cost the city between $15,000 and $20,000. The City Council also could call its own special election, which could take place in November. Mayor Clay Parker fur- ther noted that an all-mail special election could be held in August. Council FROM PAGE 1 Californians last year. California still owes $8.7 billion to the federal gov- ernment for unemployment loans. Jobless FROM PAGE 1 The sites considered include the former True Value Hardware store at 330 S. Main St., the Daily News, the former CVS building at the Belle Mill Landing shopping com- plex, New Hope Church at 925 Walnut St., the for- mer Kraft Library at 909 Jefferson St., the Tehama County Courthouse Annex at 445 Pine St. and the for- mer site of the Cinderella Motel, 600 Rio St. The preferred Kimball Road location and the run- ner-up site at 1106 Main St. were also reconsidered. The Ad Hoc Committee and the architects found the only two feasible lo- cations were the Kimball Road new construction project or a conversion of the Daily News building. JK Architecture will evaluate both sites and complete a concept floor plan for both properties. That work is expected to be completed by June 2015. Supervisor Steve Cham- blin, who sits on the Ad Hoc Committee with Su- pervisor Candy Carlson, said either site would be wonderful. While a new building would be great, he said the Daily News building may offer more value for the county's dol- lar. Acting Librarian Sally Ainsworth said library staff supported either site, but the Daily News loca- tion could offer a lot of ex- tra features. Goodwin said the Daily News building would offer a unique opportunity to in- corporate Tehama County history into the future of the site, it would also offer additional space for histor- ical clerk records. Supervisor Dennis Gar- ton noted the closeness of the Daily News building to the Shasta College campus as a positive. The 17,295-square-foot Daily News building was built in 1979.

The Associated Press SACRAMENTO More mu- tilated animals have been found in California's capi- tal city, the fourth discov- ery in less than a week. KXTV reported that two bags containing dead ani- mals werefound besiderail- roadtracksinMidtownSac- ramento on Tuesday night. One bag contained a beheaded rabbit with sev- eral candles. A second bag held at least two decapi- tated chickens with their feet cut off. RABBIT, CHICKENS More mutilated animals found By Alicia Chang The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Smog-cov- ered mountains, gritty side- walks, smelly fumes from traffic-choked freeways. The Los Angeles area was a tough place to breathe several decades ago. Now a study shows how much that has changed, especially for the region's youngest resi- dents. Children in recent years breathed cleaner air and had stronger lungs com- pared to those who were studied two decades ear- lier, researchers found. The improved health coincided with drastic reductions in pollution in the Los Ange- les basin and surrounding areas as air quality regula- tors cracked down on emis- sions from tailpipes and smokestacks. While the research fo- cused on Southern Cali- fornia, the results suggest that other cities with dirty air may see a health boost with a cleanup effort. Since pollutants such as particulate matter and ni- trogen dioxide tend to be higher in cities, reducing "those pollutants should lead to improved health for children living in any urban environment," said lead researcher Jim Gaud- erman, a professor of pre- ventive medicine at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. Smog was first docu- mented in Los Angeles dur- ing World War II when a thick haze reduced visibil- ity to three city blocks and irritated residents' eyes. For decades, the city struggled with air pollu- tion. As LA's population grew, so did the number of vehicles on the road. In the 1970s, unhealthy air was recorded more than 200 days a year. The air was so bad that it blotted out the San Ga- briel Mountains and chil- dren didn't play outside when health advisories were in effect. Air quality has since im- proved thanks to stricter emissions rules for cars, trucks, ships and factories. In the study, research- ers tracked the lung devel- opment of more than 2,000 children in five Southern California communities beginning in the mid-90s. Teams traveled to schools and asked children to blow into a device that measures how strong their lungs are and how much air they can exhale in one second. As pollution declined over the years so did the percentage of children who had weak lung function, from about 8 percent dur- ing 1994 to 1998 to about 4 percent in 2007-2011. Researchers also found that health improved with cleaner air regardless of gender, ethnicity, educa- tion and other factors. The findings appear in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. In an accompanying editorial, researchers not connected with the study said there's an incentive to continue cutting air pollution. "The current report and other studies suggest that further improvement in air quality may have bene- ficial public health effects," wrote Douglas Dockery and James Ware of Har- vard University. CLEANER AIR The Associated Press SUNNYVALE An appeals court on Wednesday upheld a San Francisco Bay Area city's ban on gun magazines that can hold more than 10 cartridges. The 9th US. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected gun owners' arguments that Sunnyvale's ban violated Second Amendment rights raised by the National Rifle Association and others op- posed to the ordinance. "Sunnyvale's interests in promoting public safety and reducing violent crime were substantial and im- portant government inter- ests," Judge Michael Daly Hawkins wrote for the unan- imous three-judge panel. Hawkins said the ban "does not affect the ability of law-abiding citizens to possess" handguns, a fun- damental right strength- ened by a seminal U.S. Su- preme Court ruling in 2008. Gun right advocates have used the Supreme Court rul- ing to challenge numerous restrictions enacted across the country. State law banned the sale and manufacturer of high-capacity magazines since 2000. But Sunnyvale's voter-approved ban goes further, prohibiting posses- sion of high-capacity mag- azines. The ruling upheld a lower court. San Francisco, Los Ange- les and other cities in Cali- fornia and across the coun- try have enacted or are con- sidering similar bans. Several other federal courts across the country have made similar rulings. None have struck down a ban. Chuck Michel, a gun- rights lawyer challenging the ban, said he plans to appeal the ruling. Michel could ask a larger panel of 9th Circuit judges to re- consider the case or he can petition the U.S. Supreme Court. 3-JUDGE PANEL Appeals court upholds gun-magazine ban WALLY FONG — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS For decades, the city struggled with air pollution.
