The night will include a keynote lecture by Dr. Da- vid DesMarais, senior sci- entist at NASA Ames Re- search Center. DesMarais was a member of NASA's 2003 Spirit and Opportu- nity Rover missions, the 2004 Mars Reconnais- sance Orbiter mission and the 2012 Curiosity Rover mission.

As Lassen and the National Park Service celebrate their respective centennials in 2016, I am excited about what the fu- ture holds for the park; I am equally honored to be a part of that future." Gibbons resides in Wash- ington state and is married to Regina Rochefort, a plant ecologist and science advi- sor at North Cascades Na- tional Park. They have two sons: Shane is an architect in Boston, and Taylor is working on an advanced degree in fish genetics and environmental adaptation at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Besides the Se- attle Seahawks, Gibbons' passions include family, friends and the mission of the National Park Service. In light of the National Park Service Centennial — and the park's own cen- tennial — coming in Au- gust 2016, Lassen Volcanic has numerous activities planned for the celebra- tion that summer. These include an inaugural cam- pout at the new Volcano Adventure Camp, a Dark Sky Dinner fundraiser event and the official re- opening of the Lassen Peak Trail and then the culmi- nating Day in the Park festival that will feature ranger programs, hikes, demonstrations, activities and special guest presen- tations.

During the height of the recession, state courts grappled with about $1 bil- lion in funding cuts that led to the closure of 52 courthouses and 202 court- rooms, 4,000 lost jobs, and reduced hours for public service at 30 courts, ac- cording to court staff. Gov. Jerry Brown's bud- get proposal would restore funding for state trial courts to $250 million less than pre-recession levels, according to reports by the nonpartisan Legisla- tive Analyst's Office. The chief justice said courts have found creative ways to deal with the cuts, including a rise in collab- orative courts and self-help centers to help Californians representing themselves in court. She said judges are pushing legislative propos- als to help identify similar programs. "We must accel- erate our search for innova- tions and efficiencies," Can- til-Sakauye said. Her speech didn't ad- dress a report blasting how California courts manage taxpayer money. In a re- port issued in January, the state auditor questioned $30 million in compensa- tion and other expenses by the agency administering the court system.

DEATH NOTICES Beginning next fall Los Molinos will have a high school in which will be taught practically all of the prescribed high school branches. This was decided at a meeting of Los Molinos citizens and trustees of the Corning high school district held at Corning last night. In the Los Molinos Party were Justice F. T. Hall, J. M. Tin- gley, Charley Carter, W. H. Fleming and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Keefe, Miss Mamie Lang, county superinten- dent, was also present. Under present condi- tions Los Molinos is pay- ing for the bonds which built the Corning high school and paying taxes to hire teachers with out get- ting any high school ben- efits, it being practically impossible for pupils liv- ing on the colony to at- tend high school at Corn- ing. Last year a move was made to have the high school district provide transportation for Los Molinos pupils, but this could not be worked out satisfactorily. The high school trust- ees have now agreed to rent the Los Molinos Land company hall at Los Moli- nos, employ a high school teacher, provide janitor service and will endorse J. M. Tingley for high school trustee, thus giving Los Molinos representation on the board. March 24, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

RED BLUFF ROUND-UP PRCA to present Roughstock Rodeo camp By Janet Mcconnaughey The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS A magis- trate on Monday ordered millionaire Robert Durst held without bond on weap- ons charges in Louisiana and said the man accused of killing his friend 15 years ago in California was both a flight risk and a danger to others. Durst, 71, was seated be- side his lawyers, his hands shackled to his sides in pad- ded cuffs. He has been in a prison's mental health unit for nearly a week. Jail offi- cials have called him a sui- cide risk. Mag istrate Ha r r y Cantrell set a preliminary hearing in the weapons case for April 2. Durst is accused of kill- ing Susan Berman in 2000, but his lawyers say his ar- rest was illegal and orches- trated to coincide with the finale of an HBO series about his links to three kill- ings. He was arrested March 14 at a New Orleans hotel on a Los Angeles County warrant accusing him of murder and in jail two days later on the Louisiana weapons charges. On Monday, defense at- torney Dick DeGuerin said he never expected the mag- istrate to set bond. "We were able to get a lot of information we didn't have before," DeGuerin said after the hearing. "... I think all in all we had a very good day." One of the weapons charges alleges that Durst had a .38-caliber revolver; previous felony convictions make that illegal. The other charge alleges he had the weapon and illegal drugs: more than 5 ounces of mar- ijuana. Prosecutors have not said whether they will bring those charges before a grand jury. None of Durst's previ- ous convictions was seri- ous enough to merit the felon in possession charge, his attorneys say. Durst had registered at the J.W. Marriott Hotel under the name Everette Ward, and a search of his hotel room turned up his passport, nearly $43,000 in cash, a gun, and a rubber or latex mask that could cover his head and neck, according to a search war- rant for his Houston condo. Durst, a member of a wealthy New York real es- tate family, was charged with murder in Califor- nia for the December 2000 shooting death of Susan Berman. His arrest came one day before the finale of "The Jinx," the show about his links to his first wife's dis- appearance in 1982; the death of Berman, a mob- ster's daughter who acted as his spokeswoman after his wife went missing; and a 71-year-old neighbor in Texas whose dismembered body was found floating in Galveston Bay in 2001. Durst has been tried only for the Texas killing, and he was acquitted of mur- der. Durst waived extradi- tion in New Orleans but is being held on the weapons charges. During Monday's hear- ing, DeGuerin asked that prosecutor-turned-TV-host Jeanine Pirro be removed from the courtroom as a potential witness. He said he wanted to question her. "She's here because she's been participating in the dogging of Mr. Durst for years," he said. But Cantrell ruled that Pirro would not testify. FUGITIVE HEIR No b on d fo r mi ll io na ir e Du rs t on w ea po ns c ha rg es MARYE.HENDRICKSON Celebrating the life of Mary Hendrickson, a memorial ro- sary and mass will be held Friday, March 27th at 10:30 a.m. in Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Red Bluff. Both distant and local family looks forward to enjoying a time of closure and sharing. The reception following the serv- ice will be held at the parish hall on North Main St. in Red Bluff. This unique woman's passing leaves holes in the hearts of many, including her surviving children: Bob Hendrick- son (Sandy) of Coulee Dam, Wa; Maggie Andersen (Ed) of Palo Cedro, Ca. Local grandchildren are Craig, Matt and Mark Pritchard, Mary Sargent and Josie Hendrickson. Out of state grandchildren include Ben, Matt and Joe Hendrickson. Presently there are 22 biological "Greats". Her generous heart and open door were always welcom- ing many for a cup of coffee or child care. At 98 remarkable years, her "spiritual suitcase" was packed with her long thought out Faith, enthusiasm and curiosity. Mary still had questions but looked forward to her new journey in exploring the REALITY OF HER FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. She joins her husband, Joseph Franklin, and her children Mary Jo Garcia and Donald William in celebrating God's Mercy and Grace found on- ly through deaths open door. After 63 years in her Beverley Avenue home, she refer- red to skilled nursing as "God's Waiting Room". The family gratefully thanks Brentwood Hospital for their sen- sitive insight and professional care the last 2 months.
