Reasons to shop locally The Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce suggests there are important reasons to shop locally. • Keep more dollars in the local community. • Support what makes the community unique — strengthen the agricultural and artist appeal. Nonprofits receive 350 percent more support from local business owners. • Promotes competition and diversity — based on the needs of the community—not on a national sales plan. • Local businesses know the community — they have a better understanding of their products and you most likely know the person behind the counter. • Create jobs — shopping locally increases the need for more jobs and keeps those jobs in the community. • Shopping locally reduces transportation emissions; less urban sprawl; less congestion and pollution.

Meanwhile, Williams has encouraged the board to invoke for- mal coordination with all federal and state agencies that work within the county. The supervisors passed a resolu- tion Aug. 30 demanding agencies involve the county in any projects or work done within its borders. Continuing with that process, the board is building a formal commit- tee to address coordination efforts. Although they continued the motion to allow time to look for a representative from the timber industry to participate, supervisors heard Tuesday from several people who have already applied to be on the nine-member committee.

Boone's head required 22 staples to close the five wounds and the knife wound was about dination issue. "I work to make sure managed recreation is recognized for its value," she said. She asserted that outdoor recre- ation is a viable resource generator and that it is important for the coun- ty and residents to "push back" against the federal government and others who restrict use of the public lands. Another committee applicant, Tom Knorr, a computer scientist and 16-year Tehama County cattle rancher, originally from Germany, suggested he could contribute to the committee in several different ways. "I want to help support in any way I can," Knorr said. The committee is set to include four official members, including Planning Director John Stoufer, Hencratt, Garton and Williams. Five community members are to include representatives for outdoor recreation interests, grazing and ranching interests, timber and water use interests and two members-at- large.

OCCUPY Continued from page 1A protests is likely to sur- pass $3 million, including the cost of more mutual aid needed when police removed the downtown encampment at City Hall for a second time on Nov. 14, according to Sgt.

Companies give GOP, regulators, different messages WASHINGTON (AP) — Large and small com- panies have told Republi- can-led congressional committees what the party wants to hear: dire predictions of plant clos- ings and layoffs if the Obama administration succeeds with plans to further curb air and water pollution. But their message to financial regulators and investors conveys less gloom and certainty. The administration itself has clouded the pic- ture by withdrawing or postponing some of the environmental initiatives that industry labeled as being among the most onerous. Still, Republicans plan to make what they say is regulatory overreach a 2012 campaign issue, taking aim at President Barack Obama, congres- sional Democrats and an aggressive Environmental Protection Agency. ''Republicans will be talking to voters this cam- paign season about how to keep Washington out of the way, so that job creators can feel confi- dent again to create jobs for Americans,'' said Joanna Burgos, a spokes- woman for the House Republican campaign organization. The Associated Press compared the companies' congressional testimony to company reports sub- mitted to the Securities and Exchange Commis- sion. The reports to the SEC consistently said the impact of environmental proposals is unknown or would not cause serious financial harm to a firm's finances. Companies can legiti- mately argue that their less gloomy SEC filings are correct, since most of the tougher anti-pollution proposals have not been finalized. And their offi- cials' testimony before congressional committees was sometimes on behalf of — and written by — trade associations, a per- spective that can differ from an individual com- pany's view. But the disparity in the messages shows that in a political environment, business has no misgiv- ings about describing potential economic horror stories to lawmakers. ''As an industry, we have said this before, we face a potential regulato- ry train wreck,'' Anthony Earley Jr., then the execu- tive chairman of DTE Energy in Michigan, told a House committee on SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Sonoma County offi- cials say they haven't seen any increase in crashes or crime under a policy that allows illegal immigrants to avoid potential deportation when they're stopped for minor traffic violations. April 15. ''Without the right policy, we could be headed for disaster.'' The severe economic consequences, he said, would be devastating to the electric utility's cus- tomers, especially Detroit residents who ''simply cannot afford'' higher rates. Earley, who is now chairman and CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric Corp., said if the EPA had its way, coal-fired plants would be replaced with natural gas — leading to a spike in gas prices. He said he was testifying for the electric industry, not just his company. But in its quarterly report to the SEC, Detroit-based DTE, which serves 3 million utility customers in Michigan, said that it was ''reviewing potential impacts of the proposed and recently finalized rules, but is not able to quantify the financial impact ... at this time.'' Skiles Boyd, a DTE vice president for envi- ronmental issues, said in an interview that the testi- mony was meant to con- vey the potential econom- ic hardship on ratepayers — while the SEC report focused on the company's financial condition. ''It's two different sub- jects,'' he said. Another congressional witness, Jim Pearce of chemical company FMC Corp., told a House hear- ing last Feb. 9: ''The cur- rent U.S. approach to reg- ulating greenhouse gases ... will lead U.S. natural soda ash producers to lose significant business to our offshore rivals....'' Soda ash is used to pro- duce glass, and is a major component of the compa- ny's business.. But in its annual report covering 2010 and sub- mitted to the SEC 13 days after the testimony, the company said it was ''premature to make any estimate of the costs of complying with un-enact- ed federal climate change legislation, or as yet un- implemented federal reg- ulations in the United States.'' The Philadel- phia-based company did not respond to a request for comment.. California Rep. Henry Waxman, the senior Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the SEC filings ''show that the anti-regulation rhetoric in Washington is political hot air with little or no connection to reality.'' House Republicans Sonoma County accepting Mexican ID from illegals custody. More than 1,000 police departments nationwide, including San Francisco's, accept the cards as valid ID. The San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/trKNQZ ) says the policy announced last month allows deputies to accept Mexican consular ID cards called matricula as identification when they stop drivers for infractions such as running stop signs. Illegal immigrants from Mexico can't obtain Cali- fornia driver's licenses and previously, when they were pulled over, authorities had to arrest them, which often led to deportation. Sheriff's Lt.

Red Bluff Garden Center 527-0886 766 Antelope Blvd. (Next to the Fairground) have conducted dozens of hearings, and passed more than a dozen bills to stop proposed environ- mental rules. So far, all the GOP bills have gone nowhere in the Democra- tic-run Senate. ''I will see to it, to the best of my ability, to try to stop everything,'' Cali- fornia Sen . Barbara Boxer, the Democratic chairman of the Senate's environment committee, vowed in reference to GOP legislation aimed at reining in the EPA. She predicted Republicans ''will lose seats over this.'' The Obama adminis- tration has reconsidered some of the environmen- tal proposals in response to the drumbeat from business groups. In Sep- tember, the president scrubbed a clean-air regu- lation that aimed to reduce health-threatening smog. Last May, EPA delayed indefinitely regu- lations to reduce toxic pollution from boilers and incinerators. James Rubright, CEO of Rock-Tenn Co., a Nor- cross, Ga.-based producer of corrugated-and-con- sumer packaging, told a House panel in Septem- ber that a variety of EPA, job safety and chemical security regulations would require ''signifi- cant capital investment'' — money that ''otherwise go to growth in manufac- turing capacity and the attendant production of jobs.'' Rubright conveyed a consulting firm's conclu- sion that EPA's original boiler proposal before the Obama administration withdrew it in May would have cost the for- est products industry about $7 billion, and the packaging industry $6.8 billion. Another industry study, he said, warned that original boiler rule would have placed 36 mills at risk and would have jeopardized more than 20,000 jobs in the pulp and paper industries — about 18 percent of the work force. But a month before his testimony— and three months after EPA with- drew its boiler proposal — Rock-Tenn told the SEC that ''future compli- ance with these environ- mental laws and regula- tions will not have a material adverse effect on our results or operations, financial condition or cash flows.'' The compa- ny did not respond to a request for comment.
