DEATHNOTICES Brownsaidusingmoney to prevent floods is related to the drought because cli- mate change increases the likelihood of sudden storms overtaking communities, even in dry periods. He had already proposed spending the rest of the flood money as part of his January bud- get plan. The emergency legisla- tion also cracks down on water-guzzling marijuana farms by authorizing state fish and wildlife officials to fine growers up to $8,000 for illegally draining water from rivers and streams. That drew concerns from Republican lawmak- ers about expanding gov- ernment authority. Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, questioned how quickly lawmakers were pushing through the legislation, which was posted online a day before a vote. "What we are doing is capitalizing agencies of gov- ernment on an emergency situation to gain sweeping new powers," Nielsen said. "Members of the Legisla- ture don't even have an op- portunity to offer any cor- rections or changes." The legislation would also make about $75 mil- lion available to help resi- dents and wildlife affected by the dry conditions by providing food banks and emergency drinking water. Another $267 million from a water measure approved last year would fund grants for water recycling and ex- panding drinking water in small and poor cities. Not everything in the leg- islation deals with water. One provision approves a labor agreement expand- ing pay for prison psychol- ogists and social workers who have to help remove inmates with mental illness from cells because of a fed- eral court order. Keely Bosler, deputy di- rector of the Department of Finance, told lawmak- ers on Wednesday that the governor's office wanted the extra $647,000 approved as quickly as possible to ease the burden on supervisors who are filling in until the labor deal is finalized.

"Dinosaurs and planets are the best ex- amples.Soifwecangetthem at an early age thinking, 'I want to know more about science,' by the time they get tohighschool,they'llalready be halfway there." Demonstrations in mo- tion, heat, light, sound and pressure will be on display with the help of a laser light show, a bed of nails, a large vortex cannon, dry ice, liq- uid nitrogen and more. Kennedy said the show got its start after he saw a presentation on a similar event at a science, technol- ogy, engineering and math (STEM) conference. "I just thought, all right. I've got good kids, I've got awesome community sup- port," he said. "Just know- ing I had the support of the school, the students, the community, I knew we were going to be able to do some- thing like that." During the rehearsal, Kennedy walked through a demonstration in which the audience will be able to participate, which is a ma- jor point of the show. "It's not a play that they're watching," Ken- nedy said. "It's something we're all doing and think- ing about together." About 200 people at- tended the inaugural show last year, and that number is expected to rise Saturday. "I want people the next day telling people what they saw," Kennedy said.

The Red Bluff Kiwanis Club will hold its annual Easter egg hunt starting at 9 a.m. sharp Saturday at Jackson Heights Elemen- tary School. There are six age groups ranging from 1 year old to fifth grade and three prize eggs to be found in each cat- egory.

Plan to arrive early, as the hunt will begin promptly at 9 a.m. and the eggs are found quickly. The club switched to plastic eggs this year and each egg will contain a small piece of candy.

"He's on foot and he's hurt and we need an am- bulance here right now," Crosby says in a record- ing of the first of two calls that was released Wednes- day by the California High- way Patrol. "I'm worried about him a lot," he can be overheard tellingsomeonenexttohim. Crosby was driving near his Santa Barbara County home on Sunday when the accident occurred. He tells a dispatcher the sun was in his eyes and he couldn't see 46-year-old Jose Jimenez jogging on the same side of the road as his car. Jimenez, who was hospi- talized with broken bones, cuts and bruises, is ex- pected to survive. Crosby was not hurt. Authorities say the rock star was cooperative and neither drugs nor alcohol were involved in the crash. After a dispatcher as- sures him an ambulance is on the way and tells him to stay in place Crosby hangs up. But then he calls back and speaks with another dispatcher. "Is the ambulance on its way and how fast will it be here?" he asks. "I think this guy really needs an ambulance right now. " Crosby, 73, is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Byrds and Crosby, Stills and Nash. 911 CALLS Da vi d Cr os by r ep ea te dl y as ks f or a mb ul an ce a e r hi t The club switched to plastic eggs this year and each egg will contain a small piece of candy.

By Gillian Flaccus The Associated Press LONG BEACH A Califor- nia woman staged a bi- zarre plot to snatch two ba- bies from their mothers and pass them off as her own — a plot that ended with the death of a 3-week-old girl and the shooting and beat- ing of the childrens' moth- ers, police said Wednesday. Giseleangelique Rene D'Milian, 47, of Thousand Oaks followed a young mother she saw boarding a bus in Long Beach with the baby girl and later tried to have an acquaintance killed in a botched attempt to steal her son, authorities said. D'Milian and Anthony McCall, 29, of Vista, were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of murder, at- tempted murder, kidnap- ping, and conspiracy. Todd Boudreaux, 44, of Fontana and Charisse Shelton, 30, of Corona were arrested on suspicion of being accesso- ries after the fact. The suspects were ex- pected to make their first court appearance Friday. It wasn't clear whether they had retained attorneys yet or would request a public defender. "In my notes, I had the word 'evil' several times, and my staff told me to take it out but I can't sum- marizeitanyotherway,"Po- lice Chief Robert Luna said at an afternoon news con- ference. The plot began when D'Milian falsely told her married boyfriend that she had given birth to his twins last December while she was out of the country, Luna said. "In order to continue with this deception, she needed to produce two chil- dren who matched the ages of her fabricated twins," the chief said. The first effort on Jan. 3 had D'Milian and McColl using separate cars to fol- low the mother of a young girl who boarded a public bus in Long Beach, Luna said. When the woman got off the bus and began to walk home, D'Milian stopped her Range Rover and briefly talked to the woman about her child, Luna said. Less than two hours later, McCall snatched lit- tle Eliza Delacruz from her home, shooting and seri- ously wounding her parents and uncle, Luna said. The next day, the baby was found dead in a dump- ster in Imperial Beach, a city about 100 miles south of the girl's home. BIZARRE PLOT Police make arrests in death of weeks-old baby 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 Monroe 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.
