She and Jack toured the United States in 1984 trav- eling through the southern states and up the east coast to Canada where they saw the Pope in Montreal and then back west to Red Bluff.

It also is giving cities and counties $490 million in other assorted law enforcement grants. In Los Angeles County, Assistant Sheriff Cecil Rhambo Jr. said in late October that the county's more than 22,000 jail beds might be full by Christ- mas. But department spokesman Steve Whit- more said the jails now are expected to reach capacity next spring or summer. The county is using some of the money it received from the state to hire more deputies, which will let the county accommodate more inmates, Whitmore said. Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, a Republican, has been one of the most out- spoken critics of the law, which was sought by Gov. Jerry Brown and approved by the Democrats who control the Legislature. He predicts an increase in crime as a result. Cooley said his attor- neys have been trained to comb offenders' criminal histories, searching for factors that would enhance In the suit, Bird alleges that Ross had probable cause to questioned Nielsen's eligibility as a candidate in the previous election but failed to do so. The injunction must be put in place before Nielsen tries to apply to be a can- didate again. County Counsel said Bird's suit is flawed because it fails to name the real party of interest — Nielsen. The demurrer lists other reasons the case should be thrown out, including a failure to state a sufficient cause of action. Cox filed a motion Monday asking the court to find Bird as a vexatious litigant, more commonly referred to as a person who files frivolous law- suits. In the past seven years Bird has filed four civil suits in Tehama County Court, nine suits in the U.S. Eastern District Court of California and two appeals in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, according to the motion. A court date has been Tehama, $32,000 was allotted to purchase a replacement vehicle for use in the area. More than $41,000 will be set aside for unspecified uses in Tehama law enforcement. District Attorney Gregg Cohen requested that the $25,360 allotted his agency be set aside for salaries and benefits within the department. The specific allotments were decided through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Oversight Com- mittee meeting Nov. 9. The funding recommendations include balances and interest held over from prior years' funding. COPS originated through state CalFire along with other fire agencies has increased their prepared- ness by staffing additional state wildland fire engines, dozers, fire crews, and air- craft. These state resources will be posi- tioned throughout the state to allow for rapid response into communities and watershed areas that may be affected by a fast mov- ing wildfire. The increased staffing includes the coun- ty fire departments of Ven- tura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Kern, and set for 1:30 p.m., Dec. 19, in Department 3 for a judge to rule on the demurrer and motions.

Residents are encour- aged to exercise extreme caution when in or near the wildland or open areas to prevent a fire. It is important that everyone monitor the weather and be on the lookout for fires. If fires occur in the area be prepared to follow all instructions of fire and law enforcement officials if an evacuation is ordered. Winds of the forecasted School officials say an anony- mous caller said a bomb would go off in the Student Services Center sometime Wednesday. The center was cleared out, and the area around it taped off. Officials the charges against them and thus, if convicted, send them to state prison instead of county jail. ''We will look for every way around this that is ethical, honest, legitimate and lawful,'' Cooley said. ''We are going to give the courts the option to send them to 'the joint' if it's appropriate.'' San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon is taking a far different approach in a county that has seen no great influx of inmates. He has proposed that the county Board of Supervisors create a local sentencing commission that would help determine punishment based on criminals' risk to public safety. About 70 percent of the jail population in San Francisco and Los Ange- les County is awaiting trial, and many of the detainees could be safety released using alternatives such as GPS tracking, he velocity can cause condi- tions to change rapidly and the public is encour- aged to review "Ready, Set, Go" procedures at www.ReadyForWildfire.o rg. Each person and fami- ly should insure that they are "Set" for a potential emergency situation and prepared to activate the "Go" (evacuation) portion in a calm and safe manner.

''We are going to be doing business differently, but I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing,'' Gascon said. ''The reality is that if you look at the way we have incarcerated people and the recidivism rate, we haven't been doing a very good job.'' Currently, about seven of every 10 inmates paroled statewide quickly commit a new crime, a recidivism rate far above the national average. The shift is creating other challenges for local authorities. ''The common denomi- nator to all these folks is an addiction to metham- phetamine,'' Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said of the inmates in his county who previously would have gone to state prisons. ''That creates the chal- lenges in getting them the services they need.'' Local officials also are dealing with dangerous criminals despite promises from state lawmakers that they would only face those convicted of non-serious, nonviolent and non-sex offenders. ''They are a large num- ber, maybe even a majori- ty, that have serious and violent offenses in their rap sheets,'' even if their current offense is relative- ly minor, said Sacramento County Chief Probation Officer Don Meyer.
