The Associated Press GOLETA Officials from Plains All American Pipe- line say they are formulat- ing a site safety plan to ex- cavate the broken section of a pipeline that spilled oil along the California coast. The company says de- tails of the plan could be released Tuesday, but it's unclear when excavation might begin. The company is still measuring the spill as it cleans up along the Santa Barbara County coastline. Meanwhile Tuesday, various federal, state and local agencies briefed the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors about their oil spill re- sponse. Oil blackened area beaches and created a 10-square-mile slick in the ocean after the on- shore pipeline ruptured May 19. Wildlife officials say 13 birds — mostly brown pel- icans — and eight marine mammals, including dol- phins and sea lions, were found dead. OIL SPILL The Associated Press LOS ANGELES An audit finds workers in a division of the Los Angeles Depart- ment of Transportation collected unusually high amounts of overtime pay in a single year, including one superintendent effec- tively tripling his annual salary. City Controller Ron Gal- perin released a report Tuesday showing workers in the DOT's traffic paint and sign division billed an average of $48,100 in overtime in fiscal year 2013-14. That's compared with about $8,300 in many other city departments. One superintendent claimed $155,319 in over- time, on top of his $78,000 annual salary. Galperin tells the Los Angeles Times the high amount of overtime com- bined with a lack of proper controls raised questions about whether employees were truly working during the extra hours. New DOT General Man- ager Seleta Reynolds says the audit's recommenda- tions are being put into ac- tion.

CHRIS CARLSON — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Staff members and volunteers work to clean oil off a brown pelican at the International Bird Rescue office in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles on Friday. A broken onshore pipeline near Santa Barbara spewed oil down a storm drain and into the ocean for several hours last week before it was shut off. Company making plan to excavate ruptured California pipeline By Fenit Nirappil The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Califor- nians who visit crisis preg- nancy centers must know whether the facility is li- censed and that abortion is an option under legislation advanced Tuesday by the state Assembly. AB775 advanced on a party-line vote with Repub- lican saying it would violate free speech protections. The bill responded to re- ports of misinformation at pregnancy centers that are opposed to abortion, in- cluding an unsubstantiated link between abortion and breast cancer. "Women in California de- servetoknowalloftheirop- tions about family planning and reproductive health care so they can make truly informed decision," said bill author Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, D-Ingle- wood. Her legislation with As- semblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, would require pregnancy cen- ters to post notices saying that reproductive health services, including abor- tion, are available to preg- nant women and may be fi- nanced under government programs. It would not re- quire referrals to abortion clinics. The centers would also have to disclose if they are not medically licensed. Republican lawmakers say the provisions compel private groups that aren't funded by the government to violate their founding be- liefs. "Having this organiza- tion required to carry a gov- ernment message is clearly constitutionally wrong," saidAssemblywomanShan- non Grove, R-Bakersfield. PARTY-LINE VOTE California bill compels abortion notice at pregnancy centers ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THE PASSING PARADE (FrommyISaycolumnof20August1965) The LosAngeles riots affect us all. We felt it Monday morning. We had loaded our truck Sunday afternoon with 40,000 pounds of cow carcass for delivery to Giant Meat Company in LosAngeles. The driver, Pete Knaeble, was scheduled to unload at 6 a.m. but I received a call from him at 2pm Monday saying that they still had not unloaded him and said it would be Tuesday before they could do so. They not only had a shortage of Negro meat cutters at Giant, but also many of the retail store outlets had burned down. I tried some tough talk with the Giant manager but to no avail. So, remembering the old business adage, "The first loss is the best loss", I told Pete to drive to San Francisco where I had managed to dispose of the load at a quarter of a cent per pound less. That loss, plus the cost of hauling the meat to LosAngeles and then back to San Francisco costs us several thousand bucks It is rumored the Governor Brown will probably levy a tax to pay for the property damage in the Watts area, but the damage to the Civil Rights movement will not be so easily adjusted. Historian Will Durant wrote, "I have made the discovery that Liberty is a product of order". I guess Civil Rights are a product of liberty. Of course, if anyone would have asked me, I would have started the Civil Rights movement differently a long time ago. I would have advocated integrating only the 1st grade in schools, and in that manner, colored and white could have grown up together in an atmosphere of mutual respect. But then, nobody asked me. … At the Fair last week, John Owens sold hisAngus steer to Rhuel andArtein of Spokane, Washington and we processed it at our plant. John had originally bought the steer from his uncle, Craig Owens. The animal weighed 635 pounds at 10 months of age and John barn-fed the animal on Krow-Mix fromAlbers. However, the object of this story is that this steer was the first that we have processed under the grade and yield system, which has graded Prime, #1. That means it has the maximum marbling (fat) in the meat (for tenderness) and yet very little fat on the outside ergo a very desirable beef. John has been an FFAmember for three years. He made $250.00 on this little transaction. I wonder if Uncle Craig has done as well. … Aphoto on the front page of the DN of the same date was captioned, "Chance to fill the freezer. Bob Minch, of Minch's Wholesale Meats. is shown with a 275 pound side of beef from a choice steer, which is being donated to the Channel 9Auction on the 28th ofAugust." Bob, indeed!
