DEATHNOTICES "In the meantime the city will not spend money working on fixing the upstairs restaurant," Crabtree said. "This is because the current op- erator of the restaurant has chosen to cease op- erations." It appears likely that the restaurant will re- main closed until con- struction in the new fa- cility downstairs is com- pleted, Crabtree said. "I am hopeful that construction will com- mence within 60 days," Crabtree said. Cafe FROM PAGE 1 Home" on iTunes.

Gonsalez got out of his vehicle and got into a fight with the two men, dur- ing which Gonsalez was knocked to the ground, causing minor abrasions to his knees, the release said. While Gonsalez was on the ground, the men stole his wallet, cash and a cell phone. The men attempted to take Gonsalez's car keys, but he was able to hold onto them, Graham said. Following the fight, the men got into a red, four- door sedan and left north- bound on Gilmore Road. The suspects have not been identified.

The mention of a 10- year contract regarding a vending machine was a concern, but it was just an example and all items would be brought before the board for approval be- fore being put in place, said Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin. Carlson asked whether the Phase II section could be modified after the plan had been certified. It could be modified within the principals and concepts that had been laid out, Goodwin said. Supervisor Dennis Gar- ton was not concerned with the plan unless it started adding extra staff, he said. He did not want to see any additional staff added until positions other departments lost through economic recession had been replaced, Garton said. The first phase of the plan will not require any further staff time and will allow the county to accept donations, such as free car seats from AAA. The county could previously accept them, but the mar- keting plan would allow it to publicly acknowledge those donations, County Counsel Arthur Wylene said. This may bring about more donations. Acceptance of Phase I would not require the county to accept all do- nations. They could be turned down if they did not meet the county's val- ues or benefit its residents, Brown said. The second phase would be to actively seek out do- nations and sponsorships, which would potentially take about 5 percent to 10 percent of time a year for both the Economic Devel- opment Jobs Coordinator and the Chief Adminis- trator. It should take lit- tle time to maintain once the cash flow has been es- tablished and all proposals would come before the su- pervisors, Brown said. A series of six free vid- eos was offered to the county, but could not be accepted for lack of a mar- keting plan a few years ago. The series would be especially beneficial in light of the update to the county's website, Good- win said. The videos, shot lo- cally, could be used to highlight the positive things in Tehama County such as the agriculture, area businesses and dif- ferent parks and recre- ational opportunities, Goodwin said. "It would be a huge ben- efit to the county and we can choose what to high- light in Tehama County," Goodwin said.

By Jacobo Garcia The Associated Press BOGOTA, COLOMBIA For weeks, billboards on buses and television spots have been announcing what promises to be Colombia's next big prime-time sensa- tion. But the planned debut Wednesday of a TV soap opera dramatizing the life of Colombia's only Roman Catholic saint is shrouded in controversy after devo- tees of the missionary nun known universally as Madre Laura filed a lawsuit seeking to correct what they say is an unseemly depiction. Born in Colombia's cof- fee-growing region in 1874, Laura Montoya was a nun and teacher who devoted her life to protecting indige- nous tribes from discrimina- tion when not outright vio- lence by the country's white elite. Her work on their be- half was emulated in poor, mostly black and indigenous communities across Colom- bia and today hundreds of missionaries from her order are in 21 countries, from An- gola to Haiti. Montoya was canon- ized in 2012 by Pope Bene- dict XVI and her sainthood confirmed by Pope Francis a year later in a ceremony that saw Colombia, one of Latin America's most fer- vently Catholic nations, re- joice with pride. Bogota-based Caracol, which is producing the 24-episode mega-produc- tion "Laura, the Colombian Saint," is known as one of the most-thriving tele- novela factories in Latin America. But most of the network's productions, with names like "Without Breasts There's No Paradise" and "Cartel of the Snitches," tend to follow more sinful story lines that are popular with audiences but often criti- cized as inappropriate. Given the anything-goes reputation of Colombia's airwaves, often in conflict with the country's deep faith, some sort of combus- tion over the series' premiere was probably unavoidable. The Congregation of Mis- sionaries of Mary Immacu- late and St. Catherine of Si- enna, the order founded by Montoya, says that despite repeated requests it was never consulted by Caracol about the script. The group questions the network's right to use Montoya's name and image, whose copyright it claims. The order also has de- nounced the telenovela over fears that it will depict ro- mantic relationships it says never existed and over taste- less dialogue by men criticiz- ing Montoya's physical ap- pearance. "We're all disgusted by the bad image they're giv- ing our saint," Mother Maria del Carmen, a devotee who lives in congregation's head- quarters in western Antio- quia province, told The As- sociated Press. She stressed that she was speaking for herself and not the organi- zation. "The network wants a high rating among young audiences without adapting the script to her biography and putting things out there that aren't real," she said. Caracol issued a state- ment saying it is unable to comment while the lawsuit is pending but that under no circumstances will the show be pulled from the air. One of the nun's biog- raphers says her devotees may be overreacting. To date the only segment of the telenovela that Colom- bians have seen is a six- minute trailer showing a young Montoya touching hands with a suitor but otherwise resolute in her faith and missionary work. "The nuns are scandal- ized by everything," said Manuel Diaz Alvarez, a priest living in Venezuela who wrote a 2004 biogra- phy of Montoya. "She was someone who overcame ob- stacles little by little, not a stupid angel who came from above."

By Asim Tanveer and Munir Ahmed The Associated Press MUZAFFARGARH, PAKISTAN One of Pakistan's most- feared Islamic militant leaders, believed to be be- hind the killing of scores of minority Shiites, was gunned down along with 13 other militants during an assault on a police convoy that was transporting him from prison on Wednesday. Malik Ishaq, who di- rected the operations of the Taliban- and al-Qaida- linked Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group, was so feared in Pak- istan that frightened judges hid their faces from him and even offered him tea and cookies in court. Ishaq, believed to be ei- ther 55 or 56, operated freely for years in Pakistan as the country's intelligence services helped nurture Is- lamic militant groups in the 1980s and 1990s to main- tain influence in Afghani- stan and counter archrival India. Ishaq had been detained by police two days earlier on suspicion of being involved in the slaying of two Shi- ites, police officer Bakhtiar Ahmed said. Early Wednesday, as offi- cers tried to transfer Ishaq from a prison in the eastern city of Multan, gunmen am- bushed the convoy in an at- tempt to free him, Ahmed said. The ensuing gunbattle killed Ishaq and at least 13 of his associates, including two of his sons and his dep- uty, Ghulam Rasool, Ahmed said. In a later statement, po- lice said "14 or 15 uniden- tified armed terrorists" at- tacked police vehicles to free Ishaq when officers were returning from an area in nearby Muzaffar- garh after seizing weapons, explosives and detonators on information provided by Ishaq and his associates. It said Ishaq and five other detained militants were killed during the shootout by those who am- bushed the convoy. They said eight of the attackers were killed in the gunbattle. No other witnesses to the shooting could be im- mediately located. Ishaq's family members could not immediately be reached for comment. Pakistani police have been accused of ex- trajudicial slayings in the past, including through staged ambushes. Shuja Khanzada, the provincial home minister in Pakistan's eastern Pun- jab province, where the fighting took place, said the shooting wounded six police officers who "dem- onstrated extreme brav- ery." "Malik Ishaq was be- hind many acts of terror- ism and he was freed by courts in the past due to lack of evidence," Khan- zada told The Associated Press, calling him a "sym- bol of terror." He said "many terror- ists involved in heinous crimes often go unpun- ished because prosecu- tors don't have enough ev- idence against them. Ma- lik Ishaq was one of such examples." Imtiaz Gul, head of the Islamabad-based Center for Research and Security Studies, said the killing of Ishaq was a "very strong message to all those mil- itants who were still pur- suing the strategy of vio- lence. Today's killing of 14 militants shows that the government will be very tough" in dealing with mil- itant and sectarian groups. Fearing violence in Punjab, long the home of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, police mounted a heavy security presence around the prov- ince and the morgue in Mu- zaffargarh, where Ishaq's body and those of his as- sociates were brought af- ter the shootout.
