Police logs "I have loved it for a long time," Fletcher said. "It is really tough, but you just feel good in the water. It's more fun in the water. I love it." One of Fletcher's swim- ming idols is Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin. Although she has been swimming for a long time, this is the first year she was out competing in open wa- ter. It was something very different for her. "She really likes to com- pete," Linda O'Sullivan said. "She is used to a swimming pool with the black line, you know, and she's used to see- ing that. So for her to get into the open water, even at Whiskeytown Lake (the wa- ter) was black and it scared her at first. Little by lit- tle she would go a little bit more and a little bit more." Mark O'Sullivan and Groom would be beside her to help guide her in the dark waters, she said she just had to close her eyes and swim. "She really did great," Linda O'Sullivan said. For the competition, two ferries take the partici- pants out in the bay. They then have to jump into the water, about 10 feet down, and start swimming, Linda O'Sullivan said. "I was at the finish- ing line just waiting for all three of them," Linda O'Sullivan said. "Billy made it about 10 seconds before her. Then there was Ellie and Mark was behind her." Fletcher said she felt mentally prepared for the event but still had to re- mind herself why she was there and the end goal. "I had in my head that 'I was going to do this and I want to do this,'" Fletcher said. "Once I got onto that boat and jumped off and got into the water, I just looked at the finish line and was like 'okay I'm going to do this.' I just went for it and I am really glad I did." Fletcher said she is ready to do more open water com- petitions. She's looking for- ward to participating in the Alcatraz Invitational again next year and a Lake Tahoe swim. She plans to continue swimming in college. Alcatraz FROM PAGE 1 From a previous fire in late July, he knew to expect a reverse 9-1-1 recording on his cellphone or look for someone coming through the neighborhood with a bullhorn yelling for people to evacuate. "None of that happened," he said. His house burned. The Lake County sher- iff's office has declined to respond to repeated phone calls and emails seek- ing comment on how and when residents were noti- fied. In a statement issued earlier this week, sheriff's Lt. Steve Brooks said Cal- Fire requested evacuation assistance at 1:50 p.m. Sat- urday but it remains un- clear which communities were notified and how. CalFire spokesman Rich- ard Cordova could not con- firm early evacuation de- tails but said that given the speed of the fire, the death toll could have been much higher. "Any loss of a life is heartfelt, but there should have been a lot more lives lost with the way that fire was moving," he said. The Lake County fire tore through 62 square miles in 12 hours, burn- ing nearly 600 homes and causing thousands of res- idents to flee. Lucas Spel- man, fire captain for Cal- Fire, said 15,400 people were under evacuation. The body of former newspaper reporter Leon- ard Neft, 69, was found near his burnt car after what may have been an at- tempt to escape, his daugh- ter Joselyn Neft said Fri- day. His wife had asked him to leave earlier Sat- urday, but he said the fire looked far away. The body of Bruce Beven Burns, 65, was found in a building on the Lake County grounds of his brother's recycling busi- ness, where Burns also lived. County Supervisor Jim Comstock, 65, who lives in Middletown, said he didn't receive an evacuation or- der and he believes author- ities didn't have time to is- sue orders in person, given the fire's speed. Comstock stayed on his 1,700-acre ranch with his wife, daughter and grandchildren, bat- tling the flames. The fire scorched all but 50 acres of his land and spared his house and barn. "I'm old, and I'm or- nery," he said of the rea- son he stayed. Gary Herrin defended his 3 acres in Middletown. No one told him to leave, he said, and he wouldn't have anyway. When the fire hit his street around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Herrin said, he and several others used water from wells and swimming pools to bat- tle flames, saving eight homes. At 10 p.m. he collapsed by a swimming pool with about 6 inches of water left. "We were going to stand our ground, and we decided to fight," he said. The story brought a shudder from James Mc- Mullen, a former Califor- nia state fire marshal who runs a fire consulting busi- ness in Davis. "Some people don't re- alize how intense a wild- fire is and they say, 'Oh, I'll just stay here with my garden hose and leap up on the roof and yet that's the worst thing they can do,'" he said. Wildfire FROM PAGE 8 "It's everything from in the office to outside, from working at the fire depart- ment to a cemetery," Gar- cia said. "Things that you didn't think of being con- nected to the drought until this project. At the Los Mo- linos Mutual Water Com- pany the intern is research- ing and archiving water rights from the 1800s up to the mid 1900s." Both Corning and Los Molinos high schools are working on projects involv- ing dryscaping to reduce the need for water. "It's great to see how agencies are partnering in ways they've never part- nered before," Ferchaud said. "It's become a way for people to have a conversa- tion, which really ties in to the Job Training Cen- ter mission of pulling stake holders in the community together to talk." Interns have to compile monthly reports on their projects and submit them to the Job Training Center as a part of the grant. "They compile what they've done, statistics, re- ports and stories of how they are impacting the drought," Ferchaud said. "They get to bring about an awareness of steward- ship of resources to the gen- eral public. It's been great watching how they connect to their project and it makes them proud to be a part of a solution." The grant has been ex- tended for a second phase through Oct. 30. If suc- cessful, there could be more money available in a third phase that would ex- tend the available funds to March. The center is look- ing for new sites to partner with and individuals to put back to work. The interns range in age from 18 to early 60s and had been out of work for 15- 36 months prior to their in- terships, Ferchaud said. As of Sept. 14, there were 25 in- terns with a total of 40 ex- pected to be placed before the October deadline. Red Bluff Fire Division Chief Matthew Shobash has three interns under his su- pervision. "The drought relief in- terns are a great asset to this department," Shobash said. "It's a shot in the arm to get us back on track with the workload." Interns are working on updating pre-plans, which firefighters use to know where hazards and power and gas shut offs are lo- cated, Shobash said. Chandes Goodin is an intern at the Sacramento River Discovery Center and she has been able to learn new things and teach. She and fellow intern Rocky Romero have been working on clearing invasive species from the center garden to create room for the native and drought tolerant plants Goodin has been starting in the greenhouse. Romero has worked on mulching the area, which helps the ground with wa- ter retention meaning the plants don't have to be wa- tered nearly as often.

JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS Alan Marshall take measurements for a preplan under the supervision of Red Bluff Fire Division Chief Matt Shobash. He is one of three interns the department has through a grant program administered through the Job Training Center. By Matthew Brown The Associated Press BILLINGS, MONT. A long- delayed rule to strengthen safety requirements for pipelines that move oil and other hazardous liquids will be unveiled this month fol- lowing a recent surge in accidents, the U.S. govern- ment's pipeline safety ad- ministrator said Friday. More than five years in the making, the rule will determine if extra safety measures required in envi- ronmentally sensitive and populated areas should be expanded to new locations. It was cleared by the White House this week, and will be published in the next seven to 10 days, said Michelle Dominguez, head of the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. "Theproposedregulations will result in critical safety improvements, and we hope they will spark a robust dia- logue moving forward about pipeline safety in the United States,"Dominguezsaiddur- ing testimony during a U.S. Senate Commerce Commit- tee field hearing on pipeline safety in Billings. A boom in U.S. energy production in recent years has led to rising numbers of pipeline accidents. More than 30,000 gallons of oil spilled into the Yel- lowstone River in January from a Bridger Pipeline LLC line near Glendive, shutting down the eastern Montana city's water supply. In May, a corroded pipe- line owned by Plains All American released at least 101,000 gallons of crude near Santa Barbara, Cali- fornia. Both accidents remain under investigation, accord- ing to federal officials. In 2014, there were 445 pipeline accidents spilling a combined 1.9 million gal- lons of hazardous liquids, which include crude oil. That's roughly 30 percent more accidents than the annual rate prior to 2008, when domestic oil produc- tion started to ramp up due largely to expanded pro- duction of shale oil in the Northern Plains and Texas. Dominguez declined to reveal particulars on the new safety rule until it's released. Much of it is ex- pected to deal with so- called high-consequence ar- eas such as rivers or densely populated areas, where the impacts of a spill or simi- lar accident can be much greater.
