The city pays the coun- ty $160 or more per ani- mal to take strays to the county shelter, Nanfito said. The increase in fees to the pet owners who have to pickup the animals will help defray the cost. About half the dogs that get picked up are recovered by their owners, Nanfito said. Animal shelter pickup fees per animal will increase from $15 to $40, and daily shelter care fees are going up from $7.50 to $15. Animal licensing fees will go up between $2 and $4 depending on the spe- cific fee. Overall, council mem- bers were hesitant to approve the increases. But the consensus was that it was necessary to approve them. "I don't see it in my paycheck, but the city does," said Councilman Rob Schmid. Some fees were left alone, however when Councilman Bob Carrel objected to fees that could hinder businesses. "I know how hard it is to make a living in busi- ness these days," Carrel VANDALS Continued from page 1A Avenue entrance, according to a Corning Police press release. The suspects, which have not been identified, broke glass on the driver's and passenger side windows of 25 Ford Super Duty pickups, crawling in through the broken win- dow to gain entrance.

In addition to being a wife and a mother, Violet worked outside the home for JCPenney's and the Red Bluff Daily News, retiring from the Red Bluff Daily News in 1986, af- ter 21 years. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is preceded in death by husband, Grant, and daugh- ter, Patricia.

Murray got still photographs of the suspect from the school video and took them to the detective investigat- said. With Carrel's prompt- ing the council decided against raising fees for the second hand dealers annu- al fee and taxi operator licenses, inspection, renewals and vehicle fees. Mayor Pro Tem Wayne Brown was the sole voice in opposition to raising the fees in any way. "I think it is wrong in doing a 16 percent increase," Brown said. Fee calculations were based in part on the 2005 "Citywide User Fee Study" done by Maximus, Inc., of Sacramento. How- ever, they represent a slightly smaller increase than was recommended, were pulled out and the naviga- tion/radio touch screen units, worth about $2,000 each, were removed. The driver's side window of a Ford GT Mustang was broken, how- ever, nothing was taken from it, the release said. Police also are looking for infor- mation on vandalism at West Street School in Corning, where suspects used a black marker to write graffiti on buildings, benches and portable storage boxes along with putting together, Brownfield said. The survivors lap will be at 11 a.m. "Everyone is personal- ly affected by cancer sooner or later," Mcdonald said.

It is important to stay consistent with the recom- mendations of the original ad hoc committee, he said. After some discussion, the council voted in favor of the fee increases, 4 to 1, with Brown opposed. "These are revenue sources we so dearly need in the city," Carrel said. The city will be looking at increases in other departments this year as well. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailyne ws.com. paintings on the ground.

Postal cuts could force change in voting HELEN LOUISE BARBER Helen Louise Barber lost her battle with cancer on March 10, 2012. Helen was born in Yuba City, CA., on January 25, 1946. Growing up in various towns along the west coast, she called Red Bluff her home for more than 45 years. Working as a cosmetologist by profession, Helen's true gifts shined as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Helen had a natural talent for crochet and handmade crafts. Many times she created beautiful Afghans and per- sonally created gifts for her family and friends as well as receiving many awards in the Tehama County Fair. Helen is survived by her husband Louis Barber, a son Jesse Townsend of Vancouver, WA., daughters Vanessa Staton of Red Bluff, CA., and Rebecca Casey of Lake Ste- vens, WA., a sister Betty Wagner of Colorado Springs, CO., nine grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and a loving extended family in the Red Bluff area.

Published Wednesday, March 14, 2012, in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. Alleged pot grower pleads not guilty to murder EUREKA (AP) — An alleged Humboldt County marijuana farmer accused of fatally shooting one of his workers has pleaded not guilty to federal murder, gun and drug charges. The Times-Standard reports (http://bit.ly/z4ywyr ) Mikal Xylon Wilde entered his plea Monday at the fed- eral courthouse in Eureka. He is being held at the Hum- boldt County jail until he is transported to San Francis- co, where he is slated to stand trial. Wilde could be sentenced to death if convicted of killing Mario Roberto Juarez-Madrid, a father of two from Guatemala. The 29-year-old initially faced state charges over the alleged August 2010 shooting at the Kneeland-area marijuana grow. Other workers, including one who was shot in the face, testified during a September preliminary hearing that Wilde opened fire after they quit and demanded to be paid. ——— Information from: Times-Standard, http://www.times-standard.com Over 50 years of serving Tehama County SACRAMENTO (AP) — California lawmakers and election officials worried about the effect of postal clo- sures on elections are considering extending the voting period for mail-in-ballots, a move that could delay results by days or even weeks. Election officials are concerned that longer delivery times will disenfranchise tens of thousands of absentee voters after the U.S. Postal Service begins closing post offices and mail distribution centers this summer. During a joint legislative hearing Tuesday, lawmak- ers, county registrars and Secretary of State Debra Bowen discussed the possibility of changing Califor- nia election law so ballots must be merely postmarked by Election Day. Currently, they must be in the hands of election workers by the time polls close to be count- ed. Bowen acknowledged the change could mean the end of same-night election results, with nearly half the California electorate voting absentee. ''You hate to make changes with a gun to your head,'' she said. About 40 percent of California voters are registered for permanent absentee ballots, compared with 5 per- cent in 2000. Nearly 6 million residents voted by mail in 2008, the last presidential election. Bowen has said that mailed ballots took from five to seven days to arrive at county election offices during last year's local elections in areas that lost distribution centers, instead of the normal one to three days. Democratic Sen. Lou Correa of Anaheim said he is pushing through a bill on an urgency basis that would allow ballots to be postmarked on Election Day. A bill he introduced last year would have brought California in line with the 10 other states that do that, but it died in the Senate. ''Last year, we didn't have the issue of the postal distribution centers closing. This year we do,'' he said. ''We need to do everything in our power to make sure these votes are counted.'' The Postal Service recently announced that it is moving ahead with plans to close at least 223 process- ing centers, including 14 in California, to cut costs. THE PASSING PARADE "In the best television style, a United States Border Patrol truck roared into our orchards Friday afternoon. With pistols in their holsters, they ordered our Mexican national workers to stop work and to climb down from the trees they were pruning. They even loaded one man whose papers were at his home, into the truck. At this point, our farm manager, Robert Hoffman, asked them if they could drive in on private property on a private road and order employees about. They curtly told him they could and the sheriff's office told them just that. Fortunately, most American citizens are treated more courteously in Mexico. * * *** * I don't know anything more aggravating than trying to read a telephone number when the light is poor. The money saved by printing telephone directories on a poor grade of paper in tiny figures could not compare with the discomfort to their customers. If they consider that using good grade paper and printing in twice as large figures would be too expensive, why not put out a deluxe edition and charge for it? In our book it would take only 5 more pages of better paper for the Red Bluff numbers. * * * * * * Must be tough for District Attorneys all over the U.S. to watch the Perry Mason TV show Saturday nights. This otherwise excellent show gives the viewers the impression that District Attorneys are stupid and that smart lawyers can make them look foolish. I'd like to see the writers let them win occasionally. They do, you know, in everyday life. * * * * ** The new traffic lights at Main and Walnut are causing a lot of dissatisfaction during the afternoon rush of cars heading east. The lights are green for such a short time that it actually takes longer to get onto Main Street than it did before the lights were installed. The new bathhouse at the Swimming Pool was scheduled to cost $18,000.00. After some changes in the original plans and including architect's fees, the latest bids are for nearly double this amount. $34,000 seems like a lot of money, even in these inflated times, for taxpayers to build a place for bathers to change clothes. * * * ** Independently owned Telephone: (530) 824-3792 Frank McCaughy of the Lassen Barber shop handed me a little souvenir booklet of Red Bluff evidently published about 50 years ago. The booklet describes the following important products of Tehama County that are not much in evidence today. Grapes, figs, dry fruit Packing Plants, Cement, Tile and Block Plants, Brick Kiln, Flour Mill and Furniture Factory. It would be interesting to discover why each of these once prosperous income producers lost out in the race for business survival. * * ** * * Mrs. Vincent Norman Peale, in last week's American Weekly, gave women the most unnecessary advice I have ever read.
