Additionally, days after Brown appointed Bohlen in June 2014, the gover- nor and the governor's aides asked Bohlen to have oil and gas regulators re- search and map out the oil, gas and mineral potential and history of the Brown family ranch in Northern California, The Associated Press reported earlier this month. Bohlen and Brown aides this month defended the oil agency's work for Brown family private property, saying it was le- gal and normal, and that Brown had no interest in drilling on his family land. However, the oil regula- tor who prepared the map for Brown filed a whistle- blower complaint over be- ing made to do the work, her lawyer confirmed to the AP. Former oil regulators and oil-industry veter- ans told the AP the state oil work for Brown was unique because of the custom map with drilling information and color- coded geological records and legends, and because of the report's conclusion by state regulators that the area of Brown's family ranch was unlikely to war- rant any drilling or mining in the future. Bohlen told The Los Angeles Times this month that Brown also directed him in June 2014 to keep the personal work done for Brown out of email, citing open-records laws. State officials were un- able to produce any other examples of state regula- torsmappingoutthepetro- leum, mineral and geology of land for personal pur- poses, and records showed the state oil agency specifi- cally rejecting requests for maps from a state lawmak- er's office and from a pri- vate individual. The state's oilfield regu- lation agency has had a se- riesoftop-levelturnoversat least since 2011, when the U.S.EPAbegansteppingup pressure on the state's oil regulators to enforce rules meant to prevent oilfield pollution of underground water reserves. Brown, who has sought to boost the state's oil production while encouraging some of the most ambitious con- servation programs in the country, boasted in 2012 of speedinguptheagency'soil permitting by firing one of Bohlen'spredecessors,after oil companies said she de- manded rigorous environ- mental reviews. An oil-industry group, the Western States Petro- leum Association, on Mon- day praised Bohlen as a professional whose tenure it said had left California, the country's No. 3 oil-pro- ducing state, with some of the toughest oilfield regu- lations in the world. However, Bohlen's ten- ure was marked by other crises, including an oil spill in May off Santa Bar- bara and an ongoing nat- ural-gas leak at one of the country's largest natural- gas storage facilities, in Southern California. Environmental groups said Brown needed to take responsibility for the state's oversight of the oil industry. Bohlen's departure leaves the agency still too cozy with the industry it is supposed to regulate, said Hollin Kretzmann, an at- torney with the Center for Biological Diversity envi- ronmental group. "Califor- nia regulators have prior- itized oil company profits and the governor's per- sonal requests at the ex- pense of our air, water and health." Brown's statement said that Ken Harris, a long- time state water-qual- ity official, would succeed Bohlen. Bohlen's resignation was first reported by the Sacra- mento Bee.

"If it hadn't been for the quick work of Red Bluff Fire and the other departments re- sponding, it could have eas- ily been the whole 600 block of Main Street. The fire got into the common wall, but they kept it from spread- ing." Red Bluff Fire was as- sisted by Cal Fire and Te- hama County Fire units from Red Bluff, Antelope, El Camino, Los Molinos and Dibble Creek. Kinner said she is grate- ful to be back and the feel- ing is mutual amongst her customers, who stopped in to say hello in the first hour of the grand opening. One customer even brought Kin- ner a fireman Santa Claus statue. "I missed everyone," Kin- ner said. "I really missed my customers. Some I got to see when I'd go places and I had friends who kept coming by to see if we were open yet." The business hours are 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tues- days through Saturdays.

The Bay Area Air Qual- ity Management District heard Monday from the public and from manag- ers of the area's five petro- leum refineries about the proposed tightening of pollution standards. Air quality officials say the five refineries collectively are the biggest industrial polluters in the Bay Area. The air board is seeking to reduce refinery emissions 20 percent by 2020. Managers for Shell and other refineries told the board Monday that tighter rules would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars. Air quality regu- lators maintain the actual cost would be $20 million a year, which they say is less than 2 percent of re- fineries' annual profits. The board is scheduled to vote Dec. 16.
