Buddy Columbus Moore Buddy Columbus Moore, a Los Molinos resident, died Sunday, Jan. 10, 2010, in Yreka. He was 88. Affordable Mortuary is handling the arrange- ments. Published Friday, Jan. 22, 2010, in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. Death Notice road north of Red Bank Creek, said California Highway Patrol Officer Phil Mackintosh. Heavy rains had hit the area over the last three days, which have caused the road to be muddy and the creek swollen. Due to his speed and the condi- tion of the road, Avrit, who was unfamiliar with the area, was unable to stop his vehicle prior to entering the rapidly flowing creek, Mackin- tosh said. The truck became partially sub- merged before Avrit and his passen- ger, Robert Hunzeker, 19, of Durham, were able to get out and swim to safety, Mackintosh said. The truck was then swept down river about 750 feet before it became completely submerged. The truck has not yet been recov- ered and is considered to have received major damage, Mackintosh said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com. Continued from page 1A TRUCK Eidman reported on a response from a state vet- erinarian who was con- tacted regarding the possi- bility of a Caseous Lym- phadenitis (CL) Infection at the 2009 fair. The veterinarian asked if any other livestock shows had been held since the fair and, when told yes, said it would be use- less to test for CL at this point. Angie Gurrola of Mesa Productions gave an update on the status of the Professional Bull Riders event, which will not be a part of the fair in 2010 as it has in the past two years. The PBR schedule will have the riders on the east coast at fair time, she said. There is a window of opportunity for a show on Friday, Aug. 27, when the riders will be making their way to an event in Ontario, Canada, Gurrola said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com. Continued from page 1A BOARD Republican Scott Brown took a Senate election that he seemed unlikely to win just a few weeks ago. Electing Brown sends a message to Congress that the people disagree with how health care is being handled, a process LaMalfa called "shameful." Whatever you think of the health bill itself, holding a major vote on Christmas Eve was wrong, LaMalfa said, suggesting the Democrats were trying to pass the bill without public input. Comparing himself to Brown, LaMalfa said a vote for him would be sending a message to the state govern- ment to stop spending. He closed his speech on a third kind of power — that of the voter. Using the conservative Tea Party movement as an example of how citi- zens can change the debate, LaMalfa told the audience that they do not answer to the government. Elected officials must answer to the people, not the people to the bureau- cracy, he said. Continued from page 1A POWER Daily News photo by Geoff Johnson State Senate candidate Doug LaMalfa stopped by the Red Bluff Kiwanis Club Wednesday on his campaign for the Republican nomination to Senate District 4. Other suggestions include a garden or nature center, new bath- rooms, covered areas for the farm- ers market, new playground equip- ment, basketball and tennis courts and adjusting the length and width of the pool to meet the needs of a competitive swim team. Pool co-manager Shannon Threlkeld said the grant is impor- tant because it could be used to make improvements to the pool that would benefit avid swimmers and the general public. "I want to be able to build a nice facility that would make families want to come," she said. " The pool should be a place for families to come." Threlkeld is a member of the Blues for the Pool committee that is partnering with the city to apply for the grant. Parks and Recreation Director Debbie Carlisi said she is hoping public input will help the city get the money. The grant evaluation committee will consider the amount of community involve- ment put into the project, so some of the maps will be included in the application packet. The applica- tion is 22 pages, and half of those pages need to be filled with ideas from the public. Carlisi encouraged residents to put down anything they could think of, saying, "the sky's the limit." Carlisi visited several class- rooms at Bidwell Elementary School Thursday for more input on the project. The application must be sub- mitted by March 1, leaving the parks commission and pool com- mittee six weeks to gather all the ideas, determine which projects the public is most interested in and put the proposal together. The parks department is not only asking for the public's input to fill the application pages but because it really wants to know what people want to see at the park, Commissioner Tim More- house said. "These are the people who will utilize the park and we want them to have some sense of ownership," he said. A second grant for the same amount is being sought for the improvements at Trainor Park. An all-day open house will be held Tuesday at the Red Bluff Commu- nity and Senior Center for the pub- lic to drop in with suggestions. The center is at 1500 S. Jackson St. For information, call 527-8117. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527- 2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com.

Democrats revive single-payer health care SACRAMENTO (AP) — A key legislative committee in California revived a bill Thursday to create a govern- ment-run health care system in the nation's most populous state, two days after Massachusetts elected a senator who opposes the president's national health care plan. The Senate Appropriations Committee released the bill for a vote by the full Senate next week. The legislation had been held over from last year because of the state's ongo- ing budget crisis. Creating a single-payer system would cost California an estimated $210 billion in its first year. That's roughly dou- ble the size of the total state budget, but about what the state and federal government and residents cumulatively spend now on California health care, said Sen. Mark Leno. Leno, D-San Francisco, introduced the bill after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger twice vetoed similar legislation. The Republican governor negotiated his own $14.7 billion health care reform bill with Democratic leaders two years ago, only to see the measure fail in a Senate committee amid concerns over paying for the measure. Leno's bill would create a commission to decide how to pay for the system, at a cost this year of more than $1 mil- lion. Leno said the system could be funded with a payroll tax along with existing state and federal money and increased efficiencies from a state-managed system that eliminates the insurance middleman. Voters would have to approve the commission's funding plan, he said. Republicans mocked majority Democrats for reviving the bill as health care reform flounders in Washington, and California struggles with a new $20 billion deficit. ''California Democrats are either tone-deaf or delusion- al,'' California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring said in a statement. Senate Minority Leader Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Mur- rieta, also criticized the timing, though Democrats can send the measure to Schwarzenegger without Republican votes. Leno said voters may dislike the hybrid health care plan being debated in Congress, but polls have shown support for a state-run plan in California. The appropriations com- mittee had to act Thursday for the bill to be considered by the full Senate before a Jan. 31 deadline for passing bills introduced last year.
