Policelogs "The theater restora- tion is truly a partnership between the community and the city, with volun- teer labor and donated supplies helping to keep cost down," said Natasha Magana of the Paskenta Band Tribal Council. The donation has not only brought the com- munity foundation closer to the transformation of the theater, it reflects the commitment of the tribe and casino, as com- munity members, to the community and to the youth in the community, Cardenas said. The theater will pro- vide a venue for organiza- tions and schools to host performances and events of interest to the commu- nity, the release said. "Speaking on behalf of the Corning Commu- nity Foundation, the Friends of the Theatre and all the volunteers, we are so thankful that the Paskenta Band of Nom- laki Indians and the Roll- ing Hills Casino Founda- tion have chosen to be- come major donors of the Rodgers Theatre res- toration," Cardenas said. The theater opened its doors in 1935, and was given to the city of Corn- ing by the Rodgers Fam- ily in 1991, the release said. It continued to op- erate as a movie theater until 2006 when it was closed due to deficiencies in the facility. Some projects have al- ready been completed in- cluding a new roof, heat- ing and air conditioning, a front facade, audito- rium floors and rest- rooms. The city hopes to re- open the theater later this year. Theatre FROM PAGE 1 Thank you! PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Union leaders also blasted the plan in an email with a subject line of "Care- givers, Seniors, and People With Disabilities Deserve Better." Shamus Roller, executive director of Housing Cali- fornia, a group that backs affordable housing, said, "Governor Brown proposed a budget that provides no new help for the many peo- ple struggling to stay in their homes." And the Children's De- fense Fund-California ac- cused the governor of "us- ing the threat of future recession to justify not making critical investments of our most vulnerable chil- dren today." Under Brown's proposal for 2016-17, California's gen- eral fund would climb to a record high. Combined with special funds and bond money, overall spending would climb to $170.7 bil- lion — a staggering figure bolstered by California's capital gains windfall as Silicon Valley booms. But Brown warned that the economic boom will not last. The state faced a $26 billion budget deficit when Brown took office in 2011, forcing deep cuts to social welfare programs, schools and universities. At his budget briefing Thursday, he held up charts, one saying balanced bud- gets have been quickly fol- lowed by huge deficits and another that "more perma- nent spending combined with recession would be devastating." "Everybody thinks when they're up here, it's all wonderful," he said, point- ing to a soaring revenue peak. "That's what they thought before the dot-com (bust), and that's what they thought before the mort- gage meltdown." Brown called for the state to put $3.5 billion into its voter-approved rainy day fund — $2 billion more than the law requires. Brown also touted his in- come tax credit for the poor, a cost-of-living increase for elderly, blind and disabled people who receive supple- mental income from the state, and more funding for universities and colleges but said the state can't meet every demand. "It's not a candy store where you can pick out whatever you want," he said. His proposal also in- cludes a $1.1 billion com- promise on a new tax on health insurers to ensure continued federal funding for Medi-Cal, which Re- publicans said was unnec- essary thanks to the bur- geoning tax revenues. Medi-Cal is projected to cover 13.5 million peo- ple by 2017, nearly a third of the state's population. Supporters were disap- pointed the governor once again opted not to raise reimbursement for provid- ers in the program, which were cut by 10 percent dur- ing the recession, leading to a shortage of doctors in the program. Additional funding for the University of California and California State Univer- sity systems in Brown's bud- get plan would keep tuition flat for another year, while K-12 schools and commu- nity colleges see the largest share of revenues by far: $71 billion, which would push per-pupil spending to $10,591. The California Cham- ber of Commerce, which has often found an ally in the Brown administration, thanked Brown for leader- ship and vision. "We are pleased that the governor underscored his commitment to long-term budget stability and pro- tecting the state's solvency," president Allan Zaremberg said in a statement. "His call for budget restraint should comfort Califor- nians from the threat of new taxes." Still, Republicans have ideas as well for the budget surplus. "The backbone of Cali- fornia's economic engine, agriculture and reliable energy, is suffering," Sen- ate Minority Leader Jean Fuller, R-Bakersfield, said in a statement. "Further- more, we can't take our roads and water delivery system for granted and must address these funda- mental needs that are in distress." Budget FROM PAGE 1 By Don Thompson TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO A man in California encouraged a fel- low Iraqi refugee in Texas to join the civil war against the Syrian government and promised to teach him how to fight, federal authorities said Friday, a day after ter- rorism charges against the men were revealed. A criminal complaint filed against 23-year-old Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab of Sacramento de- tails the social media com- munication he had with 24-year-old Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan of Hous- ton. Al Hardan is the per- son identified as "Individ- ual I" in the complaint, according to Lauren Hor- wood, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney in Sacra- mento. "O God, grant us martyr- dom for your sake while en- gaged in fighting and not retreating; a martyrdom that would make you sat- isfied with us," Al-Jayab wrote to Al Hardan in April 2013. The complaint says Al- Jayab, who already had fought in Syria, promised to provide weapons train- ing to Al Hardan and ad- vised him on how he would be assigned to the battle- field once he arrived in Syria. Al-Jayab described how he began fighting shortly after he turned 16, and re- counted "just shooting, spraying, spraying" with his assault rifle during a battle. He said he helped execute three Syrian gov- ernment soldiers, accord- ing to the document. Authorities say Al-Jayab fought twice in Syria, in- cluding with a group affil- iated with Islamic State. There is no indication that Al Hardan, an Iraqi refu- gee, actually traveled to Syria. Both are Iraqi-born Pal- estinians who came to the United States as ref- ugees. There was no evi- dence either man intended or planned attacks in the United States. The arrests, which came a little more than a month after an attack in San Bernardino, Cali- fornia, killed 14, brought new life to a debate over whether the United States is doing enough to screen refugees. Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas called for a retroac- tive review of all refugees who have come to the U.S. to examine "all of the evi- dence that might indicate whether these individuals have ties to radical Islamic terrorists." U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said the arrests "should cause Pres- ident Obama to hit pause on his naïve plan to usher in thousands of refugees from Iraq and Syria over the coming year." White House spokes- man Josh Earnest said the screening of refugees is rigorous and thorough. He repeated the adminis- tration's opposition to pro- posals that would impose a religious test or bar indi- viduals from the U.S. based on their ethnicity. "That doesn't represent who we are as a country and, most importantly, it's not going to keep us safe," Earnest said. Al-Jayab faces up to eight years in prison on charges of traveling to Syria to fight and lying to investigators about it. He was due to make his ini- tial court appearance Fri- day afternoon. His attorney, Ben Gallo- way of the federal defend- er's office, did not return telephone and emailed messages Thursday or Fri- day. Al Hardan made his ini- tial appearance in Hous- ton federal court Friday morning after he was in- dicted Wednesday on three charges related to accusa- tions he tried to provide material support to Is- lamic State. He faces up to 25 years in prison for the most serious charge. Al Hardan, who speaks Arabic, used an interpreter to tell U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy he un- derstands the charges. Al Hardan, dressed in a plaid shirt and khakis, told the judge he lives in a Houston-area apartment, is married and has a child. Al Hardan said he earns about $1,800 per month. He did not say his occu- pation but added his wife does not work and his in- laws live in Dallas. Prosecutors said Al Har- dan entered the U.S. as a refugee in November 2009 and was granted legal per- manent residence status in August 2011. Milloy ordered Al Har- dan be held until a hear- ing on Wednesday to de- termine if he should be granted a bond. Prosecu- tors want Al Hardan held without bond, saying he is a flight risk and a danger to the community. Al Hardan was ap- pointed an attorney, David Adler, who did not imme- diately return a telephone call or email seeking com- ment. Federal officials say ar- rests in Milwaukee on Thursday grew out of the Sacramento investigation but are not related to na- tional security. Two of Al- Jayab's brothers and a cousin are charged with conspiring to transport/ receive stolen cellphones. Younis Mohammed Al Jayab and Ahmad Waleed Mahmood appeared in federal court in Milwau- kee on Friday to hear the allegations against them in a criminal complaint. They weren't asked to en- ter pleas. That could come if they're indicted through a grand jury in the coming weeks.
