Deathnotices The judge ruled that Brown's additions substan- tially changed the proposed ballot language after it had gone through a public com- ment period. However, the Supreme Court first ruled last month that the qualifying process can continue while the lawsuit is being decided. It re-affirmed that posi- tion Wednesday while put- ting the onus on prosecu- tors to show the governor's changes were improper in- stead of having Brown de- fend the additions. The high court didn't rule on the merits of the lawsuit and gave both sides until the end of the month to submit written argu- ments. "We believe when this court looks at all the infor- mation they will agree with the lower court and rule de- cidedly in our favor," dis- trict attorneys' associa- tion chief executive Mark Zahner said in a statement. The original measure called for having judges, not prosecutors, decide whether juveniles should be tried as adults. After the 30-day public comment period expired, Brown added language that would allow certain non-vi- olent adult felons to earn parole earlier while quali- fying others for earlier re- leases from prison. "We can keep gathering signatures while the oppo- nents continue to try and deny the people their right to vote on this reform," Dan Newman, a spokes- man for Brown and other initiative backers, said in a statement. California is under court order to ease overcrowding in its prisons. Measure FROM PAGE 1 New pads in the roping boxes also will be installed.

Round-Up FROM PAGE 1 Dog park efforts have been underway since at least 2005, originally through the efforts of resi- dents Nancy and Rich Hen- ley, said Patricia Phillips, Red Bluff Parks and Rec- reation Commission chair- woman previously. The commission has worked on it for about two years with rough estimates of $35,000 for a complete park and $18,000 for a bare bones park without a monument, drinking fountains and ex- tra features. Wintle, a 1964 Corning Union High School gradu- ate who moved to Corning in 1962, had been involved with the Tehama County Animal Center for a num- ber of years, said PETS Pres- ident Sharon Russell, who worked with Wintle since Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter started in 2011. Wintle was chosen to receive the 2015 Tehama County Animal Care Cen- ter George Russell Award for Volunteer of the Year, Russell said. That award was accepted by Wintle's husband of 48 years, Earl, as Wintle was ill at the time it was to be presented. "Sher was a willing, en- thusiastic and wonderful volunteer for may PETS event," Russell said. "We all loved her." Wintle's family is work- ing to carry on her legacy and love for animals. Sup- porters can donate through an online fundraising cam- paign at https://www.gen- erosity.com/memorial- fundraising/sher-wintle- memorial-dog-park. The campaign has raised almost $4,300 in the first 21 days. Wintle, a stay at home mother of five to Jaye Curtis, Amber Van Tuyl, Tim Win- tle, Neil Wintle and Kelsey Yates, was an instructional aide for the Red Bluff El- ementary School District who earned the nickname "Mrs. Twinkle." She retired in August 2013. Wintle had long been an animal lover and she and her husband have worked on the park for the past few years, said her son-in-law Scott Curtis of Red Bluff. "If you knew Sher, you knew she loved all living things with a special love for animals," Curtis said. "During her lifetime, Sher worked tirelessly with many different organizations to rescue dogs to help them find their forever homes and volunteered count- less hours at the animal shelter. Part of her volun- teerism included fostering puppies at her home. Some of these puppies were sick or injured, sometimes not expected to live. Sher spent many sleepless nights nurs- ing them back to health with love. Sher would some- times travel hundreds of miles to help place animals in their particular rescue." Wintle often traveled to the Redding Dog Park to take her own dogs out and loved watching the dogs interact with each other as well as the smiles on the owners' faces. This is where the idea to create a dog park in Red Bluff was born, Cur- tis said. It was seeing the joy it brought to his wife, that prompted Earl to get involved. "Donations in any amount would be deeply appreciated in honor and memory of Sharon 'Sher' Wintle to help us continue her legacy of love," Curtis said. Donations can be made by check made out to Red Bluff Dog Park and dropped off or mailed to Summit Mortgage, 1355 Main St. Park FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Tax-fil- ing season is turning into a nightmare for thousands of employees whose com- panies have been duped by email fraudsters. A ma- jor phishing scheme has tricked several major com- panies — among them, the messaging service Snap- chat and disk-drive maker Seagate Technology — into relinquishing tax docu- ments that exposed their workers' incomes, ad- dresses and Social Secu- rity numbers. The scam, which in- volved fake emails pur- portedly sent by top com- pany officials, convinced the companies involved to send out W-2 tax forms that are ideal for identity theft. For instance, W-2 data can easily be used to file bogus tax returns and claim fraudulent refunds. Theembarrassingbreak- downs have prompted em- ployers to apologize and of- fer free credit monitoring to employees. Such mea- sures, however, won't nec- essarily shield unwitting victims from the head- aches that typically follow identity theft. "This mistake was caused by human er- ror and lack of vigilance, and could have been pre- vented," Seagate's chief fi- nancial officer, Dave Mor- ton, wrote in a March 4 email to the company's em- ployees about the breach. The swindlers behind the tax scam are exploiting human gullibility rather than weaknesses in com- puter or Internet security. They have targeted com- pany payroll and person- nel departments The schemes are so widespread that the IRS sent a March 1 notice alert- ing employers' payroll de- partments of the spoofing emails. The IRS said it's seen a 400 percent increase in phishing and computer malware incidents this tax- filing season. The agency said the scheme has so far claimed "several victims," but de- clined to disclose how many other employers had reported releasing W-2s to unauthorized parties. PHISHING Snapchat, Seagate among companies duped in scam By Justin Pritchard The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Newly re- leased video shows the mo- ment a Google self-driving carlearnedthe hardway not to tussle with a public bus. The collision happened on Valentine's Day, when a Google vehicle struck the side of a public bus in the Silicon Valley city of Moun- tain View. Footage recorded by cameras on the bus shows a Lexus SUV, which Google has outfitted with sensors and cameras that let it drive itself, edging into the path of the bus that was rolling by at about 15 mph. It was the first time in several years of testing on public roads that a Google self-driving car prototype caused a crash. Google has blamed other drivers for past collisions during test- ing, but, in a first, accepted at least partial responsibil- ity for this crash. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority released the video and post- crash photos this week to The Associated Press under a public records request. Though it was a low- speed collision, the im- pact crumpled the Lexus' front left side, flattened the tire and tore off the radar Google installed to help the SUV perceive its surround- ings. The Lexus had to be towed. Neither the Google employee in the driver's seat — who must be there under California law to take the wheel in an emergency — nor the 16 people on the bus were injured. The transit agency con- cluded based on the foot- age the bus driver was not responsible, spokeswoman Stacey Hendler Ross said. An independent claims ad- justor has not yet deter- mined liability, she said. Here are few other things to know about the crash and Google's self-driving cars: ISTHISTHEFIRSTCRASHFOR A GOOGLE CAR? No. The Feb. 14 crash is the first in which Google has acknowl- edged its car made a mis- take that led to a collision. Google has reported that between September 2014 and November, its proto- types drove themselves about 400,000 miles on city streets near its Silicon Val- ley headquarters without causing a collision. Its fleet has likely driven an additional 100,000 miles since then, though the com- pany won't be specific. Ac- cording to Google's ac- counting, its cars have been hit nearly a dozen times on the streets in or around its Mountain View headquar- ters since road testing be- gan in spring 2014. HOW DID THE CRASH HAP- PEN? The Lexus intended to turn right off a major boulevard but stopped after detecting sandbags around a storm drain near the in- tersection, according to an accident report Google filed with the California Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles. Photos show two small, black sandbags on either side of a drain at the curb. The right lane was wide enough to let some cars turn and others go straight, but to avoid driving over the sandbags, the Lexus needed to slide to its left within the lane. The bus and sev- eral other cars that drove straight were to the left of the Lexus, in the same lane. When the light turned green, several cars ahead of the bus passed the SUV. Google has said that both the car's software and the person in the driver's seat thought the bus would let the Lexus into the flow of traffic. The Google em- ployee did not try to inter- vene before the crash. "This is a classic exam- ple of the negotiation that's a normal part of driving — we're all trying to predict each other's movements. In this case, we clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved there wouldn't have been a collision," Google wrote of the incident.
