Terminally ill convicted killer to be released, to return to family in Chico SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A man serving a life sentence for killing his roommate in 1986 will be released because he's terminally ill. The San Francisco Chronicle says a state appeals court in San Francisco ruled last week that Carl Wade is entitled to compassion- ate release. State law allows such release for prisoners facing immi- nent death who pose no risk to the public. Wade, who's 66, has severe heart and lung disease and uses a wheelchair. His attorney says he'll be freed with- in days from the Vacav- ille prison and will stay with his sister's family in Chico. Wade was convicted of first-degree murder for shooting fellow wood- cutter John Karns after a drunken fight in their Lake County trailer. ——— Information from: San Francisco Chronicle, http://www.sfgate.com.

At least 15 people were injured or killed in bicyclist collisions in Red Bluff in 2010, the report states. Two of those injuries or deaths were children younger than 15. "These three cases illustrate the possible dangers of riding bicycles in city traffic," said Sgt. Matthew Hansen. He wants to remind all riders to Red Bluff was also ranked No. 1 in the same study in 2008, and No. 2 in 2009. The boy veered into the parking lot of Liquor and Food where he hit a gasoline pump and flew off the bicycle, the release said. He was treated at the hospital for minor injuries. A third incident occurred at about passwords SACRAMENTO (AP) — The state Senate approved a bill Friday that would make it illegal for employers and college admissions officers to ask current or prospective work- ers and students for the passwords to their social media accounts. Bill bans employers from seeking Senators approved SB1349 by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, on a 28-5 vote, sending it to the Assembly. Yee said social media is a repository of personal, pri- vate information that most people never imagined would be open to the public. Sen. Ted Gaines, one of obey all the same rules of the road that vehicle drivers must obey and that they can be cited or arrested for violating the law, he said. "Red Bluff Police officers will be taking a more aggressive enforce- ment posture on bicycle riders vio- lating the rules of the road," he said. Bicycle helmets prevent serious injuries and sometimes death to rid- ers in collisions, Hansen said. It is always a good idea to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle and it is required for anyone younger than 18 years old. Overall, the Red Bluff Police Department is looking to increase street safety during the summer sea- son and into the rest of the year. This goal was announced follow- ing an annual report to the City Council May 15, in which it was shown that Red Bluff was ranked no. 1 in 2010 out of 108 cities of similar populations in California for Reinforcing to the council that the city needs to focus on traffic enforcement, Police Chief Paul Nanfito pointed out that more peo- ple die in traffic collisions than in crime-related incidents. Someone dies every 14 minutes in the nation in a collision, he said. Someone is killed in a homicide every 31 minutes. He also drew a correlation between the decreased number of officers patrolling the streets and the increased numbers of drunken dri- vers. There were 110 arrests for dri- ving under the influence and 11 alcohol related collisions in 2010, Nanfito said. In 2008, there were 160 arrests for driving under the influence, but only five alcohol related collisions. "To change these numbers, we need a strong traffic enforcement team," he said. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailynews.com. In the Legislature Yee said the bill allows employers that have initiat- ed a formal investigation to access social media accounts, but ''we clearly do not want employers to go on a fishing expedition.'' He noted that many social media accounts con- tain personal information that employers are prohibit- ed from otherwise seeking, such as employees' reli- gious affiliation. ''Just simply turning over that account to an employer opens up tremen- dous liability,'' Yee said. textbooks SACRAMENTO (AP) — A bill that would require textbook publishers to make the same content available Bill would require digital several Republicans who voted against the legislation, said he supports the intent of the bill but is concerned that it's too broad. He said it might prohibit an employer from investigating claims of employee harassment.

Lawmakers approved SB1154 by Republican Sen. Mimi Walters of Lake For- est on Friday. Walters says her bill addresses the technology gap between California schools and those in the rest of the country. It also requires publishers to offer their content in sections so districts can buy only the parts they want. The bill also allows school districts to create online digital textbook data- bases that students could access from anywhere. Small publishers with fewer than 100 employees would be exempt from the requirement. The Associa- tion of American Publishers is the only listed opponent of the legislation. vanity plates SACRAMENTO (AP) — The Assembly has approved a bill to end dis- counted vanity license plates for current and retired lawmakers. Bill would end discount AB2068 by Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Portantino passed the Assembly 63-0 Friday. Currently, members of the state Legislature and California's congressional delegation can get personal- ized license plates for $12, much less than the typical $48 fee. They also do not pay annual registration fees. Portantino's bill would make lawmakers pay the same amount that others do.
