"In the next 18 months, we hope Of the other states directly associated with the 2001 attacks, only Virginia has established a similar specialty plate program. Yet it did not set up a special fund for the proceeds of its ''Fight Terrorism'' plate. For the past decade, the California DMV has said on its website that the money will ''fund scholarships for the chil- dren of Californians who died in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and helps California's law enforcement fight threats of terrorism.'' It advertises the program with the slo- gan, ''Be a patriot.'' ''totally disingenuous,'' the department should probably remove references to the scholarship program, said Joe DeAnda, a spokesman for the state treasurer's office, which disburses the money. ''It's out of date and it's on DMV to update that,'' he said. Late Friday, the department modified the description of the license plate on its website to remove the reference to the scholarship program in response to the investigation by the AP, which began in March. Spokeswoman Jan Men- doza said the reason promotional materials were not updat- ed sooner was ''unknown.'' While the DMV description of the program was not on building the opera- tions budget, he said..

STATE BRIEFING Measure would protect The DMV still lists the scholarship program on the online and hardcopy form drivers fill out to buy the license plates, but Mendoza said the department will change this next time the forms are printed. The legislation establishing the plates had earmarked 15 percent of the revenue for scholarships. Yet only $21,381 has reached the children and spouses of the three dozen Cal- ifornia residents killed during the terrorist attacks. The state treasurer's office closed the scholarship program in 2005, the sign-up deadline for potential recipients, and has $60,000 in reserve. The total amount dedicated to scholarships was 1.5 per- cent of the $5.5 million raised through the sale of the plates through 2005. The original legislation said the remainder of the money a bill Tuesday that would add more protections for religious freedom in the workplace, specifying that California dis- crimination laws also should apply to religious clothing, hairstyles and the right to carry religious objects. The bill's author, Assemblywoman Mariko Yamada, D- workplace religious freedom SACRAMENTO (AP) — The state Assembly approved Davis, said she was upset to learn that Sikh and Muslim workers continue to face discrimination at work despite laws prohibiting it. would go to ''law enforcement, fire protection, and public health agencies'' to be used ''exclusively for purposes directly related to fighting terrorism.'' But in 2008, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, borrowed $2 million to close a budget gap. Last year, Brown, a Democrat, borrowed another $1 million. Neither loan has been repaid nor are their deadlines to ensure they will be. Elizabeth Ashford, a spokeswoman for Brown, said the loans have done no harm. ''We're trying to simultaneously balance the budget and fund important programs,'' she said. ''If there was an indi- cation that borrowing this money was going to negatively impact this program, we wouldn't borrow the money.'' The rest of the money has gone to a wide array of segregating an employee from other workers or the public because of their appearance is not an acceptable accommo- dation under the law. ''This bill is a little bit like the Rosa Parks issue of the 21st century for me,'' Yamada said. ''To know that there are Sikhs and Muslims relegated to the back of the store in order to continue their employment is particularly heinous.'' Some lawmakers noted that the law could save the state from costly legal cases, such as a lawsuit the Department of Corrections settled last year with a Sikh man who was barred from becoming a prison guard because he refused to shave the beard required by his Sikh religion so he could be fitted for a gas mask. The state agreed to pay the man $295,000 in damages and give him a managerial job. AB1964, which passed on a 59-3 vote, also clarifies that Bill adds qualifications for budgets and programs. The Legislature sent $3.7 million to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, according to the Department of Finance, to establish an online food monitoring database and implement a variety of worker safety programs, including hiring industrial hygienists to tend to worker health. But it is difficult to say precisely where the money has gone. Late Friday, the agriculture department delivered documents it said were in response to a California Pub- lic Records Act request the AP filed eight weeks earlier. The response contained itemized budget reports going back six years and listing payments for all types of government functions, ranging from salaries and benefits, to printing costs and communication equipment. Among the details: $18,163 for furniture in 2006 and $11,492 for auto inspection in 2009. Director of Animal Health and Food Safety Services Annette Whiteford said the department does not track license plate money separately from other funds. The response also included a legislative report on the threats the agriculture department is targeting with an online database the license plate program helps fund . A similar report from 2006, when the license plate money was first authorized, lists bioterrorism as a potential danger. But the 2011 report focuses on food safety and livestock concerns, including foot-and-mouth disease and meat and poultry monitoring. approved restrictions governing who can be appointed to the California Fish and Game Commission after the former president's controversial killing of a mountain lion in Idaho.

The bill by Democratic Assemblyman Ben Hueso of mammogram providers to notify patients if their tissue was dense and recommend discussing additional testing with their doctors. Supporters say 40 percent of women over age 40 have tissue dense enough to make it difficult to detect cancers on mammograms.

THE PASSING PARADE (Contrast these I Say columns by Dave Minch in the early days of WWII) One can hardly imagine a more radical or unfair ruling than to pay the striking 4000 dock workers unemployment benefits while they are voluntarily on strike, helping to ruin their employers and impeding the war effort. This money is not state or federal money but over half is forcibly taken from the employer against his will. Paying it will not hasten the end of the strike. And speaking of the war, the invasion of Finland by the Russians is very serious and a disgusting show of strength. Our sympathy for the little honest country is natural and sincere. However, I do not agree that Russia is on her way to overrun the world with Bolshevism. We have quietly sat by and watched Russia try to overthrow our government while several of our smart college presidents, advisors to the President and leaders of the CIO Unions and others did their best to help them do it. But our country will never be over-run by the Russians. Whenever we the people get mad enough, we will stop their subversive actions in a minute. .*** Different odors momentarily associate themselves with earlier experiences in my life. The sharp smell of gasoline reminds me of the way we collected bugs and butterflies for our botany class back in high school. Before mounting them, we were instructed to put each specimen in a jar with some gasoline in the bottom to kill them. After reading "The Girl of The Limberlost" I took the collection of butterflies very seriously. Gardenias are my favorite flower and their perfume reminds me of the small white flower that my mother raised in her garden on the south side of the house which was fenced to keep the chickens out. It is a flower that I have not seen since. She called it the "tube rose". Republicans called it retaliation against former president Dan Richards, who faced heavy criticism after posing for photos with a mountain lion he killed during a legal hunt in Idaho. It is illegal to kill them in California. dense breast tissue SACRAMENTO (AP) — State lawmakers are trying again to pass a bill that would require notification to women whose breast tissue is dense, making it harder to detect can- cer. Bill would require warnings of many doctors who oppose the legislation say the warnings could create unnecessary anxiety. This year, most senators are co-authoring the bill by Democratic Sen. Joe Simitian of Palo Alto. It would require Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a similar bill last year. He and The smell of dried apples takes me back to the trays of sun dried apples that my grandmother placed in the yard every summer which had to be moved indoors quickly when sudden thunder showers appeared. The only draw back to these methods of preservation was the flies that followed us inside with the trays. The only time I have ever smelled ozone like we did in the east during a thunderstorm was while I was playing tennis on the courts at the Vets Hall on Jackson on the 4th of July and a quick shower fell on the hot court. And nothing is more fragrant than the first arbutus of spring which comes soon after the snows are gone. These are the little pink and white flowers growing on trailing tendrils in the moss on the hillsides facing east and the wild magnolias blooming in June along the streams that run all summer long. These are times when we are reminded how great it is to be alive to experience such things.
