Authorities suspect an intoxicated Carroll returned to her Arcata home in the early morning hours of Oct. 15 from a night out and got into bed with her daughter, Rebelle Rose Keene, while blow drying her hair. Rebelle was found dead about six hours later. The coroner's office says it appears she went into shock as a result of burns from the blow dryer.

Local 1000 president Yvonne Walker says the agreement with Gov. Jerry Brown not only repre- sents a compromise, but achieves some of the union's goals. It sets up a task force focused on reducing private vendor contracts. The administra- tion also agreed to eliminate student assistants and some retired state workers who come back to work for the state. Brown initially proposed moving the state to a four-day workweek.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the plane was about 25 miles east of San Jose airport, its intended destination, Tuesday morn- ing when someone reported smelling smoke in the cabin. plane's landing was expedited. Television news footage showed the plane at a gate with firefighters surrounding it. The captain declared an emergency, and the San Jose Fire Capt. Mary Gutierrez says firefight- ers who responded did not see any smoke, but noticed a burnt smell. Gregor says the FAA will work with the fire department to determine the cause of the odor. CAcourt strikes down LA County's pot shop ban LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California appeals court has struck down Los Angeles County's ban on medical marijuana dispensaries. The 4th District Court of Appeal ruled Monday that because the state's medical marijuana laws authorize cooperatives and collectives to grow, store and distribute pot, a lower court judge erred when she cited the 2010 ban in granting the county an injunction against the Alternative Medicinal Cannabis Collective last year. However, the decision does not mean the coast is clear for the Covina dispensary. The Court of Appeal says even though L.A. County can't outlaw pot shops completely, local lawmakers still can limit where they locate require them to obtain operating permits and business licenses. moving to seize the building that houses Alternative Medicinal Cannabis. Federal prosecutors also have cracked down by SACRAMENTO (AP) — The governor said Tuesday he could not reach a deal with Democratic leaders on sweeping public pension reform and suggested talks continue during a monthlong recess that begins at the end of the week. Gov. Jerry Brown issued a comprehensive proposal last fall that focused on raising the retirement age and mov- ing new workers to a hybrid pension system. Democratic leaders did not send him their plan until last Sunday and have not made it public. ''The governor could not agree to some of the changes in the pension counterproposal,' ' Brown's spokesman Gil Duran said in a state- ment. ''These complex issues cannot be resolved in two days and he has asked the Legis- lature to continue to work with him over the recess to resolve the substantial differences.'' Assembly Speaker John Perez said Democ- rats would keep working on passing a proposal before the legislative session wraps up at the end of August. ''The Assembly has been working diligently to finalize a pension pro- posal that not only satis- fies the 12 points of the governor's plan, but also goes further in finding needed reforms'' that create savings and other benefits, Perez said in a statement. Pension reform sup- porters have been hop- ing to build momentum for statewide changes after voters in San Diego and San Jose over- whelmingly passed sweeping changes in those cities last month.

It's expected to reach 3.9 percent this year. The state said pension retirement age and want changes to the hybrid system. Employees' Retirement System, the nation's largest public pension fund, has an unfunded liability of around $85 billion. The California State Teachers' Retire- ment System has about $64.5 billion in unfund- ed liabilities. The California Public Labor leaders said it's important for Brown and lawmakers to get details right. ''Both the legislative and governor's propos- als are deeply flawed and deserve public scrutiny that the next few weeks will allow,'' said Dave Low, chair- man of Californians for Retirement Security, a coalition of unions. The governor wants to increase the retire- ment age from 55 to 67 for new, non-public safety employees, and have local and state gov- ernment workers pay more toward their pen- sions and retiree health care. Newly hired public safety employees would have to work beyond the current minimum retire- ment age of 50 depend- ing on their ability to perform the job. Brown's proposal ment Tuesday suggests the majority party still has work to do to satisfy his demands for a com- prehensive package to help contain rising pen- sion costs. Critics say the costs are unsustain- able and are starting to compete with public education and other pro- grams for limited state and local funds. ''They continue to mess around and not get the people's business done,'' said Joel Fox, president of the Small Business Action Com- mittee, which is cam- paigning against Brown's tax initiative on the November ballot. Fox said if lawmakers were serious about reform, they would have sought to put changes on the fall ballot before the June 28 deadline for that Democrats are willing to cap the amount an employee can receive from the pension fund but want another type of defined benefit program to supplement pensions. They are willing to raise the retirement age for an employee to collect full benefits, but don't want to prevent people from taking early retirement if they are willing to accept a smaller pen- sion, he said. ''It's going to be a sliding scale with a min- imum of hurt for the people that retire early,'' Furutani said. ''If you stayed until 67, you'll be able to get a sweetened amount that's extra.'' He said Democrats have added some of their own changes as well. For example, they want to allow local govern- ment to negotiate employee contributions through collective bar- gaining. Brown wants to mandate employees pay half of their pension costs. makers agree with the governor's proposals to end pension spiking. The governor wants to state and local gov- ernments to calculate benefits based on the highest average compen- sation for three years, rather than one year. And he wants to ban counting unused vaca- tion time, overtime and other bonuses in calcu- lating base benefits. The governor also Furutani said law- wants to require new state employees to work for 15 years to become eligible for retiree health benefits, and 25 years for maximum health care premium coverage. THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch I Say of May 1939) When I was 15, and graduated from high school, my folks insisted that I go to college. I had to go a whole year before I could talk them into letting me quit and go to work. I have always considered that year wasted. I believe that boys who are studying for a profession and know what they are planning to be, they are spending their time profitably. But the rest, who spend 4 years in college and hundreds of dollars, when they get out, they will be lucky to earn as much as the boy who graduated from high school and entered a trade or some profession not requiring a degree. The reason for this discourse is that one of our friend's boys graduated from a California university this week and got a position at $85.00 per month to start, while butchers are getting twice that amount after 2 years of apprenticeship during which time they are paid a livable wage. (Ed. Note: Father was writing about one of the Sale boys…Lindley I think.) *** would put new workers in a hybrid plan in which guaranteed benefits are combined with a 401(k)- style plan that places some risk on the employees. Brown's finance department has estimat- ed that his changes would reduce the state's contributions by $4 bil- lion to $11 billion over the next 30 years if the plan is implemented. Other aspects of govern- ment — from courts and schools to cities and counties — would see their own savings, too. Assemblyman Warran Furutani, co-chairman of the Legislature's pen- sion committee, said Democrats have embraced most of the governor's proposals but have offered alternatives on how to raise the Next week will see us putting into service our 3rd calf pickup truck.

It might have been given to him when he became of age or he might have earned it himself. The poorer people had Ingersolls, and those that could afford them had Elgins or Walthams. My father, when he made his will, gave his pocket watch to me, his oldest son**. This all leads up to the present. Where are the watches nowadays? Very few people have them at all. When we were at the World's Fair on Treasure Island, I had to ask 11 men for the time. I finally found one and he had to ask his wife. At our plant only 3 men out of 28 carry watches. Lots of women wear beautiful wrist watches but most are worn as ornaments and a surprising number don't run. Something must be wrong with the sales managers of watch manufactures…or maybe people have gotten used to hearing the time on the radio every 15 minutes.*** *Father would not have used Jean Barton's euphemism "harvested" **Grandfather's gold pocket watch has been handed down and currently resides with my son. As he has sired a daughter, she may be the last recipient of the hand-me-down watch saga. ***Today, the computer monitor tells you the time as well as your cell phone.
