Of the 20 largest fires agreement with faculty LOS ANGELES (AP) — California State University has reached a tentative agreement on a four-year contract with its faculty that largely preserves current contract terms and calls for no salary raises, the university and faculty union said Tuesday. ''It's a fair agreement in the context of hard times,'' said Cal State reaches tentative Lillian Taiz, who heads the California Faculty Association, which represents 23,000 professors, lecturers, and other professional employees. ''We are disappointed we were not able to get a raise, but that wasn't in the cards. It was a tough pill to swallow, I won't kid you.'' The university agreed to possibly reopen salary talks for 2012-13 and 2013-14. Benefits were maintained at the cur- rent level. Both sides said the agreement will allow them to put to rest more than two years of contentious negotiations and work together to push for more revenue for the 23-campus system that has seen $750 million in state funding cuts over the past four years.

After talking to multiple witnesses of the crime, officers arrested Ellis and booked him into Tehama County Jail on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon: force, not firearm and Elder abuse likely to cause great bodily injury. Bail was set at $80,000. Ellis was serving a sentence for theft on the work release program prior to this incident, Ferrin said. — Julie Zeeb Stabbed man remains mum he suffered a stab wound to the shoulder. Around midnight Friday Red Bluff police offi- cers were dispatched to FoodMaxx for a report of a man with a self-inflicted injury, according to a department press release. Officers arrived, though, to find a 53-year-old man who had been stabbed on top of his shoulder. The man told officers an unknown assailant had stabbed him one time with a large fixed-blade knife. He then walked to FoodMaxx for help. The victim would not tell officers any further details about the incident. He was transported to Mercy Medical Center in Redding for a non-life threatening injury.

Officials hope citizens will under- stand steps they can take to protect themselves, such as clearing brush from their property, in an environment growing increasingly more danger- ous. The increased intensity of wildfires also means that high-power transmis- sion corridors that cross the state leave power supplies vulnerable to disrup- tion, even as higher temperatures make the transfer of energy less effi- cient. The report says building local power generation stations and micro- grids will be essential. ''The electric system is much more vulnerable than we thought,'' Bob Weisenmiller, chairman of the California Energy Commission. CARE TO COMMENT?

THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column circa 1941) The system is one of the largest public university sys- tems in the nation with 400,000 students. ''In this extremely challenging budget climate, we are pleased to come to an agreement with the CFA that will allow both parties to move forward and focus on the state's reinvestment in higher education,'' said John Swarbrick, associate vice chancellor for labor relations. The improvements in the contract were modest. Much of the union's battle was to preserve items that the university sought to take away, Taiz said. The university agreed to allow faculty input in determin- ing appropriate class sizes, but the union did not win a guar- antee of academic freedom. ''The university was strangely adamant against including that in the contract,'' she said. ''It's not the end of that issue.'' moving more classes into extension programs and preserv- ing three-year appointments for lecturers, who comprise 55 percent of the faculty.

Bill and his wife are the kind of pioneers we love to read about in our history and story books. They have lived ever since I've known them up in the foothills with no electricity, telephone or mail service that we think necessary. 99 out of a 100 people would give up after looking at their ranch covered with rattlesnakes and rocks where they live. But instead of giving up they have made a good living and I imagine are happier and with far less worries than most of us. During the summer they run cattle on the hills and meadows and during the winter they run trap lines they visit on horseback. They have killed as high as 100 rattlesnakes in a summer. Bill is the typical pioneer, and although not as young as he was, he can still ride and shoot better than the best. Last week while riding and leading a pack horse quite a distance from his home, the pack horse's rope got under his horse's tail and began to buck. It started running straight down a steep hill and continued until Bill was bucked off. Bill landed on his head and shoulder among the rocks. The rest sounds like a western novel. He got to his feet with his broken collarbone, injured back and blood running down his face but was unable to lift himself up on his horse. He walked the considerable distance home, one step at a time, each step jarring his injured back. It took 4 hours of agony to make the trip. His wife, afraid to leave him alone during the rest of the night, got up at 5 am, long before daylight, saddled a horse she knew from experience might buck her off if given a chance, and rode in the dark to the valley below to phone for an ambulance. She did this with the knowledge that if she were thrown from the horse and unable to get to the phone, that she and her husband probably would not be found by anyone until it was too late. No more heroism was possible in our pioneers than this woman who, no longer young, displayed when necessity demanded it. ing a voting period scheduled for the last two weeks of August, as well as the board of trustees. The board's next meeting is slated for September. Faculty members have not had a raise for the past five years after the university failed to fulfill salary commitments in the last contract. Taiz said that issue has been set aside in the interest of collaborating with the university to push for more state funding. ''It's simply not something we could make happen,'' she said. Ed. Note: Bill Facht recovered from his injuries, but Ellison Saunders, on the slopes of North Yola Bolly Mountain, was not so fortunate when he experienced a similar accident far from town and died during helicopter evacuation hours later.
