The owner of the dogs, Jonathan Molina, was con- tacted by deputies and the incident is actively being investigated, according to the release. Molina agreed to surrender ownership of the animals. Kroslowitz medical con- dition was not released as of noon Thursday. Attack FROMPAGE1 Colleen Lewis, PATH board member, called the donation generous. "This money will go to- ward items that will con- tinue to benefit the house throughout the years," Lewis said. Those items include new light bulbs recommended by the Pacific Gas and Elec- tric Co. and securing and sealing up areas of the home after the new win- dows, also donated by Si- erra Pacific in December, are installed. These improvements could lower the energy bill significantly. A portion of the donation will go to- ward an expensive utility bill from last month's use. Once the windows are installed the home will be even more efficient so less is spent on utility bills and moreonimprovementsand programs for the women.

Violence FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO How he squeaked through secu- rity is anyone's guess. A little mouse made for a big delay on a British Airways flight from Lon- don to San Francisco. The passengers were buckled up and ready to go when the crew told them that a mouse-spotting meant they couldn't take off. The crew joked that the mouse couldn't enter US airspace without a pass- port, and told everyone they needed a whole new plane. That meant a four- hour delay. They told KGO-TV in San Francisco after the flight arrived Wednes- day that despite the de- lay most passengers were happy to be on a mouse- free aircraft, especially knowing they'd be eating on the flight. AVIATION Rodent delays flight By Adrian Sainz The Associated Press MEMPHIS, TENN. Nearly four decades after Elvis sang his last tune, his leg- acy got a $45 million boost with the Thursday opening of a major new attraction at his Graceland estate — an entertainment complex that Priscilla Presley says gives "the full gamut" of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. About 200 people streamed into "Elvis Pre- sley's Memphis" after the late singer's wife cut a rib- bon and allowed fans to see the $45 million complex for the first time. Resembling an outdoor mall, the 200,000-square- foot campus sits across the street from Graceland, Presley's longtime home- turned-museum. The com- plex features a comprehen- sive Presley exhibit with clothing he wore on stage and guitars he played; a showcase of the cars he owned and used; a sound- stage; a theater; two restau- rants and retail stores. "You're getting the full gamut of who Elvis Presley was," Priscilla Presley said during an interview after the grand opening. "You're getting to see and partic- ipate a bit in his life and what he enjoyed and what he loved to collect." It's part of a $140 mil- lion expansion, which also includes a $90 million, 450- room hotel that opened last year. The complex replaces the aging buildings that have housed Presley-related exhibits for years. An old, gray, strip-mall style visi- tor center will be torn down to make room for a greens- pace along Elvis Presley Boulevard, the street that runs in front of the house. Graceland has been up- dating its tourist expe- rience. Visitors now use iPads for self-guided tours of the house. The new Guest House at Graceland, with modern amenities like glass-encased showers with wall-mounted body sprays and Keurig coffee makers in room, has replaced the crumbling Heartbreak Ho- tel, which is scheduled for demolition. "We want to keep updat- ing ... If you don't keep up with what's going on in the times, you get left out," Pris- cilla Presley said. She was joined at the ribbon-cut- ting by Elvis Presley Enter- prises CEO Jack Soden and Joel Weinshanker, manag- ing partner of Graceland Holdings. The opening comes just before the 40th anniversary of Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977, at age 42. Adults pay $57.50 for a standard tour of the house and access to the complex. Visitors can also choose to tour just the house for a lower price. Discounts are offered for seniors and chil- dren. A self-guided tour of two airplanes owned by Presley is $5 more. From the ticketing area, people line up to wait for buses that take visitors to the museum, or they can move through the enter- tainment complex's large, high-ceilinged buildings. Gladys' Diner — named after the singer's mother — has the feel of a 1950s eat- ery, complete with pictures of Presley, aqua-colored chairs and stations where patrons can order hot dogs, burgers and ice cream. There's also Presley's fa- vorite: Gladys' World Fa- mous Peanut Butter and Ba- nana Sandwich, fried in ba- con grease. Another PB&B sandwich is cooked in but- ter. Across a wide walkway lies the automobile mu- seum, filled with some of Presley's favorite toys. Among them is a pink 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood — a cus- tom painted model that he gave to his mother — and a sleek, black 1973 Stutz Blackhawk that he drove the day he died. The walkway leads to the 20,000-square foot mu- seum called "Elvis: The En- tertainer," which features white and purple jump- suits he wore during con- certs and gold-colored gui- tars he played on stage. Several retail stores line the complex. A second res- taurant, a barbecue joint called Vernon's Smokehouse — named after Presley's fa- ther — will also open. So will an exhibition focused on Sam Phillips, the Sun Re- cords producer and rock 'n' roll pioneer who recorded Presley for the first time. The complex is still be- ing finished. Priscilla Pres- ley said there's a warehouse full of artifacts, ready for display. Among the fans eager to get a glimpse at the new exhibits was Carol Carey, a retiree who made the short trip across the state line from Southaven, Missis- sippi, with her son. Wearing a pink shirt with the words "Wild About Graceland" on it, Carey beamed a wide smile as she talked about the complex. "We couldn't wait to see it," she said. "We've been here every other day, check- ing it out. Getting used to saying goodbye to the old, and seeing friends who are all taking pictures of every- thing." LATE ROCK STAR Elvis Presley's Graceland opens a new $45 million complex MARKHUMPHREY—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Bruce Lutes, of Danville, Ill., poses for a photo in a souvenir shop as he visits the "Elvis Presley's Memphis" complex Thursday in Memphis, Tenn. By Elliot Spagat The Associated Press SAN DIEGO A federal judge will consider an agreement for the U.S. government to pay $1 million to the chil- dren of a Mexican man who died after being de- tained by immigration au- thorities and shot several times with a stun gun. If approved at a hear- ing Thursday in San Diego, the settlement would end a nearly 7-year-old case that prompted widespread complaints that U.S. im- migration authorities tol- erated agents who use ex- cessive force. Prosecutors declined to file criminal charges. Terms of the settlement disclosed in a court filing last week would split the money among Anastasio Hernandez's five children, with about a quarter going for attorney fees and costs. The 42-year-old un- armed man died after a confrontation with au- thorities in May 2010 at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing with Ti- juana, Mexico. Authorities have said he was combat- ive while being returned to Mexico. The death attracted in- tense scrutiny in 2012 af- ter an eyewitness video that aired on PBS ap- peared to show Hernan- dez being shot while lying on the ground, surrounded by about a dozen agents. Sixteen members of Con- gress wrote then-Home- land Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to say Hernandez's death "may be emblematic of broader structural problems." In 2015, the U.S. Jus- tice Department said it accepted the authorities' contention that the force they used was reason- able and necessary to re- strain Hernandez Rojas when he was "noncompli- ant and physically assaul- tive." The Mexican govern- ment strongly condemned the decision. Hernandez moved to San Diego from the cen- tral Mexican state of San Luis Potosi when he was a teenager and found work in construction. He and his partner, Maria Puga, had five U.S.-born children. The altercation began as Hernandez had been arrested by the Border Pa- trol with his brother in the mountains east of San Di- ego, allegedly after enter- ing the country illegally. An autopsy found he died of a heart attack, with a heart condition and methamphetamine use listed as contributing fac- tors. The autopsy said Her- nandez was unresponsive shortly after he was shot with a stun gun, appar- ently three or four times. SAN DIEGO Judge to consider $1 million settlement in border killing By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO California is ready to dramatically in- crease pay for certain prison doctors in response to pres- sure to add physicians and improve inmate health care. The tentative contract with the Union of American Physicians and Dentists, ob- tained by The Associated Press, includes a 9 percent raise over four years for the union's roughly 1,500 mem- bers. But it bumps doctors' pay another 15 percent each year if they work at a dozen pris- ons with physician vacancy rates averaging 30 percent. For a doctor earning the average $270,000 per year that's more than $160,000 over the life of the contract. "They're going to be well taken care of, they're going to be very happy," said the union's president, Dr. Stu- art Bussey. The shortage of medi- cal and mental health pro- fessionals has been stalling California's progress toward improving prison conditions enough to end the 11-year federal oversight. With too few doctors, "there are tremendous back- logs," said Don Specter, di- rector of the Berkeley-based nonprofit Prison Law Office that sued the state over poor medical care. "Certainly the risk of harm is much greater whenyouhavelongdelaysto see a physician." The union and state offi- cialsbelievethepayhikewill attract the roughly 70 doc- tors needed to fill all vacan- cies. Bonuses are also going to doctors at eight state facili- ties that treat veterans and thosewithmentalanddevel- opmental disabilities, to dis- suade those physicians from transferring to nearby pris- ons. There's also a shortage of psychiatrists that at some prisons is as severe as the dearth of doctors. But the contract doesn't call for any bonuses for them. The shortage is so acute that special master Mat- thew Lopes Jr. recently rec- ommended that the federal judge overseeing inmate mental health care consider raisingwagesbycourtorder, as judges did in 2006. "If they fail to do it on their own, then the court should, in our opinion, force the increases," said Michael Bien, one of the attorneys representing mentally ill in- mates. The number of severely mentally ill inmates being seen by each prison psychi- atrist increased from 30 to 42 between November 2014 and November 2016, while the number of prison psy- chiatrists dropped from 251 to 216, according to statis- tics compiled by inmates' lawyers. California taxpayers have spent billions of dollars in the last decade to increase salaries and build or im- prove mental health and medical facilities in state prisons. CRIMINAL JUSTICE So me C al if or ni a pr is on d oc to rs co ul d ge t bi g ra is e SweetCaroline September 11, 2016 ~ February 14, 2017 Our sweet Caroline Essie Binger was born September 11th, 2016 to her loving parents, William Shane Binger and Ashley Nichole Binger. Our little princess weighed 6 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19 inches long. She was truly a miracle baby. The pregnancy quickly became a high- risk pregnancy as there was a concern that she was going to be born with Trisomy 13, but she was born so perfect- ly healthy and beautiful. She was born on an infamous day remembered as one of the saddest days in history, and she for us made it a day of perfect beauty and happi- ness. It truly was one of the most amazing days of our lives. Sadly, sweet Caroline was called home to heaven on February 14th, 2017, on a day of love and celebration. Caroline Essie Binger passed away in her home of SIDs. Our love for our little princess will be remembered and celebrated on this day, and every other day for the rest of our lives. Caroline was survived by many loved ones including her parents William Shane Binger and Ashley Nichole Binger, her siblings Abel Eugene Binger and Beau Ri- chard Binger. She is also survived by her grandmother Essie Merrie Binger, grandmother Tina Ann Kanen, and grandfather Richard Norman Kanen. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Robert Eugene Binger. Although Caroline only lived to be 5 months of age she had quite an impact on our lives and will be greatly missed. She was the happiest baby you ever laid eyes on. There was not a minute that she was not smiling. She loved when her parents sang "You Are My Sunshine" to her and spending time with her family. Her immense gor- geous eyes could light up any room. You could be hav- ing a long day and just one look at her would melt your heart. There she was with those huge owl eyes and giant grin with slobber running down her bib. We will always love and miss you princess. Someday we will meet again in heaven our sweet Caroline. Soar high with those angel wings sweet baby girl. We will be holding service in remembrance of Caroline on March 4th, 2017 at 2 pm. It will take place at Hoyt- Cole Chapel of Flowers located at 816 Walnut Street, Red Bluff, CA 96080. We would like to especially thank Hoyt- Cole Chapel of Red Bluff and Goble's Fortuna Mortuary for their donations.
