Calif. governor says he's he's made significant progress in reducing decades of dysfunction in California government. Brown tells the San Jose Mercury News that his recent successes include pension reform, workers' compensation reform and other legislative victories to rid California of its image of a failed state. The governor says, in his words, ''We've made a hel- reducing dysfunction SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown says luva lot of progress.'' Critics say Brown fell short in resolving the long- term unfunded pension liabilities. But Brown counters that he's done more than any of his predecessors. Brown says no governor has solved all the problems of California since Peter Burnett started in 1849. The governor says he's gotten more than anybody would have thought about three or four years ago.

Tehama County Fire Officials: 8 infants exposed to TB at CA hospital treatment.

The infants in the unit included babies born prematurely with breathing problems. at fault for the exposures because the person showed no signs of tuberculosis while visiting. ''There is no way they could Kasirye said the hospital is not exposed when someone visited the neonatal facility of Methodist Hos- pital of Sacramento from Aug. 23 to Sept. 3. Kasirye said the babies were have anticipated this,'' she said. The infants were likely not infected because they were in a large room and the visitor was in early stages of the disease, Kasirye said. All of the parents have been notified.

But for all the changes A similar incident happened in the spring when an infected Solano County resident visited Sacramen- to's Sutter Memorial Hospital and NorthBay Medical Center in Fair- field. Officials believed 26 babies were exposed to tuberculosis as a result.

Implementation of the new policy will be delayed a year to allow students approaching the 100-unit cap to plan out their remaining course schedule and to give stu- dents on academic probation time to boost their grades. The new policy was recommended earlier this year by the Student Success Task Force, which sought ways to make community colleges more effective. Some opponents have said the new policy will put low-income students at a disadvantage because they are more unfamiliar with the college system. But officials say community colleges can no longer afford to be all things to all people. ''This will place priority on students who are motivat- ed and showing good progress above those who in some cases quite frankly are meandering through the system,'' Scott Himelstein, president of the community colleges board, told the Times. Helicopter helping fight wildfires broken into UKIAH (AP) — Ukiah police are investigating the theft of a satellite phone and GPS device from an Army National Guard helicopter that had been helping fight the Scotts Fire in Lake County. The Chinook helicopter was broken into while parked at the Ukiah Municipal Airport on Sunday. It had been grounded to repair a broken engine mount, but was recently used to drop water on the Scotts Fire. Fire officials say more than 1,600 firefighters are battling the blaze that started Friday and threatening about 300 homes and 40 other structures. It has burned more than 7 square miles and is currently 50 percent contained. Chinook's door was damaged during the break in, and mechanics will have to ensure nothing else was taken or vandalized before it can be flown again. Army National Guard Col. Lou Carmona says the and new safety measures at the air race a year after a plane took a deadly plunge into spectators, the element of danger remains. Pilots will still be flying souped-up mus- cle planes wingtip to wingtip, sometimes exceeding 500 mph. ''We never thought what happened last year would happen, but we know it's not knitting,'' said Marilyn Dash, a biplane pilot from the San Francisco Bay Area who's the only woman in this year's competition. ''It's not bowling. ''Nobody ever was killed bowling, were they?'' Organizers for the 49th annual National Championship Air Races ical officer in Solano County, said the children exposed at NorthBay Medical Center are most likely not infected and will be tested next month. ''There is no indication that there is any connection,'' Kasirye said about the most recent expo- sure and those in the spring. ''It's just a reminder that we still have TB in the community.'' Tuberculosis is a serious, treat- able and slow-growing bacterial lung disease that is transmitted through microscopic droplets from coughing, sneezing, talking or singing. Sometimes the disease is drug resistant, but there's no evidence of that in the most recent case, Kasirye said. Danger in air again at Reno National Air Races by Breitling.

THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I SAY circa 1942) A reminder of the dan- ger came Tuesday after- noon during qualifying heats for the fastest planes when the pilot of a vintage Hawker Sea Fury was forced to make a rough, emergency land- ing but escaped unhurt. Among the differences from last year, the course now is more than 1,000 feet from the grandstand, instead of 850, fuel trucks set away from the landing strip and the final turn of the race is less sharp. Some of the changes are more obvious than others, including the impact crater on the edge of the tarmac that has been paved over with asphalt and the official name change to the Trav- elNevada.com National Championship Air Races and Air Show presented In Loving Memory for Gordon Griffin He was a man of integrity, and always out there for everybody with all technical problems.

Audrey, Alan, Debra, Diann, Jules, Joseph and Johanna When we had the grocery store on Walnut Street, I decided to go into partnership with Russell Peterson and operate a watermelon stand at the county fair that was put on by Karl Wahl that year out at our present rodeo grounds. We did an enormous business at 5 and10 cents per slice and the watermelons only cost us a few cents each. We worked hard all week and took in quite a bit of money, but by the time we paid for the booth that we had built and paid the high concession rent, we had the munificent sum of 27 cents to divide among ourselves. I learned a lot about overhead, however, that came in handy later but it took me a lot longer than that to learn to keep such side issues alone when I had plenty to keep me busy in my regular business.
