A tracker on the wolf uses Global Positioning System (GPS) to sends out a signal once a day, how- ever, sometimes the signal is unable to get out because of steep terrain or if the wolf is under heavy cover, said Karen Kovacs, a California Department of Fish and Game wildlife program manager out of the Redding office. Leaving his pack is not unusual, but the typical gray wolf only wanders about 50-60 miles, Kovacs said.

After an evening of reminiscing with his family Norm closed his eyes for that final nap on September 14, 2012 in Oroville, California. Norm pursued numerous occupations in his life: from Norman Sterling Sutherland was born on July 20, 1943 While OR-7 has wan- dered close to pockets of FUTURE auto parts salesman, to corporate jet pilot. He then moved on to a more subdued earthbound path as a Taco Bell franchisee, owner of a ladies clothing store and finally owner of Sunshine dry cleaners in Red Bluff. He enjoyed being involved with drag boat racing for many years. He then chose a calmer pastime of grooming snow trails and riding his snowmobile with family and friends. His ability to change and learn a new occupation many times was an inspiration to us all. He will be remembered by his family and friends as an intelligent, loving brother, father and grandfather who will be deeply missed. Norm is preceded in death by his parents Sam & Jess Sutherland and his daughter Heather. He is survived by his sons Doug and Danny (Linda) of Oroville, his brother Richard (Lynn) of Oroville, niece Christine Sherwood of Sacramento and 5 grandchildren; Jeff, Dustin, Daniel, Lynsey and Thomas.

Besides Logue, four other candidates remain in the The other candidates are Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber; Jann Reed of Chico, a Chico Unified School District board of trustees member; Dan Levine of Chico, a graduate student; and Mickey Harrington, of Magalia, president of the Butte-Glenn Central Labor Council. Logue also is on the ballot for the Assembly, running against Charles Rouse, of Corning. Gov. Jerry Brown consolidated the special election with the general election on Nov. 6. In the special election, if one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the votes, that candidate will become the 4th District state senator. Otherwise, the first- and second-place finishers will face a runoff election on Jan. 8, 2013, a Secretary of State's office spokeswoman said. In a phone interview with the Chico Enterprise- Record, Levine said he decided to enter the Senate race "to give voters more choices." If a wolf is encoun- tered, maintain eye con- tact, act aggressive and make noise while retreat- ing slowly. If the wolf does not retreat, continue to act aggressively by yelling or throwing objects.

He said he got the feeling from staff members that they were only talking to him because they had to, not because they wanted to hear from him. Levine, 27, said he moved to Chico nearly three years ago from New Jersey, where he grew up. He said he doesn't want California to make some of the same mistakes New Jersey has made. His native state has polluted waterways and has lost much of its rural land to suburban sprawl, he said. He said he would like to rein in state spending, make sure public education at all levels is adequately funded and ensure that medical marijuana is readily available to those who need it. Ultimately, he'd like to see marijua- na legalized, he said. nongame/wolf. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Clandestine cooks who have been selling homemade food at local stores and farmer's markets will no longer have to fear legal consequences under a bill Gov. Jerry Brown signed Friday.

Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles, said he wrote the bill in response to the increas- ing number of people establishing businesses based on baking, cook- ing and pickling in home kitchens. Gatto cited the case of a Los Angeles man ordered by health offi- cials to stop selling bread he baked each week in a backyard oven.
