By ANDRE BYIK DN Sports Editor About a month after the Ponderosa Fire swept through the east-Manton area, the town's Apple Festival went on with its usual mission of community service Saturday. The festival, held at Manton School and host of 100 vendors that sold jew- elry, crafts, art and food, to name a few, was expected to raise about $15,000 this year, said Wendy Richards, mem- ber of the Manton Apple Festival Committee. Much of the money goes back into the community, Richards said, in the form of higher-education scholarships, funds for a volunteer fire department and aid for the needy. The committee baked 152 apple pies, Richards said, and was steadily selling the treats throughout the day. Hundreds gathered for the festivi- ties Saturday, and between acts of live music, committee members called out Release of 'winter-blend' gas could reduce prices SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — State air pollution regulators said Monday that California's air quali- ty is not expected to wors- en appreciably after the governor ordered the release of a dirtier blend of gasoline to help slash record-high pump prices. The California Air Resources Board issued a regulatory advisory a day earlier after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered them to allow so-called ''winter- blend'' gasoline to be sold in California earlier than usual to increase supply. AAA said the average price for a gallon of regu- lar gasoline in California hit $4.668 Monday — the highest price in the nation and an all-time high for the Golden State. Ana- lysts said the spike has been driven by refinery disruptions and corrosion issues in an important pipeline. ''This action is neces- sary to address the extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstance,'' said the board's advisory allowing the use of the more polluting fuel.

The fuel evaporates in heat more quickly than summer-blends, so sends more pollutants into the environment, especially in warm weather. California usually con- spokesman for Brown, said the governor looked at all the options avail- able, particularly scien- tists' prediction that such a change would not have a significant effect on the environment and ''when he learned this could increase the supply by 8 to 10 percent, it just made sense.''

This summer more than 207 containers were redis- tributed at a total weight of more than one ton of waste. Reuse Facility is in the works that will be open during normal business hours at the landfill. While the REAP trailer does not accept waste, household hazardous waste is accepted at two facilities in Tehama Coun- ty.
