State fire officials say crews have been able to stop its forward progression though 20 structures remain threatened. The fire is now 30 percent contained. It forced the evacuation of at least one subdivision. That evacuation order remains in place. Another subdi- vision was under a voluntary evacuation that has since been lifted. High pay a costly legacy of Calif. prison receiver SACRAMENTO (AP) — A doctor at California Medical Facility was paid more than $410,000 last year, while a registered nurse at High Desert State Prison made nearly $236,000 — more than twice the statewide average in both cases. A pharmacist at Corcoran State Prison was paid more than $196,000, nearly double what is typical across the state. Compensation for medical providers has soared in the prison system since a federal judge seized control of inmate health care in 2006 and appointed an overseer with the power to hire and set pay levels. As the official begins to wind down his oversight, the medical hiring and salary increases have helped lead to an improvement in inmate care, but it has increased the bill for taxpayers too. It has also led to criticism that the official — called all Tehama County residents, works hard to add something new every year, but is always looking for vol- unteers to come on board and bring fresh, new ideas, Gilles said. "It has become a county-wide event," Gilles said. "The entire county supports us and the scholar- ships for the upper division go to agriculture students who graduated from any school in Tehama County. All the proceeds are going right back to our community." The event hosts an annual fun run that starts and finishes at 68th Avenue and Shaffer, organized by Bev and Alan Abbs. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and the youth mile starts at 8 a.m. with a 5K run/walk and a 10K run at 9 a.m. "We had 150 participants last year," Gilles said. "The weather looks good so we should have a good turnout this year, too." The Diaper Derby, which starts at noon at the main stage area, is another highlight. It is open to crawlers only and the winner gets a onesie with the festival's logo on it, she said. and various community service organizations will be on hand along with Author Alley, featuring local authors, and the 4-H bake sale and petting zoo.

A state review found that only Texas pays its state prison doctors more that California. ''The problem that we had is that the receiver was not accountable to anybody,'' said former state Sen. George Runner, a Republican who has frequently criti- cized the program. ''So the receiver could just do or choose to spend whatever amount of money he thought was necessary to solve his problem, and unfortunately now the state is stuck with that,'' he said. The receiver for medical care, J. Clark Kelso, said the state has been free to collectively bargain health care providers' salaries since a court order increasing their wages expired three years ago. The receiver's goal was to correct a prison medical system that was ruled unconstitutional for its substan- dard care and, at one point, contributed to an inmate death each week through negligence or malfeasance. To do that, the receivership increased salaries, creat- ed new positions at high pay and hired hundreds of employees to fill longtime vacancies. Total spending on medical, dental and mental health care for inmates, numbering 124,700, has more than doubled over the last decade, from $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2003-04 to a projected $2.3 billion this year. The number of medical, mental health and dental workers in the prisons more than doubled over six years, from 5,100 in 2005, the year before the receiver- ship was created, to 12,200 last year. More than 1,400 were administrators who don't directly treat inmates, according to a state Assembly oversight committee.
