Each item is date stamped when it arrives to ensure items do not sit on the shelf too long. So far products have been gone shortly after their arrival, she said. "The sad thing is it costs more to dispose of some- thing than to buy it new and there's a hidden cost to the public," Miller said. "Tehama County spends about $70,000 a year to manage household haz- ardous waste and a large portion of that is for dis- posal, so if we can help with that we'll save our jurisdiction quite a bit of money." The program has already received national recog- nition with an award for program innovation given to the agency by the North American Hazardous Mate- rials Management Association, she said. "We're very proud to have received this award and hope it will give the program more recognition, lead- ing to it being duplicated elsewhere," Miller said. One of the most surprising items the program acquired was bug repellent, which is an odd, but very useful product, Recycling Coordinator Brin Greer said. Other items received include rain repellent prod- uct for clothing, fertilizers, paint, cleaning products, windshield de-icer, car wash polishes and special- ized crafters texturing paint. REAP does not accept household hazardous waste since its products come from the two hazardous waste facilities in Red Bluff and Corning. All prod- ucts are in original containers with original labeling intact. For more information on REAP or hours for the hazardous waste facility call 528-1103 or visit www.tehamacountylandfill.com. NYC Marathon is canceled NEW YORK (AP) — Under growing pressure with thousands still shivering from Sandy, the New York City Marathon was canceled Friday by Mayor Michael Bloomberg after mounting criticism that this was not the time for a race. With the death toll in the city at 41 and power not yet fully restored, many New Yorkers had recoiled at the prospect of police officers being assigned to protect a marathon, storm victims being evicted from hotels to make way for runners, and big generators humming along at the finish-line tents in Central Park. Around 47,500 runners — 30,000 of them from out- report, the council will consider a resolution that would waive a water meter fee for the Tehama District Fairground. The city charges $454.39 for the 6-inch meter the fairground uses. The fairground is one of three customers that uses the 6-inch meter. Historically the fair- ground did not pay the fee, but when new fees were implemented in May, the fair began being charged. The resolution would retroactively waive the fee to July 15. the fairground's recent state budget cuts and vital role to the community. The staff report cites The fairground would still pay water consump- tion rates, if approved.

Obama, Romney going all- out on final weekend PATASKALA, Ohio (AP) — Down to a fierce finish, President Barack Obama accused Mitt Romney of scar- ing voters with lies on Friday, while the Republican chal- lenger warned grimly of political paralysis and another recession if Obama reclaims the White House. Heading into the final weekend, the race's last big report on the economy showed hiring picking up but millions still out of work. ''Four more days!'' Romney supporters bellowed at his rally in Wisconsin. ''Four more years!'' Obama back- ers shouted as the president campaigned in Ohio. With Ohio at the center of it all, the candidates sharp- ened their closing lines, both clutching to the mainstream middle while lashing out at one another. Virtually all of the nine homestretch battleground states were getting personal attention from the contenders or top members of their teams, and Romney was pressing hard to add Penn- sylvania to the last-minute mix. Urgency could be felt all across the campaign, from the big and boisterous crowds to the running count that roughly 24 million people already have voted. Outside the White House, workers were setting the foundation for the inaugural viewing stand for Jan. 20. Lawyers from both camps girded for a fight should the election end up too close to call. Obama, for the first time, personally assailed Romney over ads suggesting that automakers General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of auto- industry dependent Ohio. Both companies have called the ads untrue. The matter is sensitive in Ohio, perhaps the linchpin state of the election. gridlock in lines for gas NEW YORK (AP) — When it came to fuel supplies and patience, the New York metro area was running close to empty Friday. Fuel shortage means From storm-scarred New Jersey to parts of Connecticut, a widespread lack of gasoline or electricity to pump it brought grousing, gridlock and worse, compounding frus- trations as millions of Americans struggled to return to nor- mal days after Superstorm Sandy. A man pulled a gun in one gas-line fracas that led to an arrest. Lines of cars, and in many places queues of people on foot carrying bright red jerry cans for generators, waited for hours for the precious fuel. And those were the lucky ones.

U.N. officials and human rights groups believe Presi- dent Bashar Assad's regime is responsible for the bulk of suspected war crimes in Syria's 19-month-old conflict, which began as a largely peaceful uprising but has trans- formed into a brutal civil war.
