Hospital petitioners have their day in court and one more coming
Linda Satchwell
Staff Writer
A packed courtroom, presided over by a retired judge of Butte Superior Court, the Honorable Thomas Kelly, listened April 27 as petitioners for the Plumas District Hospital Tax Limitation Initiative brought an ex parte application.
Judge Kelly was brought in from Butte County when local judges Ira Kaufman and Janet Hilde recused themselves from hearing the case.
Initiative proponents explained in their petition that they were bringing an "ex parte" application, which is an expedited judicial process, because they're almost out of time for the Aug. 31 election date.
Ex parte judicial proceedings are usually reserved for urgent matters when requiring notice would subject one party to irreparable harm. The petitioners argued here that if they waited for the time required to file a normal case where the affected party, the hospital, had time to prepare a response, they would miss the August election date.
Though the hospital has opted for putting the initiative on the ballot in the November general election, the petitioners are asking the judge to force an earlier election.
They state, "PHD has failed to follow the applicable law and has engaged in a pattern of delay to prevent petitioners' initiative from coming before the voters of the district in a timely manner."
In response, Plumas District Hospital's special legal counsel, Michael Colantuono, filed documents opposing the petitioners' application for a temporary restraining order.
Colantuono's "opposition" pointed to the "woefully inadequate notice" (less than 48 hours) that this ex parte petition afforded the hospital to respond.
Further, Colantuono charged the petition requires the judge to decide on issues that weren't in the original petition, including the Aug. 31 election and the temporary restraining order, detailed above.
He asked for the case to be dismissed or, barring that, for an extended time period so that the respondents have "an opportunity to present evidence in opposition to petitioners' application."
In addition, Colantouno's response asked the court to "deny the application on the merits." He pointed out that the initiative doesn't qualify for immediate submission to the voters: It is the hospital district's decision whether or not to go ahead with the next special election or opt for the next general election.
The respondents also pointed to the fact that the petitioners "cite no case law or statutory" to support any of the three applications for judgment they have before the court. That, Colantuono wrote, is an "unprecedented violation of the separation of powers doctrine." He argued, basically, that it is within the hospital district's authority to decide all three matters, and that the legal branch has no right to step in.
The petitioners maintained, however, that several election dates, including a general election in June, have been missed because the hospital has purposely impeded the initiative process (which is detailed in the petitioners' Application For Ruling On Writ Of Mandate, pp. 4 – 6).
The primary matter in this case is whether or not Plumas District Hospital can alter the ballot language that the petitioners set forth in their initiative. According to the petitioners, "PDH has, without authority, changed the question to be presented to the voters."
Colantuono countered that the district, not the petitioners, has the authority to draft the ballot question. "Elections Code 10403 provides that the district set forth the exact form of any proposition to be voted upon at an election requested to be consolidated." The proposition "shall conform to this code governing the wording of propositions submitted to the voters at a statewide election."
He quoted code section 9051(b): "The ballot title and summary may differ from the legislative, circulating, or other title and summary of the measure ..."
But the opposition noted that this code refers solely to state elections. It reads, "The Attorney General, shall provide and return to the Secretary of State a ballot title and summary and ballot label for each measure submitted to the voters ..."
Colantuono was aware the code refers to state elections, because he calls it a "state requirement."
He continued, "Petitioners, like all initiative proponents, would like to control the form of ballot question ... (but) proponents of statewide, countywide and municipal initiatives do not have authority to write their ballot questions. No public policy reason exists to extend to proponents of district initiative measures a right that no other imitative proponent in the state enjoys."
In his "Ex Parte Application For Ruling," Bret Cook, attorney for the petitioners, pointed out, "PDH is a district of limited powers ... governed by Elections Code 9300."
That code refers specifically to initiative measures submitted to voters in district elections. (Division 9, Chapter 4, Article 1 of the Elections Code) "Nowhere," continued Cook, "under 9300 is PDH authorized to alter the initiative language or to provide a ballot label."
Cook also pointed out the code is specific in reference to both state and county elections in stating who will write the ballot label. In the case of the state, the task falls to the attorney general, and in county elections, it's the county counsel who determines a "true and impartial ballot title and summary."
Elections Code 9300 doesn't designate anyone to write the "ballot title, summary and label." PDH, he reasoned, "can't assume to itself powers it does not have." Further, he pointed out "that the entire initiative, including title, is approximately 51 words long," and argued, "the entire initiative should be presented on the ballot."
Judge Kelly heard from hospital attorney Steve Gross, standing in for Colantuono, who argued PDH hadn't had time to file a proper response given such short notice.
Kelly asked what the hospital intended to file, and Gross told him it planned to obtain declarations from the hospital's Chief Executive Officer Dick Hathaway and board president Dr. Mark Satterfield.
He added they might seek a declaration from the elections official, Kathy Williams, as well. He asked for 10 days to respond.
Kelly admitted he expected the request for a continuance. He consulted with Interim County Counsel Brian Morris, who was in attendance, to determine the latest possible date for a response that also would allow the petitioners' request for an August election to come before the Board of Supervisors, a necessary step for a special election.
Kelly determined that May 10 was the latest date possible for the hearing and then set May 5, at close of business, as the deadline for a response from the hospital.
He then gave Cook, the petitioners' attorney, until May 7 to file a response to the hospital's response.
Kelly set the next court date for May 10, at 1:30 p.m.

If you don't like pointy shoes don't buy these! These are very comfortable shoes and are great quality, however, when I put these on there is at least 2" of space in the front. The sizing is accurate, they are just pointy!
I would recomend this shoes they are inexpensive and comfortable . I saw the same show on macys and its a lot cheaper her O.S.
Should have sent these back but my husband thought they would be ok once they were broke in a little. No chance he said they were the most uncomfortable shoes he has owned. We went out and bought a different pair within a few days. So the pair we bought are in the garbage. And they smell awful.
Great shoes. Wore it for my daughter's wedding the entire night. Very comfortable. Great buy.
the shoe is a great shoe. It runs alittle bigger so for someone ordering keep that in mind.
Great fit, great price, but shoe has an overpowering petroleum/rubber smell that stinks up an entire room.

IRS boss firing called a first step by NH, other conservatives
"I will do everything in my power to make sure nothing like this happens again," Obama told reporters at the White House.
"While this is an obvious first step, it doesn't eliminate the need for a thorough, bipartisan investigation," U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., said in a statement. "Targeting specific types of political groups for extra scrutiny represents a serious abuse of power, and we need to get to the bottom of what happened to hold wrong-doers accountable and make sure this never happens again. The American people rightfully expect to be treated fairly and impartially by their government, and I am hopeful that the President will make good on his promise to work with Congress to provide answers."
"The outrageous conduct by employees at the IRS is completely inexcusable, and the President was absolutely right to ask for and accept the acting commissioner's resignation," U.S. Rep. Ann McLane Kuster, D-N.H., said in a statement. "There can be no tolerating this type of behavior — period. Any individuals involved in this wrongdoing must be held fully accountable, and the administration and Congress must take all steps necessary to ensure this never happens again."
Miller said in a message to colleagues that there is a "strong and immediate need" to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency.
And on Monday, the Justice Department came under fire for seizing phone records of journalists from the Associated Press as part of a criminal probe into intelligence leaks.
Reuters and New Hampshire Union Leader Staff Writer Tim Buckland contributed to this report.

No. 1 Ryan Villopoto
The first two events of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season got the year started off with a bang. A rookie cracked the top 5, but the leaders of the pack should come as no surprise. Here's how things stand in the 450 and 250 classes after the first two stops.
Defending three-time season champ Ryan Villopoto missed a Top 3 finish in the opener in Anaheim after a crash while trying to pass leader Ken Roczen, but rebounded by passing eight riders to win the 450 class in Phoenix. His point total puts him on top of the standings thus far in the season, but it's a slim lead.

Chavez rolling for A's into rematch with Astros
Right-hander riding 1.38 ERA through four starts with Oakland
HOUSTON -- The A's Jesse Chavez, one of the game's early feel-good stories, will take the mound Friday night for his fifth start of the year and second in a row against the Astros.
The 30-year-old journeyman, who will be opposed by right-hander Brad Peacock for the second contest of a four-game set at Minute Maid Park, has made a seamless transition from long reliever to starter, entering the matchup with a 1.38 ERA, which ties him for fifth in the Majors with Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto. Only Toronto's Mark Buehrle has a better mark (0.64) in the American League.
Chavez was initially expected to start the year in the bullpen again. But injuries to teammates Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin altered Oakland's rotation plans, and the A's have managed just fine, with their starters allowing three earned runs or fewer in 20 of the first 22 games.
Thursday's 10-1 victory moved Oakland back into a first-place tie with Texas in the AL West. The Astros are in last place, at 7-16.
"When somebody goes down or somebody's struggling, you give somebody else an opportunity, and it's their turn to shine," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "Jesse's been focused and ready for that opportunity and continues to run with it."
In allowing the Astros just one run in a 4-1 series-sweeping victory in Oakland on Sunday, his first career win as a starter, Chavez became the first player in A's history to start the season on the Opening Day roster to surrender one earned run or none while tossing at least six innings in each of his first four starts.
Through 26 innings, the right-hander has struck out 28 and walked just five. Opponents are batting just .196 off him.
"You have to stay after it," Chavez said. "If I didn't, I wouldn't be in this position. I'm just fortunate and thankful that they gave me the opportunity for this."
Peacock, formerly in the A's organization before being traded with Chris Carter to Houston for Jed Lowrie last year, will be making just his second start of the season, having begun the season in the bullpen. His first came Sunday in Oakland, where he suffered a loss when allowing the A's two runs on five hits with three walks and four strikeouts over five innings.
The hard-throwing righty's return to the rotation was prompted by Lucas Harrell's demotion, though he's been adequate in these spot situations for the Astros during the past two seasons.
"I think we feel confident giving [the ball] to any of our guys so far," said Houston manager Bo Porter. "They're mostly giving us chances to win, even if the offense isn't matching it. That's all we can ask of them, really."
The A's have had the Astros' number, posting an all-time record of 24-5 against them, including 15-4 last year and 4-0 this season.
"Our record against them says a lot about our inability to throw strikes," Porter said. "They're a real patient team and always understand what they're trying to do in their offensive approach. If you don't throw strikes, they'll work you all game. We can sometimes struggle with that.
"Any time you play in your division, you have to play well. To make strides as an organization and become champions, it starts with beating the teams in your division."
A's: Griffin to get second opinion on elbow
Griffin, who has yet to pitch this year because of a flexor strain in his right elbow, will visit Dr. Thomas Mehlhoff in Houston on Tuesday for a second opinion.
The right-hander, who experienced elbow pain at the end of the 2013 season and again in Spring Training, was shut down nearly six weeks ago but has since shown no improvement. He tried throwing again for the first time this week but still felt discomfort.
There's a chance he may need Tommy John surgery. Mehlhoff performed the procedure on A's rehabbing reliever Fernando Rodriguez last March.
Astros: Albers remains unavailable with shoulder issue
Right-hander Matt Albers was unavailable for a third straight day Thursday, as the reliever continues to deal with shoulder stiffness.
"We'll let the training staff continue to evaluate," Porter said Thursday," and we'll go day to day with his situation."
Though the injury isn't believed to be serious, the Astros may ultimately have to place the 31-year-old on the 15-day disabled list if he doesn't show any improvement soon. He's allowed just one earned run on 10 hits with three walks and 10 strikeovers over 10 innings this year.
"The longer we go, that risk can increase," Porter said. "I'm not going to jump the gun yet. We'll see how he responds to treatment and hopefully things will work themselves out."
Worth noting
• A's third baseman Josh Donaldson, who collected his fifth and sixth homers of the year in Thursday's win, has hit safely in six straight games and 16 of his last 17.
• The A's improved to 14-8 in the month of April on Thursday, clinching their 11th consecutive winning month dating back to June 2012 -- tying the second longest such streak in Oakland history. The record is 13 months, achieved September 1970 to September 1972.
• The Astros rank third in the AL with 26 home runs and are 7-7 in games they homer but 0-9 when they do not.

cbboarder, precisely ... to escape religious persecution ... to start a country where everyone is free to choose their own religion and where there is a separation between the churches and the country, not a foundation in a religion.
"The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the christian religion" Treaty of Tripoli signed under George Washington's presidency.
I mentioned the charities to try to explain the recent events of the past weeks. It wasn't to establish whether or not Chickfila stands for "traditional" marriage or against gay-marriage. Cathy made that clear. But to further his comments, the charities don't help. Some others besides Exodus ... Marriage and Family Foundation, Georgia Family Council, and Family Research Council, which is a certified anti-gay hate group. So yes, actually anti-gay groups.
The many that supported chickfila on Wed did so as christians who support traditional marriage and don't believe gays deserve marital rights. Whether that's how the appreciation day started is debatable, but whether or not that's why people showed up doesn't seem quite as debatable, as evidenced by this thread and other social venues. Yes, I agree, though, it blew up via the media but despite where it started I thought it was clear what it had become about. I could be the one living under a rock, though?
What do someones religious beliefs and a state recognized legal contract have to do with one another? I have no clue.
At the end of the day, equality for the gay community is going to happen and chickfila is going to continue serving chicken loved by many ... and I'm good with both.

The Los Angeles Times reports that "Chick-fil-A will no longer donate money to anti-gay groups or discuss hot-button political issues after an executive's controversial comments this summer landed the fast-food chain in the middle of the gay marriage debate.
Executives agreed in recent meetings to stop funding groups opposed to same-sex unions, including Focus on the Family and the National Organization for Marriage, according to Chicago Alderman Proco Joe Moreno."
The agreement, the story suggests, will lead to local officials not indulging in anti-Chick-fil-A rhetoric and suggesting that the chain would not fit into cities with, shall we say, a more liberal electorate.
The controversy began this summer when CEO Dan Cathy said that he supported what he called "the Biblical definition" of marriage, and suggested that he would support organizations that took that position.
As the Times writes, "Supporters swarmed restaurants around the country in early August, as protesters gathered outside, for Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, launched by former presidential candidate and conservative Mike Huckabee.
"A report from LGBT advocacy group Equality Matters found that from 2003 to 2009, Chick-fil-A donated more than $3 million to Christian groups that oppose homosexuality. In 2010, the fast-food company gave nearly $2 million to such causes, according to the report."
Now, the story says, the company has said it "will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas."'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

There are many things to consider with a system upgrade, such as what will I gain from the upgrade or which part should I upgrade or even more so at what level should I upgrade the selected component to? In many cases the graphics card is the target of the upgrade path as new games always demand more firepower and even newer features to unlock the games full pretty factor.

This a nice fragrance..It has an unusual scent and is always a nice change from my heavier scents. Great for warmer weather. I also get a kick out of the name because I'm a middle school art teacher. What could be a nicer tribute than wearing Mona Lisa.

Kosher Bread
Charlotte's Challah |
Adapted from a recipe by Charlotte Orrin I made my homemade challah using the Red Star Platinum yeast. I have never had my dough rise so nicely and then when it was done, it was so fluffy that it was amazing!! I will definitely be switching to this yeast every week. Ingredients: 3 tbs Red Star Platinum yeast Directions: Mix the yeast with the water and 2 tbs.sugar till it bubbles and doubles in size In a bowl mix together the flour, 1 cup sugar, oil, honey, eggs and salt. When the yeast is done, add it to the flour mixture and mix it together till the dough doesn't stick to your hands. Put it in a big bowl, cover in a warm spot and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours. Then punch it down and let it rise for another hour. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Separate the challah into dough balls (if you want 3 challahs you should have 3 chunks of dough). Braid the challah and place into the pan, brush it with egg and bake until it doubles in size. Raise the oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue baking for about an hour or until it's golden brown!! I find that when you do a slow bake, it bakes more evenly. Notes: Yield: 3 challahs Recipes: Bread, Challah, Parve, Kosher |

Cashner rides momentum into matchup vs. O's
Young Padres right-hander will face off against Tillman in Baltimore
The Padres and Orioles will meet for the first time in three years at Camden Yards on Tuesday.
The Orioles return to Baltimore for a much-needed homestand after playing 14 of their last 17 games on the road.
They will be up against a San Diego team that is coming off a sweep at the hands of the Rays but had won six of seven prior to that.
The Padres' last series ended with disappointment, as they had held the lead in each of three games but could not hold on in any of them.
On Tuesday, the Padres turn to their promising righty, Andrew Cashner, who will look to build on one of his best starts in his young career.
Cashner tossed 7 1/3 scoreless frames last Monday against the Marlins, allowing just four hits and three walks while striking out four.
It was a nice comeback outing for the 26-year-old, who was coming off a poor outing against the Cubs, and it was the longest start of the young hurler's career.
"I like the fact that he bounced back after a rough game last week in Chicago," Padres manager Bud Black said afterward. "He came back with a little bit of determination to prove that he's more of this type of pitcher."
Cashner's start against Baltimore will be only his fifth start of the season, having spent the first part of the year in the bullpen. His start Tuesday is later than anticipated -- he was originally scheduled for Saturday's game, but the righty was bumped back a couple of days to help manage his innings.
"We don't have a hard number [of innings], but we're going to keep an eye on his usage," Black said. "With Cash, we know there will be a time when we scale him back. It's his usage the last couple of years that hasn't been great."
Cashner threw just 57 innings in the Majors in the 2011-12 seasons combined, having been shut down in each of them as a result of injury. He is already at 30 2/3 innings this year.
Opposing him Tuesday will be Chris Tillman, who will take to the mound for the Orioles looking to maintain his recent success, having recorded a quality start in four straight games.
However, in his last time out, against Kansas City, the 25-year-old right-hander did not have his best stuff. Tillman allowed three earned runs on three walks and five hits, while striking out a season-low two in six innings on the mound.
However, the Anaheim, Calif., native still managed to better his record to 3-1, recording his third straight victory.
"You get your team deep in the ballgame, you feel good about it, whether or not you featured your best stuff," Tillman said after the game. "You give your team a chance to win and get deep in the game. ... I'd like to get deeper, but you feel good about it."
Padres: San Diego seeing sudden surge in power
The Padres are suddenly seeing their fair share of home runs, hitting 19 in their last 14 games.
Prior to Sunday's contest, the Padres' power was good for fifth in the Major Leagues and second in the National League over that span. Only the Indians (24 home runs), Pirates (23), Tigers (21) and Angels (20) had hit more.
Of those 19 home runs, Chris Headley and Will Venable lead the team with three, and 10 different players had cleared the fences over that span, including Alexi Amarista, who hit his second of the year Sunday against the Rays.
"If you look at this club and the makeup of this group, there's more raw power and strength through the lineup," Black said. "There are even guys at the bottom of the order who can pop the ball."
Orioles: Belfiore excited for MLB debut
Mike Belfiore was called up to the Orioles on Sunday, a year after being dealt to the team, to add some length to an overworked bullpen.
"It's just one of those days, I guess you can say," said Belfiore, who had his parents, girlfriend and friends on hand for the Mother's Day game. "Life-changing days."
Belfiore, ranked by MLB.com as the Orioles' No. 18 prospect, takes the roster spot vacated by Steve Johnson, who was optioned to Triple-A after a four-inning start Saturday night. The 24-year-old has yet to make his big league debut, but being even this close has the left-hander excited.
"It's unbelievable," said Belfiore, who flew into Minneapolis early Sunday morning and will wear No. 65. "This is the dream that everyone wants to do when they are younger, and it's finally here. It hasn't set in yet, but just a dream come true."
In 10 games for the O's Triple-A team, Belfiore was 1-0 with a 5.52 ERA, but he was 5-1 with a 2.85 ERA in 28 outings with Double-A Bowie in 2012.
• Miguel Gonzalez, who was placed on the disabled list retroactive to May 4, was going to try to throw Sunday, but the blister on his right thumb had not healed enough to allow it. Gonzalez will try to throw a side session Tuesday, and he could make a rehab start as early as Thursday or Friday.
Worth noting
• When these teams last met, June 18-20, 2010, the Padres took two of three at Petco Park.

With six albums to his credit (both acoustic and electric), Ray has built a repertoire that plays like a series of magical sonic pictures.
