Calif. snowpack just 17 percent of normal

ECHO SUMMIT, Calif. (AP) - California's last snow survey of the season is bad news for the millions of state residents who rely on the snowpack for their water.  

The state Department of Water Resources found the water content in the snowpack on Thursday was 17 percent of normal, an ominous situation for a state that depends on a steady stream of snowmelt to replenish reservoirs throughout the summer.  

In some places, there was no snow at all.  

State officials are projecting they will deliver just 35 percent of the water that has been requested from the 29 agencies that rely on the snowmelt, which supplies more than 25 million Californians.  

This year has been one of the driest rainy seasons on record in some parts of California.

Fugitives accused of child abuse, manslaughter

SACRAMENTO, CA - A couple from Mississippi wanted for felony child abuse, child endangerment and manslaughter may be in Central or Northern California, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

This isn't the first time Marshals have sought the public's help in finding Janet and Ramon Barreto. The pair are wanted in connection to the 2008 death of their toddler Enna Barreto in Mississippi. During a search of the Barretos' Mississippi home, law enforcement reported finding multiple children bound with duct tape and living in a trailer filled with feces. Some of the children were found to have food stored in their cheeks, because, they told investigators, they didn't know when they would next get food.

Also on the Barretos' property: malnourished puppies in a puppy mill the couple operated, according to investigators.

Ramon Barreto is believed to have a connection in Guatamala that involves child trafficking, the Marshal's news release said.

Sacramento Kings should stay, recommends NBA panel

SACRAMENTO, CA - It's not the final decision but Monday, the NBA committee tasked with examining two competing bids for the Sacramento Kings recommended to the league's Board of Governors to deny the team's application to move to the Seattle.

The committee's vote was unanimous, 7-0 (some of the 12 members serve on both the relocation and finance committees which worked together on the reviewing the offers).

With the "all-in" vote, News10 Sports anchor Bryan May says that gives Sacramento at least 12 votes, more than the eight needed (to block a Seattle move) when the full vote by the Board of Governors (the 30 team owners or their representatives) is taken.

The owners have at least seven days to review the committee's recommendation before calling a meeting to vote. The NBA said Monday the owners would convene the week of May 13 to vote.
