Police: Woman faces felony DUI allegation after Napa crash, injury Napa Police arrested a woman early Sunday morning in connection with a crash that involved five vehicles on High- way 29 south of the city. Nuris Aracely Leiva, 36, of San Rafael was detained by police at 12:30 a.m.

after a wreck that injured another driver, according to police Sgt. Todd Shulman. She was booked into the Napa County jail on suspicion of causing injury by driving under the influence and child endangerment. Leiva was driving on Highway 29 with her two children in the vehicle when it rear-ended another vehicle north of the Highway intersection, triggering a chain reaction that caught up three more motorists, Shulman said. The driver whose vehicle as struck by was taken by ambulance to Queen of the Valley Medical Center, according to Shulman.

That identity and condition were not immediately available Sunday afternoon. Crash at Napa shopping center leads to arrest, police say A driver struck two signs and veered onto a sidewalk at a north Napa shopping center before her felony arrest Sat- urday afternoon on a drunken driving allegation, according to police. Shortly before 3:30 p.m., a vehicle at Napa Crossing at Trancas Street and California Boulevard hit a garbage can and pair of signs for disabled parking spaces, then ran onto 60 feet of walkway outside The Habit hamburger restau- rant, Sgt. Todd Shulman reported. Officers arriving at the shopping center arrested Con- stance Spellman Ricardo, 50, of Vallejo for investigation of driving under the influence.

The DUI allegation is for a felony because of three such convictions within the last 10 years, Shulman said. No injuries were reported in the incident. Man faces battery allegation after reported Napa attack Napa Police on Friday arrested a 45-year-old man on in connection with a reported attack last week. Jason Alan Hellman was detained at 3:45 p.m. at a home in the first block of DeWitt Avenue, and was booked into the Napa County jail on suspicion of felony battery likely to cause serious bodily injury.

Hellmann, whose last listed address was in Vallejo, also was wanted on a Solano County warrant, according to Sgt. Todd Shulman. The arrest stemmed from an incident Wednesday in the 500 block of Montecito Road, in which a man was punched in the face, lost consciousness and was hospitalized, Shul- man said. POLICE FIRE to create opportunities for to be heard on the radio. great for a commu- nity to have different people to share music and different she said.

Such stations are limited to 100 watts and a service range of about 3.5 miles. Many times, churches, as well as communities, start LPFM stations, Hen- schel-Ventrello said. In Cal- ifornia, there are more than 200 others and 2,000 such stations across the U.S., re- cords show. According to FCC records, KCMU is the only registered LPFM station in Napa. A sta- tion called St.

Helena Good News Broadcasting, KSHC at 106.5, is registered in St. Helena. Henschel-Ventrello de- scribed the current format of KCMU as with an independent music That includes lot of indie rock, African music, blues, jazz, dance music, a little techno, a little classical I mix it a mixed bag of tricks, for she said. all music you hear on other radio Artists include a wide range and mix such as the Killers, Spoon, Fela Kuti, Af- ghan Whigs, Johnny Cash, John Cale, Brian Eno, the National, Beach House, Au Pairs, the Cramps and local bands Shannon the Clams and Change. To Henschel-Ventrello, most commercial radio sta- tions focus on adult music kind of This radio station entre- preneur said is defi- nitely an appetite for people who want better music and access to different in Napa Valley.

After determining that dif- ferent variations of call letters related to Napa or Napa Val- ley were unavailable, Hen- schel-Ventrello discovered that KCMU, the call letters of her original college station, were available. KCMU was known as eclectic, cool radio she said. To her, re-using the same call letters for the Napa Radio Project means that leg- acy lives on. The antenna that helps broadcast KCMU is 40 feet tall. For security reasons, Henschel-Ventrello want to publicize the exact location, but it is somewhere in the Coombsville area of Napa.

Because the station range is only about 3.5 miles, right now, you can hear the sta- tion as far as some parts of Carneros and the airport and around Trancas Street. Henschel-Ventrello said one of the biggest obstacles to getting started was getting her nonprofit designation. took about eight months longer than I thought I was going to she said. was a learning Another obstacle was getting the radio station broadcasting on time. had to get the antenna up and broadcasting by Jan.

She and her husband own Vintage Wine Marketing, a wine wholesale business in Napa. While Henschel-Ven- trello works at her day job, she programs the station at night. The license for KCMU was free, but not the equipment. Henschel-Ventrello said the radio station antenna cost about $1,000 and the trans- mitter about $4,000. She also had to buy a radio cabinet and a computer to program the station.

Some electrical work was also required. The music itself comes from own collection and friends from other radio stations. Record labels have been sending her music as well. Because a nonprofit, and the coverage area is so small, Henschel-Ventrello esti- mated the royalty fees for the music KCMU plays will run just about $200 per year. All told, the expenses have totaled about $10,000.

Thanks to a donation from Napa resident Anne Moses, the equipment was pur- chased and installed. you get drawn into someone explained Moses. was completely by the idea of a nonprofit com- munity radio station. Plus, Henschel-Ventrello has taste in music, said Moses. incredibly creative and very community oriented.

I thought this was such a great idea for Napa Henschel-Ventrello said she already has ideas for im- provements at KCMU. After the station goes on- line, hopefully in the next couple weeks, then any- one can listen, she said. The range of the station can be improved. Local programs can be added. One common question Henschel-Ventrello gets is people asking if they can have their own show.

certainly something like to start, she said. A morning show might be another addition. But for that you really need a studio space which they yet have, Henschel-Ventrello said. the tricky Henschel-Ventrello said that she currently programs the station on her computer, but her long-term goal is to have a physical studio space. After that, want the community to take it said Henschel-Ventrello.

During a public forum March 29, Verizon repre- sentatives said the carrier has received city permits to roll out 24 small cells at sites on Franklin, Coombs, Jefferson and Greenbach streets, as well as Old Sonoma and Browns Val- ley roads and Cabot Way. The company, like other carriers, has described the wider use of the compact transmitters as a response to growing and data-in- tensive use of smartphones and tablets to surf the In- ternet and share photos and video, rather than simply place voice calls and text messages.

Councilmembers are scheduled to discuss the city process for reviewing and regulating small cells, although federal and state laws limit the oversight by local governments of wire- less communications. Federal law bars cities from outright bans of cel- lular equipment, but Napa officials have said Veri- small cells will re- quire city permits to allow the com- pany to run data and elec- trical lights to each trans- mitter. The permits also allow Napa to evaluate the size, shape, height and appearance, according to Eric Whan, deputy public works di- rector. Turnout was light at March forum, but included some resi- dents determined to op- pose new transmitters in their neighborhood be- cause of their fears of ra- dio-frequency radiation they assert increases the risk of cancer. (The Amer- ican Cancer Society de- scribes such fears as un- proven, although studies continue.) A 1996 federal law for- bids states and local gov- ernments from restricting any wireless service for environmental reasons, so long as the system meets radio emission limits set by the Federal Communi- cations Commission.

Also Tuesday, the City Council will receive a re- port on the Napa hotel industry that indi- cates continued strength of tourist demand. The study, compiled jointly by Cushman Wakefiled and BAE Urban Economics, reports lodg- ing demand that has risen nearly every month since 2010, with the exceptions of the aftermath of the 2014 earthquake and the North Bay wildfires last October. During the time, occupancy levels in county lodgings increased from 61 percent in 2010, in the wake of the Great Reces- sion, to 71 percent last year.
