The monument will be donated and installed by the Military Family Support Group of Tehama County. By ANDREA WAGNER DN Staff Writer Honoring Tehama County mili- tary from the Gulf War Era, sup- porters are planning to install a monument outside the county administration building on Oak Street. Presenting design drawings and plans to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday, Military Family Support Group of Tehama County chairman Bob Chaney proposed to donate the monument and labor costs to install it. The project would be at no cost to the public. The board voted unanimously to accept the donation. The monument, a pedestal esti- mated at 10 feet wide and up to 4 feet deep, will be installed at the northwest corner of the lawn at 727 Oak St. Designed to match the aesthetics of the Administration Building, the Governor signs 5 bills related to sex offenders SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown signed five bills into law Thursday affecting sexual predators, victims and others, including one intended to make it more difficult for offenders from other states to hide in California. One bill requires out- of-state sex offenders to register when they move to California. SB622 also will require the state Department of Justice to review out-of-state offenders' entire criminal records — not just their last crime — to determine if they must register as sex offenders. Sen. Ellen Corbett, D- San Leandro, said her bill will help authorities track sex offenders such as Phillip Garrido, who was convicted of rape in Neva- da and moved to Califor- nia after his release from prison. He was convicted earlier this year of kidnap- ing Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive for 18 years at his Antioch home. Another bill, SB179, closes a loophole in state law that lets some violent sexual predators avoid parole supervision when they are released into the community. Currently, sex offenders are consid- ered to be on parole even while they are incarcerat- ed in state mental hospi- tals undergoing evalua- tions after their release from prison. In some cases, the mental health commit- ments can last years. By the time they are done with treatment, their time on parole may have run out. The bill by Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, will start the parole clock ticking only after inmates are released from the mental hospital back into the community. ''This is a public safety no-brainer,'' Pavley said in a statement. A third bill, SB534, also by Corbett, brings California into compli- ance with federal law by certifying that sexual assault victims can receive free medical exams. The bill makes the state eligible for more 7 5 8 5 5 1 6 9 0 0 1 9 See BILLS, page 9A monument will be covered in gran- ite tiles engraved with the names and branches of service of soldiers.

Corning Police were sent at 11:22 a.m. to Lin- coln Avenue after it was reported that two men in a blue pickup with black plywood panels were removing a dryer from a residence. At the time it was not known whether the owner, Brenda Thompson, 50, of Corning, had given the men permission to take the dryer or it had been stolen, since the owner was not home, said Sgt. Don Atkins in a release. Witnesses told police the two men, who had left the area prior to officer arrival, had been going around the area in search of scrap metal. At 3:24 p.m., officers made contact with Thompson who said she had not given the men permission to take the dryer. A few hours later, one See LINT, page 9A Driver offers maximum instruction Special to the DN Monster truck driver Tom Meents paid a visit to Reeds Creek School Thurs- day to speak with the stu- dents about setting goals, following dreams and mak- ing good choices. Meents, 44, has been driving monster trucks for 20 years. "I'm living my dream," he said. "I never knew how I'd get here, how I'd pay for my own truck or make a living at it, but I knew in my heart that I wanted it more than anything. I didn't let anything stand in my way, and I achieved my goal, just like all of you can if you work for it." Meents traveled from his home in Illinois to New Jersey two weeks ago, then to Holland last weekend and now to Red Bluff to race tonight through Sun- day. "We have 3-trucks that all look the same, and we take them all over the world," he said. One is at home in Illi- nois, another in Holland, and my newest truck, this one, is less than a year old." Meents' truck, Maxi- mum Destruction, is a futuristic SUV designed by Hot Wheels and valued at more than $100,000. Much of the cost is in the engine, a 520 cubic inch Chevrolet, which runs on alcohol and creates more than 1,500 See DRIVER, page 9A TEHAMA COUNTY GLASS MOULE'S WINDOWS BROKEN FOGGED NEW WE DO GLASS 515 Sycamore St. 529-0260 Courtesy photo Unemployed due to a closure or major layoff?

See FATAL, page 9A Man arrested after bout with cops A sheriff's deputy used a baton and stun gun to arrest a 45-year-old man Wednesday evening following a neighborhood dispute in Tehama. A woman called law enforcement at about 6:30 p.m. when a neighbor threw a glass over a fence onto her property, where it shattered, according to sheriff's logs. She told deputies that she had ongoing issues with the neighbor in the 300 block of F Street. Deputies responded and during the investigation tried to detain Adam Hohstadt, of Tehama, said a sher- iff's press release. See BOUT, page 9A
