Fair FROMPAGE1 The American Red Cross urges residents to take cau- tionary measures in rec- ognizing heat-related ill- nesses. Heat cramps: Get the person to a cooler place and have him or her rest in a comfortable position. Lightly stretch the affected muscle and replenish fluids. Give a half glass of cool wa- ter every 15 minutes. Do not give liquids with alcohol or caffeine in them as they can make conditions worse. Heat exhaustion: Get the person out of the heat and into a cooler place. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths. If the person is conscious, give cool water to drink. Give a half glass of water every 15 minutes. Let victim rest in a comfortable position, and watch carefully for changes in his or her condition. Heat stroke: Heat stroke is a life threatening condi- tion and help is needed fast. Call 911 or your local emer- gency number. Move the person to a cooler place. Quickly cool the body by immersing the victim in a cool bath or wrap the vic- tim in wet sheets while fan- ning him or her. Watch for signals of breathing prob- lems and keep the person lying down while continu- ing to cool them any way you can. If the victim re- fuses water, is vomiting or there are changes in level of consciousness, do not give anything to eat or drink.

Elderly,kidsatrisk The California Office of Traffic Safety warns that ex- treme heat can cause heat- stroke in children, pets and the elderly when left in cars. Heatstroke is a leading cause of non crash, vehi- cle-related deaths in young children. With tempera- tures spiking this week, the OTS is cautioning parents and caregivers of young children, plus anyone trans- porting pets or the elderly, that leaving them in a hot car, even for a few minutes, can have fatal or irrevoca- ble consequences. The temperature inside a car can rise up to 50 de- grees in an hour. At 80 de- grees outside temperature, a car interior can heat to 100 degrees in as little as 20 minutes. At 105 degrees outside temperature, that same 20 minutes can bring the interior more than 130 degrees. It doesn't take long for the heat to affect a defense- less body. Children's bodies are more quickly and se- verely affected by high tem- peratures, allowing their bodies to heat three to five times faster. Pets and the el- derly also are particularly vulnerable. Between 1998 and 2014, a total of 636 children lost their lives as a result of ex- periencing heatstroke in hot vehicles, including an additional 11 so far in 2015. A 3-year-old in Pomona died in June, when the out- side temperatures never even reached 90 degrees. Heatstroke death and injuries often occur af- ter a child gets into an un- locked vehicle to play with- out a parent or caregiver's knowledge. Other incidents can occur when there is a change of routine or con- fusion between parents or caregivers, unintentionally not noticing a sleeping child in the back seat of the ve- hicle. Never leave a child unat- tended in a vehicle; even if the windows are partially open or the engine is run- ning and the air condition- ing is on. Make a habit of looking in the vehicle — front and back — before locking the door and walking away. Do things that serve as a reminder that a child is in the vehicle, such as placing a phone, purse or wallet in the back seat with the child, or writing a note or using a stuffed animal placed in the driver's view to indicate a child is in the car seat. Teach children that a ve- hicle is not a play area. Store keys out of a child's reach. Keep empty cars locked. Community members who see a child alone in a hot vehicle are urged to im- mediately call 911 or the lo- cal emergency number. Heat wave FROM PAGE 1 The ordinance splits properties into three time periods of Era I referenc- ing all properties divided pre-1929, Era II from 1929 to March 4, 1972 and Era III March 4, 1972 to present. Under Era I, the proposed parcel identification proce- dure is to consider a parcel able to be bought and sold if it was created by a govern- ment conveyance or patent or if there was a deed ex- ecuted and recorded prior to March 4, 1972 and it is not prohibited by a govern- ment code or ordinance. If it has been leased, financed or sold since then it is el- igible for the certificate of compliance. For Era II, all parcels cre- ated using maps filed at the Tehama County Clerk and Recorder's Office filed from 1929 to March 4, 1972 are valid and lot line adjust- ments between two sepa- rate property owners are recognizable provided they have supporting deeds or recorded certificates of compliance. Under Era III, proper- ties created from an ap- proved and recorded minor or major land division after March 4, 1972 are convey- able as are parcels approved and permitted for develop- ment such as buildings, well and septic. The proposed ordinance designates the Planning Director as the person who will issue certificates of compliance. It includes a list of which properties are not required to get a certif- icate. Owners of these prop- erties may get an uncondi- tional certificate upon re- quest. Planning Director Sean Moore said the ordinance is only a draft, but includes the majority of the elements brought to the county's at- tention by a citizen's com- mittee, which has been working with the county during the two-year pro- cess. "This is a conveyable property issue and we're trying to give people some certainty," Moore said. "I'd like to thank the citizens on the ad-hoc committee. We're working to provide a streamline process of what is required (for a legal par- cel) and what is required for an unconditional certificate of compliance." The staff recommenda- tion is to waive the fee for the certificate for the time being and to re-visit it in a year, he said. Real estate and planning consultants including Fred Ehrensvard, Bill Jourdan, John Stoufer and George Robson spoke to the issue and the fact that it was still in need of revision before it was finalized. "Our job in real estate is to simplify and clarify for people," Ehrensvard said. "From hundreds of pages years ago to three shows progress toward cleaning things up. What is at stake though is the loss of hun- dreds of millions of dollars. The county can't afford to lose hundreds of millions of dollars." Being a smaller county, Tehama can be flexible and work to try and get it right this time around, Ehrens- vard said. One area of concern for Robson and Jourdan was the recognition or lack of recognition for those houses built before 1929 and those that came after. Robson said he wanted to know what the motive was for not recognizing those parcels that weren't recog- nized. "This ordinance is a good step," said Jourdan, who is president of Northern Cali- fornia Title. "It's a good col- laboration. One of the big- gest concerns is the pre- 1929 maps ... Either way (recognized or not) there's going to be liability. There needs to be standards for dealing with pre-1929 maps. There needs to be fair bal- ance with the county tak- ing the middle of the road. It's going to be a challenge, but we do need to come up with standards." Subdivisions such as the Maywood Colony in Corn- ing, Los Molinos and El Camino are affected by what is decided regarding pre-1929 maps, Jourdan said. Stoufer spoke to a sit- uation in which a man bought a 20 acre parcel in El Camino in the 1990s and wants to leave it to his grandsons as two 10-acre parcels, but at present he cannot. "This ordinance touches the iceberg," Stoufer said. "This is going to affect hun- dreds of thousands of par- cels in Tehama County and millions of dollars. ... The law has not changed, but the interpretation of it has changed. I call them bad po- litical decisions and it's not fair to the gentleman who worked hard all his life to not be able to leave the two parcels to his grandsons."

DEATH NOTICE Staff report RED BLUFF A fire reported at 6:42 p.m. Monday in the Palm Royale Apartments, 705 Kimball Road, displaced at least one family in a four- plex and temporarily closed the 700 block of Kimball. All displaced persons were moved into another unit at the apartment com- plex, Red Bluff Fire Chief Ray Barber said. The cause of the fire was electrical and determined to be the result of faulty electrical wiring. Red Bluff Fire, Cal Fire and Tehama County Fire responded to the incident with the first unit at scene reporting smoke showing from the attic vent. An in- terior search located the smoke origin, which was found in the attic space above a back bedroom. Firefighters pulled the ceiling down to locate the entire fire, and contained the firetotheatticunitabovethe bedroom, Barber said. The fire was contained in about 20 minutes, with extinguish- ment taking about an hour. The eastbound side of Kim- ball Road was blocked dur- ing the incident. KIMBALL ROAD Family displaced by electrical fire PHOTO COURTESY OF ROSS PALUBESKI Firefighters respond to an electrical-caused fire about 6:45p.m. Monday in the Palm Royale Apartments, 705 Kimball Road. The work on the build- ing has been divided into a basic scope of what needs to be done and an enhanced scope of future plans, which can be done as funding is available. An entry plaza will be constructed in the front of the building and even- tually it is hoped to have an outdoor learning quad that can be utilized by the community. The proxim- ity to the Shasta College Tehama Campus allows the potential for the col- lege to utilized the facil- ity. The interior of the build- ing will see a service desk down the center so em- ployees have a direct site line with the entrance and each section to allow staff to engage with all areas of the library. There will be an area for storytelling, a children's area and a section for a study center and meeting rooms. Eventually the goal is to include a county ar- chives area. Construction is set to begin in July 2016 with expected occupancy to take place in June 2017. In the meantime, community members can view the ini- tial report in an attach- ment on the supervisor's agenda at www.co.tehama. ca.us. The library will be kicking off the fundrais- ing campaign soon and have information posted on www.tehamacoun- tylibrary.org. Donations are always welcome and checks made out to the Te- hama County Library can be mailed to 645 Madison St., Red Bluff.

Obituaries ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THE PASSING PARADE (FrommyISayofMay1966) As you may recall, we have phased out our hog and sheep slaughter at the plant but still able to supply the finished product in back hauls from the bay area. Recently we found a better pork supply from the Midwest, and have been receiving product from the Iowa Corn Belt for some time now. However, we have found that it takes longer for the truckers to go from Iowa than it does from L.A. where our alternate supplier is located, a shorter distance. Why is that? Because the long haul truckers do not have to pass through Winnemucca, Nevada when coming from L.A. The truckers, often away from home for days at a stretch…and usually in the full bloom of manhood, apparently find the temptations in Winnemucca too much to overcome. The temptation comes in the form of gambling…or from houses of ill repute. Operators of said houses encourage truck drivers to sleep over…and consequently we get our supply of pork, late. Three of our management staff, Bob Shirley, Merle duJardin and Wendell Stringfellow, are working diligently to solve the late delivery problem, but, so far, their suggestions are not suitable for publishing in a family newspaper. (As a result of this column, amid complaints from wives of some of our truck drivers, I was forced to write a disclaimer the following week.) "Clarification time: Last week, perhaps I gave the wrong impression that our own truck drivers were stopping at those houses of ill repute in Winnemucca, Nevada. Of course that is not true. The lusty souls delivering pork to us from Iowa are commercial freight haulers from the mid-west. We don't schedule our drivers that far from home. Oh, San Francisco and Los Angeles, yes, but not far off in the Nevada plains. Besides, our drivers are all good family men…all of impeachable character, and, if you thinkest I protest too much, I think we should drop the subject. … Recent crop reports indicate the top fruit and nut crops, in order of production, are Olives, Prunes, Walnuts,Almonds and Peaches. Nothing new there. … We had a government employee at the plant years ago, a doctor Bissell. He was a Veterinarian who worked as a meat inspector on the kill floor. He was also a Chiropractor with some interesting theories. For one, he believed that when his children were misbehaving, they needed to have their necks cracked…adjusted. This might be a questionable solution, but after their adjustment, they did tend to be better behaved. He also got on a health kick one time, bought a lug box of dried apricots…and had his family consume the whole box before going back to more conventional meals. If he would have selected prunes, for example, I could have more readily understood his reasoning. … 66 members of the RBUHS band are in need of new uniforms. Donations of green to match their uniforms would be greatly appreciated. Robert Minch WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 2015 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM | NEWS | 9 A
