The 10-year-old Antelope El- ementary School student knows first hand how hard it is to have loved ones gone for the holidays and Christmas will be difficult for those families of the 649th Cali- fornia National Guard, which de- ployed in November to the Middle East. The project will supply full Christmas meal baskets and give a toy to every child of the unit in Tehama, Shasta and Butte coun- ties.

But the mystery over what happened to her during those 22 days just seemed to grow stranger. She was battered and bruised, her hands were chained, her long blond hair had been chopped off, and her flesh had been branded with a threatening message. The 34-year-old Papini told authori- ties that she had been kidnapped at gunpoint by two women Nov. 2 while she was out for a run near her home. The bizarre turn of events — with many of the most sensa- tional details released not by au- thorities but by her husband in an exclusive interview with ABC — has baffled police and set so- cial media aflutter, with arm- chair detectives scouring the in- ternet's darkest corners for clues and others arguing that the case is some kind of twisted hoax, like REDDING Kidnap case baffles cops By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Downtown Red Bluff parking limits have been changed, converting 54 two-hour parking spaces to all-day parking to accommodate businesses and customers alike. The Downtown Red Bluff Business Association requested the modification to the existing downtown parking time limits at the Oct. 4 City Council meeting. The ordinance updates the fine amount as well to reflect park- ing fines of $36 per violation in- stead of $25. The parking limits have changed on Pine Street between Main and Rio streets in the center divider to all-day parking. On Hickory Street between Main and Rio, spaces have changed on both sides from the alley east, between Washington and Main streets on all of the south side and half of the north side and between Jefferson and Washington on the south side to all-day parking. Spaces on Washington Street between Walnut and Hickory have changed on the north half of the block on both sides to all-day. An exception is two 20-minute spaces on the west side of Wash- ington in front of Overland Post. Signs will remain posted at two-hour parking until the streets department is able to change them out. This is a busy time of year for the streets department, said City Manager Richard Crabtree. It may be a few months before all of the parking limit signs are changed out. However, no two-hour vio- lation citations will be issued for those parking spots changed to 24-hour parking by the recent or- dinance. The modification was the asso- ciation's solution to get more peo- ple shopping downtown for lon- ger, said Councilwoman Daniele Jackson. The proposal letter from the association states, "With the re- cent increase in enforcement of the two-hour parking zones, it was brought to our attention that some of the two-hour parking zones have a disproportionately adverse impact on certain down- town businesses.

By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The third annual Strikes For Strays end of year bowling fundraiser was held Fri- day at Lariat Bowl, put on by Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter, or PETS. Strikes for Strays benefits the homeless animals in Tehama County and more specifically funds the Home For the Holidays adoption event. The organization hopes to raise more than last year's $5,000, said Samantha Haman, PETS board member. Red Bluff resident Nancy Jen- nings said she enjoys going to fun- draising events during the holi- day season. She likes to show her granddaughter that there is more to Christmas than receiving gifts. Giving back to the community and participating in events like Strikes for Strays is one way she shows her. Home for the Holidays will be held Dec. 15-17 at the Tehama County Animal Care Center, 1830 Walnut St., which is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except for noon to 1 p.m. The price to adopt a pet will be reduced during this event. A festive Christmas elf will be at the adoption event this year to greet guests. Throughout the three-day event hot-cocoa and cookies will be served. New pet owners, who adopt a pet during the event, will get a stocking full of treats, toys and other pet goodies for their pet to enjoy, Haman said. The PETS organization has been able to get pets prepared for adoption by holding fundrais- ers throughout the year and with help from various sponsors. Haman said the group couldn't do what it does without the help FUNDRAISER Bo wl in g ev en t su pp or ts local animal adoptions PARKING PAGE 7 BOWLING PAGE 7 GIRL PAGE 7 KIDNAP PAGE 7 D Dow Jones Industrial 19,170.42 (-21.51) U Standard & Poor's 2191.95 (+0.87) U Nasdaq 5255.65 (+4.54) BUSINESS 530-366-3166 www.redbluffdodge.com 545 Adobe Rd., Red Bluff » redbluffdailynews.com Saturday, December 3, 2016 $1.00 AN EDITION OF THE CHICO ENTERPRISE-RECORD Calendar..........A2 Community.....A3 Opinion............A6 Lifestyles........A4 Farm ................A5 Sports..............
