Every year, the department collects food and toys to give to needy families within city lim- its and last year the group was abletoprovideChristmasfor69 families, he said. Those apply- ing need to have a federally rec- ognized identification card and something such as a PG&E bill withtheiraddressonittoprove they are within city limits. "The volunteers truly look forward to this time of year and enjoy the feeling of giving something back to their com- munity," Spannaus said. Those wishing to donate have until Dec. 14 to get items to the volunteers and can drop things off between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and the public is invited to come to the community wrap- ping party to help wrap the presents at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 15 at the fire hall. "It really is a community ef- fort," Spannaus said. "The ca- sino, the other businesses and the entire community help to make it happened." The entire operation is spon- sored in part by the raffle tick- ets for sale by all members of the department for $5 each. The raffle is something that evolved out of the annual Fire- man's ball, which slowly saw attendance dropping over the years. Ticket sales remained steady, but since attendance was not what it once was, the firemen decided to hold a raf- fle instead so the community would receive something in re- turn, Spannaus said. Raffle prizes include a 12 gauge Remington shotgun do- nated by McCoy's Ace Hard- ware, a spray-in bed liner for a pickup, two $100 Sav mor gift cardsandone$100giftcardfor Northern Lights, For more in- formation call the department at 824-7044. CORNING VolunteerFireDepartment collects toys, food for Christmas By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Kelly-Griggs House Museum hosted its an- nual Christmas Gala Saturday giving people the chance to see the 1880's Victorian built by Sid- ney Allen Griggs dressed up in holiday decor including a center- piece made just for the event by Kate Gleim of House of Design. "It's a fun chance for people to see the house, bring their friends to see it, visit with each other and see what we're doing and what's been done since they last came," said Association President Betty Brown. Tom Alexander of Red Bluff has been coming to the house for about 20 years dating back to when his parents friend's Bea and Bob Grootveld lived across the street from the museum and brought them on private tours of the building, he said. FUNDRAISER Kelly-Griggs Museum holds Ch ri st ma s Ga la By Paul Elias The Associated Press OAKLAND As crews searched the Oakland warehouse for more bodies, the founder of the arts collective stood near the gutted building Tuesday morning and said he was "incredibly sorry" and that everything he did was to bring people together. The death toll remains at 36, with officials saying early Tues- day that no additional bodies have been recovered. Alameda County Sheriff's Dep- uty Tya Modeste said of the 36 victims found, 26 of their fami- lies have been notified. Another nine bodies have been "tenta- tively identified," she said. Offi- cials are still lacking any type of identity for one individual. The fire erupted Friday night during a dance party at the warehouse that had been con- verted to artists' studios and il- legal living spaces. The Bureau of Alcohol, To- bacco, Firearms and Explosives AFTERMATH Oakland warehouse fire death toll stands at 36 By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Proposition 64, or the legalization of marijuana, passed with 57.05 percent of the state votes in the general election al- lowing adult Californians to le- gally consume marijuana for per- sonal use. Local government how- ever, still has control over the use within city-limits with ordinances passedinthebeginningoftheyear. Currently, all marijuana dis- pensaries and cultivation, indoor and outdoor, are banned within the Red Bluff, said Richard Crab- tree, Red Bluff city manager. Un- der Proposition 64, citizens may cultivate up to six plants per res- idence, indoors, for personal use. The city may continue to ban all outdoor cultivation as well as dispensaries. City staff is working on some proposed city code modifications to allow the indoor cultivation of up to six plants, consistent with Proposition 64, Crabtree said. These will first be presented to the Red Bluff Planning Commis- sion for their recommendation and then will move on to the city council early next year. On December 29, 2015, The planning commission recom- mended the approval of the ordi- nance which imposed an express ban on marijuana cultivation, processing, delivery and dispen- sary activities within city limits. The city council adopted the or- dinance on Jan. 5 with a four to one vote. California cities and counties were given until March 1 to enact local legislation regulating mari- juana use in their communities, said Scott Friend, community de- velopment director, at the Decem- ber 2015 meeting. Since the dead- line was met the city is allowed to regulate medical marijuana at the local level. The city has the control to change the ordinance, if needed, at any time. As a result of passage of prop 64, Corning will also have to amend its marijuana ordinance to allow up to six plants indoors per residence, said Kristina Miller, Corning city manager. Other changes to the ordinance may also need to be made.
