The Ju- nior Spartan Junior Midget and Midget teams placed third in their division. Hundreds of teams competed in the event that took place from Jan. 20-22 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, said Cheer Coordi- nator Veronica Armstrong. "The girls were very excited go- ing in," Armstrong said. "While the nerves set in, so did excite- ment. Before their final warm-up the girls joined hands along with their coaches and were led in a "cheerleaders prayer" by their Trainer Lacey Zumalt. They took the stage with the attitude of 'let's have the time of our lives!'. They did and they knocked it out of the park." Lacey Zumalt, a 17-year-old junior at Red Bluff High School, RED BLUFF JR.

Washington Street Pro- ductions, a 30-day work pro- gram through a partnership between the Tehama County Department of Social Services and the Job Training Center, gives participants a chance to gain new work skills and put work experience on their re- sume while finding their cre- ative side. Work crews consist of up to 15 people per group. "Every year, we put out a call for exemplary programs that give the best possible ser- vice and this year we had 279 program submissions," Cate said. "We only had 12 Chal- lenge Awards given and judges based their decision on things like the quality of the program, innovation and is it a program AWARD TEHAMA COUNTY PROGRAM EARNS STATE RECOGNITION DN FILE PHOTO Program Supervisor Demetra Jones talks with a program participant about string art made at Washington Street Productions during one of the first open house events held in May 2016. By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Democrats in the California Senate ramped up their fight Tuesday against Pres- ident Donald Trump, advancing a bill that would provide state- wide sanctuary for immigrants by keeping local law enforcement from cooperating with federal im- migration authorities. The move in the nation's largest state — home to an estimated 2.3 million immigrants without legal authorization — came days after Trump launched a crackdown on immigration and sanctuary cities across the nation. The state Senate Public Safety Committee approved the mea- sure with a 5-2 party-line vote af- ter Trump signed an order threat- ening to withdraw some federal grants from sanctuary cities. "We want to make sure that po- lice officers don't abandon their beat and go enforce immigration laws," said Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon of Los Ange- les, the author of the measure. Republicans and law enforce- ment groups said the bill would make it harder for law officers to work together to fight crime. "I think this bill is making it that much more difficult for the federal authorities to get the most dangerous criminals that we want to deport to keep our communi- ties safe," said Sen. Jeff Stone, a Temecula Republican who voted against the measure. Some Republicans have criti- cized the Democratic reaction to Trump's policies, saying bombas- tic rhetoric and provocative legis- lation will inflame tensions with the president and harm Califor- nia. Many of California's largest cit- ies — including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento — al- ready have sanctuary policies that prohibit police from cooperating with immigration authorities. SB54 would extend those poli- cies statewide, prohibiting police officers and jailers from arrest- ing or detaining people solely for immigration violations unless a judge issues a warrant. State and local law enforcement agencies could not help investigate immi- gration violations, inquire about someone's immigration status or provide addresses to immigration officers. Law enforcement databases would be off limits for immigra- tion investigations, though police STATE Lawmakers eye statewide immigration sanctuary Staff report RANCHO TEHAMA Monday Te- hama County Sheriff's were dis- patched at 10:14 a.m. Monday to Rancho Tehama Reserve for re- ports of an attempted carjack- ing with a weapon, resulting in two Corning men dead. When deputies arrived at the west end of Rancho Tehama Road they found a residence where witnesses reported a home invasion robbery had been attempted, according a press re- lease issued late Tuesday after- noon by the Tehama County Sheriff's Department. The inci- dent was related to the reports of the carjacking. The first deceased man, who was found laying in the front yard of a residence in the area near Black Ranch, was identi- fied as Moises Salgado Farias, 38. At about 10:30 a.m., deputies were dispatched to the Chevron station in Corning at the inter- section of Solano Street and 99W to the report of a second gunshot victim walking into the business and collapsing as a result of his injuries, accord- ing to the release. He was trans- ported to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, where medical staff pronounced him dead. The second man was identi- fied as Hispanic but no further details were released pending positive identification and fam- ily notification. During the initial examina- tion of the residence and af- ter talking with witnesses, ev- idence was found to support several shots being fired from within the residence and Far- ias' wounds consistent with be- ing shot, the release said. An extensive area search for the male residents of the Ran- cho Tehama Road home, who are being sought for questioning about the shooting, has been un- derway since and as of yet their whereabouts are unknown, ac- cording to the release.
