California's winter keeps getting wetter as the first in the latest round of storms moves ashore, bringing heavy rain and powerful winds. wanted to update you on the elevation of the Sacramento River. It is scheduled to peak (in Red Bluff) at 254.2 feet by 4 p.m. (Tuesday), which is fairly high as you can see as you drive through town. With the river up, it will cause the tributaries to also slow down and back up with all the water that is coming infromthosedirections.The river at 10 p.m. Thursday is goingtoprettymuchhitthat same level so it's going to be up and down and back up again." TheNationalWeatherSer- vice has issued a flood warn- ing for Tehama County that lasts into Saturday with rain expectedWednesday,Thurs- day and Friday in which the Sacramento River at Red Bluff below the Diversion Dam, the Tehama Bridge, Woodson Bridge and Bend bridge are all mentioned as places that could flood. The level at Tehama Bridge is expected to reach 216.9 feet by 7 p.m. Tuesday and up to 218.2 feet about 11 p.m. Thursday with the level at Woodson Bridge ex- pected to be at 186.2 by 9 p.m. Tuesday and 186.8 by Friday.Thelevelatthebridge at Bend is expected to be at 26.1 Wednesday with expec- tations that the same water level will be peak by 7 p.m. Thursday, Antone said. "We're closely watching (Tehama Bridge) and I'm sure the folks in Tehama are watching that as well," Antone said. "At that range Woodson is expected to hit we're at the range where it could put water onto South Avenue." In regards to the levees, Elder Creek was expected to peak at 8.8 feet Tuesday and be fine the remainder of the week since the wa- ter should recede, however, there is some concern re- garding the Deer Creek le- vee, Antone said. "We're going to see a lit- tle more severe action than it has been," Antone said. "It's supposed to be 10.6 feet (Tuesday), go up Wednes- day and Thursday could peak out potentially at 12.2 feet, which will cause some over topping in a few areas in some orchards and ag ar- eas. As far as we can tell, we don't have any homes in the way that's it's going to be an issue. I will note that the last storm we had that we just barely contained in the Deer Creek Levee system was at 11.5 so this is almost a foot higher. Ideally, Satur- day will have sunshine and dry things out, but I wanted to let you know we're watch- ing.

FEMAoffersthefollowing flood safety tips: Do not walk through flow- ingwater:Sixinchesofwater can knock you off your feet. Drowning is a major cause of flood deaths. Most of these drowning deaths occur dur- ing flash floods. Use a pole or stick to make sure that the ground is still there before yougothroughanareawhere the water is not flowing. Do not drive through a flooded area: More people drown in their cars than anywhere else. If you come upon a road barrier, turn around and go another way; the road or bridge may be washed out. Stay away from power lines: Electrocution is also a major killer in floods. Elec- trical current can travel through water. Report downed power lines to our utility company or emer- gency manager.

Fritzell, age 95, entered Heaven's gates on January 28th 2017 in San Jose, Ca in the comforting pres- ence of her family. A native of California, Eleanor lived most of her life in Red Bluff, where she lovingly raised her family, actively contributed to her community in various clubs and civic organizations and faithfully served her church. Early childhood hardships and adult challenges created a wom- an of sustaining strength with powerful survival skills and a strong protective character which would continue throughout her life. Eleanor was the devoted wife of Dr. Lloyd Fritzell, a prominent dentist, civic leader and passionate golfer until his death in 1967. Sadly, she was predeceased by her precious son, Eddie in 1956 and her beloved daughter, Roberta Skinner in 2016. Eleanor is survived by her daughter Ellie Krail (blended daughters Karen, Jane, and Nancy), grandchildren Mark (Lisa) Krail, Kelly (Krzysz) Adamkiewicz, great grandchildren Kevin, Courtney, Mat- thew, and Ryan. For years Eleanor found a home at Jones Jewelers sub- sequently established her own gift shop, "Eleanor's" and ultimately retired from Ehorn's Photography in her 80's. Eleanor was a remarkable woman, cherished by so many who claimed her as friend, sister, Mom, or gramma. She treasured each as a blessing, never met a stranger and knew no enemies. An elegant lady with grace, charm, and unlimited desire, she embraced her family, friends, home and community. She was rich in spiritual and emotional connections flowing from a heart of com- passion and inclusion and a smile that exuded love and touched so many. She never forgot a birthday, anniversa- ry, or special occasion. She had an avid appetite for reading, travel, the arts, and being her personal best al- ways with a grateful heart and generous spirit she shared light, laughter and love. The family has unending gratitude for the tender, com- passionate love and care extended to Eleanor by the en- tire team of Hospice of the Valley of San Jose and the en- tire staff of Atria assisted Living in Willow Glen. A memorial service celebrating Eleanor's life is sched- uled for Sunday February 12, 2017, at 2:00pm. With view- ing that morning at Hoyt-Cole Chapel of the Flowers fu- neral home at 816 Walnut Street, Red Bluff, CA.

The place is newly done- up proper with a western motif. The old mahogany bar itself (formerly in Steve Meline's) is long enough to serve all the Owens boys shoulder to shoulder. The Saloon is located on the busy corner of Oak and Main where previously had been the L & M Cafe... and before that the Kennet Dam Cafe, the Senator Cafe... and before even that, Aunt Jen Crocker's. Anyhow, it is a popular location and should do well even without a hard liquor license. I understand that beer and wine still draw a crowd. I was thinking of stepping up to the bar and ordering a sarsaparilla but would probably be laughed out of the place. Mr. Frey is not your typical Irish barkeep. It is safe to say that he is not even of Irish extraction. But attributes of be- ing a good listener and conversationalist sit well with him. He enjoys discoursing, at length, how the world in general and the U.S. in particular is going to hell in a handbasket. Do People still have hand baskets? Russ is convinced that communist Russia is our ad- versary. However, he makes his pronouncements with an impish grin which is disconcerting and makes you wonder of the source of his information. The John Birch Society, I imagine. … February 2017 Russ Frey went to his reward several years ago. Regard- ing our axiom that one should envy no man until he has had a good death, Russ, unfortunately, did not qualify for such envy. Whereas he was a respected member of the community, a man of properties and freely gave of his time as a member of the Red Bluff City Council and the Tehama County Board of Supervisors, his latter years were �illed with loss and depression culminating in a lengthy stay at an assisted living facility and an increasing reluctance to meet and chat with old friends. I had known him since he was 5 years old and living with his father and mother on upper Main Street...this being before his mother aban- doned Russ and her husband and departed for a home in Mexico City that lasted for many years. That this could have led, in his latter years, to Russ's eventual desponden- cy and seclusion is pure speculation. Who knows what goes on in the minds of men and women? Few could have imagined that his �inal days would be as withdrawn as they turned out to be. Fortunately his son, Russ Jr. lovingly looked after him from his home in Southern California, and saw to it that his father remained in good physical, if not mental condi- tion, to the end of his days.
