$30,000. Tanner was booked on the charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. Bail was set at $1,000. While an officer was responding to assist with the stolen vehicle, several residents flagged the offi- cer down to report a man wearing a motorcycle run- ning from Walmart at the same time the other of- ficers were contacting Wood and Tanner. Officers made contact with Daniel William Har- rington, 33, who was in- side Raley's and admitted to having been inside the stolen vehicle. Harrington told offi- cers he had been dropped off at Walmart, where he stole a motorcycle helmet, and upon exiting the store with stolen property saw the officers near the sto- len vehicle and fled the area. Harrington was ar- rested for an outstanding warrant and charges were filed with the District At- torney's Office. A Red Bluff Police spokesman said the sto- len vehicle, a Subaru se- dan, was taken from Cot- tonwood while parked inside a garage with the garage door open, accord- ing to the victim. Stolen FROMPAGE1 By Errin Haines Whack TheAssociatedPress PHILADELPHIA The heart of Philadelphia's Italian Market was uncommonly quiet. Fine restaurants in New York, San Fran- cisco and the nation's capi- tal closed for the day. Gro- cery stores, food trucks, cof- fee shops, diners and taco joints in places like Chi- cago, Los Angeles and Bos- ton shut down. Immigrants around the U.S. stayed home from work and school Thursday to demonstrate how impor- tant they are to America's economy, and many busi- nesses closed in solidar- ity, in a nationwide protest called A Day Without Immi- grants. The boycott was aimed squarely at President Don- ald Trump's efforts to step up deportations, build a wall at the Mexican border and close the nation's doors to many travelers. Organiz- ers said they expected thou- sands to participate or oth- erwise show support. "I fear every day whether I am going to make it back home. I don't know if my mom will make it home," said Hessel Duarte, a 17-year-old native of Hon- duras who lives in Austin, Texas, with his family and skipped class at his high school to take part in one of several rallies held around the country. Duarte said he arrived in the U.S. at age 5 to escape gang violence. The protest even reached into the U.S. Capitol, where a Senate coffee shop was among the eateries that were closed as employees did not show up at work. Organizers appealed to immigrants from all walks of life to take part, but the effects were felt most strongly in the restaurant industry, which has long been a first step up the eco- nomic ladder for newcom- ers to America with its many jobs for cooks, dish- washers and servers. Res- taurant owners with im- migrant roots of their own were among those acting in solidarity with workers. Expensive restaurants and fast-food joints alike closed, some perhaps be- cause they had no choice, others because of what they said was sympathy for their immigrant employ- ees. Sushi bars, Brazilian steakhouses, Mexican eat- eries and Thai and Italian restaurants all turned away lunchtime customers. "The really important dy- namic to note is this is not antagonistic, employee- against-employer," said Ja- net Murguia, president of the Hispanic rights group National Council of La Raza. "This is employers and workers standing to- gether, not in conflict." She added: "Businesses cannot function without immigrant workers today." At a White House news conference held as the lunch-hour protests un- folded, Trump boasted of his border security mea- sures and immigration ar- rests of hundreds of people in the past week, saying, "We are saving lives every single day." Since the end of 2007, the number of foreign-born workers employed in the U.S. has climbed by nearly 3.1 million to 25.9 million; they account for 56 percent of the increase in U.S. em- ployment over that period, according to the Labor De- partment. Roughly 12 million peo- ple are employed in the res- taurant industry, and immi- grants make up the major- ity — up to 70 percent in places like New York and Chicago, according to the Restaurant Opportuni- ties Centers United, which works to improve working conditions. An estimated 1.3 million in the industry are immigrants in the U.S. illegally, the group said. The construction indus- try, which likewise employs large numbers of immi- grants, also felt the effects of Thursday's protest. Shea Frederick, who owns a small construction company in Baltimore, showed up at 7 a.m. at a home he is renovating and found that he was all alone, with a load of drywall ready for install. He soon under- stood why: His crew, five immigrants, called to say they weren't coming to work. They were joining the protests. "I had an entire day of full work," he said. "I have inspectors lined up to in- spect the place, and now they're thrown off, and you do it the day before the weekend and it pushes things off even more. It sucks, but it's understand- able." Frederick said that while he fundamentally agrees with the action, and appre- ciates why his crew felt the need to participate, he feels his business is being made to suffer as a result of the president's policies. "It's hurting the wrong people," he said. "A gigan- tic part of this state didn't vote this person in, and we're paying for his terri- ble decisions." There were no immedi- ate estimates of how many students stayed home in various cities. Many stu- dent absences may not be excused, and some people who skipped work will lose a day's pay or perhaps even their jobs. But organizers and participants argued the cause was worth it. Marcela Ardaya-Vargas, who is from Bolivia and now lives in Falls Church, Virginia, pulled her son out of school to take him to a march in Washington. "When he asked why he wasn't going to school, I told him because today he was going to learn about immigration," she said, adding: "Our job as citizens is to unite with our brothers and sisters." Carmen Solis, a Mexico- born U.S. citizen, took the day off from work as a proj- ect manager and brought her two children to a rally in Chicago. "I feel like our commu- nity is going to be racially profiled and harassed," she said of Trump's immigra- tion policies. "It's very up- setting. People like to take out their anger on the im- migrants, but employers are making profits off of them. " On Ninth Street in South Philadelphia's Italian Mar- ket, it was so quiet in the morning that Rani Va- sudeva thought it might be Monday, when many of the businesses on the normally bustling stretch are closed. Produce stands and other stalls along "Calle Nueve" — as 9th Street is more commonly known for its abundance of Mexican- owned businesses — stood empty, leaving customers to look elsewhere for fresh meat, bread, fruits and veg- etables. "It's actually very sad," said Vasudeva, a 38-year- old professor at Temple University. "You realize the impact the immigrant community has. We need each other for our daily lives." In New Orleans' Mid- City neighborhood, whose Latino population swelled after the damage wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 created lots of jobs for construction work- ers, the Ideal Market was closed. The place is usually busy at midday with people lining up at the steam ta- bles for hot lunches or pick- ing from an array of fresh Central American vegeta- bles and fruits. In Chicago, Pete's Fresh Market closed five of its 12 grocery stores and assured employees they would not be penalized for skipping the day, according to owner Vanessa Dremonas, whose Greek-immigrant father started the company. BOYCOTT Pr ot es t cl os es r es ta ur an ts i n US to officer arrival. As officers began an area check look- ing for the suspects, they were called back to the store due to the suspects returning and reportedly starting another alterca- tion. A lone officer found an argument occurring between Santana and a man and woman with a man, later identified as Lopez, also in the park- ing lot holding a hand- gun in plain view of the officer. Lopez refused the com- mand to drop his weapon and ran off, still armed with the handgun, at which point Santana left in the Nissan. Police continued to search the area, locating the two men about 2 a.m. during the traffic stop.

In an action called "A Day Without Immigrants", immigrants across the country are expected to stay home from school and work on Thursday to show how critical they are to the U.S. economy and way of life. CHARLES REX ARBOGAST — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Protesters participate in a march aimed squarely at President Donald Trump's efforts to crack down on immigration Thursday in Chicago. Immigrants around the country have been staying home from work and school today, hoping to demonstrate their importance to America's economy and its way of life. CLAUDIA TORRENS — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A sign at Don Paco Panaderia in East Harlem says the business is closed today in support of a "day without immigrants" in the East Harlem neighborhood of New York, on Thursday. The shop was participating in the boycott called A Day Without Immigrants, aimed squarely at President Donald Trump's efforts to crack down on immigration. one of America's other largest dams, Glen Can- yon, a 710-foot tall be- hemoth on the Colorado River, in 1983. Heavy snowmelt and rains that winter flooded the Colorado River basin, filling the 185-mile-long Lake Powell to the brim. Glen Canyon Dam — com- pleted in 1966, just two years before the 770-foot Oroville Dam went into op- eration — opened its two spillways for the first time ever to lower the lake lev- els. On June 6, 1983, rum- bling sounds could be heard from the left spill- way — which is a tunnel, different than Oroville's 3,000-foot long concrete chute — and the dam be- gan to shake violently. Bu- reau of Reclamation engi- neers shut off the spillway and found a series of five holes being torn into the rocks on the dam's side. When engineers entered the Glen Canyon Dam's damaged spillway, they found a crater 32 feet deep and 180 feet long, and tons of concrete, reinforced metal and rock that had simply washed away. The right spillway had similar, but less severe damage. They didn't simply re- construct the spillways, they introduced new tech- nology with aeration slots — essentially ramps at vul- nerable spots in the spill- way to create an air pocket where water vapor could be disrupted and weak- ened. The physics gambit worked. In 1984, the run- off was equally as chal- lenging, but Glen Canyon's spillways had no problems. Those fixes led the fed- eral agency to retrofit two other large dams — Hoover and Blue Mesa — with aer- ators. "It was a defining mo- ment in dam design," Bu- reau of Reclamation hy- draulic engineer Philip Burgi told a magazine years later. "The world was watching how we were go- ing to solve this problem." Similar fixes were added to the Tarbela Dam in Pak- istan and Infiernillo Dam in Mexico. It could be months be- fore the cause of the col- lapse of Oroville Dam's spillway is known. The Federal Energy Regu- latory Commission this week ordered the state Department of Water Re- sources to convene a panel of five dam engineering experts to oversee an in- vestigation. But despite the lessons from Glen Canyon, the Oroville Dam spillway ap- parently did not have aer- ators. The massive chute is 178 feet wide, as wide as 15 lanes of freeway, and just 15 inches thick in the mid- dle. Sources at the Depart- ment of Water Resources say it hadn't been retrofit- ted with aerators — likely one or two ramps, in the case of Oroville's chute- style spillway, perhaps a foot high each, that would allow the water to flow over and reduce the risk of cavitation. "Compared to the cost to repair that it would be just a few million dollars," said Tullis. "It's not just a matter of money, it's a matter of safety. It should have been a priority." When the main spill- way failed, officials had to slow water releases. The lake, swollen from heavy storms, rose nearly 50 feet in five days and overtopped its emergency spillway for the first time ever, forcing the emer- gency evacuation of nearly 200,000 residents along the Feather River. The hillside below the emer- gency spillway eroded badly, leading to fears it would collapse, and send a wall of water into towns below. In recent days, dam operators have increased flows down the broken main spillway, dropping the lake level, and hop- ing it doesn't further tear apart. One concern that is cer- tain to be a focus in the investigation are cracks in the main spillway in recent years. Records from the state Division of Safety of Dams show the cracks were seen in 2009. Also, crack repairs were done last in 2013, accord- ing to Kevin Dossey, a se- nior civil engineer with the Department of Water Resources.
