ByCatherineLucey TheAssociatedPress NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. Shift- ing attention from his troubled White House, President Donald Trump hit the road Friday for a campaign-style rally, resur- recting the buoyant jobs prom- ises that powered his election victory and pledging to "un- leash the power of the Ameri- can spirit." "We love our workers and we are going to protect our work- ers," Trump declared at a Boeing plant where the company showed off its new 787-10 Dreamliner air- craft. "We are going to fight for jobs. We are going to fight for our families," he said in a reprise of the "America First" message from his campaign. More of the same is expected Saturday when he holds a big CAMPAIGNING Tr um p ta lk s jobs on the ra ll y roa d By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING The City Council ad- opted a resolution Tuesday au- thorizing City Manager Kristina Miller to execute and submit a Proposition 47 program grant agreement proposal for funding programs that will focus on juve- niles and their families. On Nov. 18, 2016 the California Board of State and Community Corrections released a Request for Proposals for Proposition 47 Program Grants. Prop. 47, which reduced some low-level crimes to misdemeanor penalties, requires the board to administer grants for mental health services, diversion pro- grams for people in the crimi- nal justice system and substance abuse treatment using a portion of the annual state savings. The goal is to reduce recidivism of people convicted of less serious CORNING City seeks grant for counseling programs By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter REDBLUFF Rainfall is forecast to continue through Tuesday and is expected to bring renewed rises to the Sacramento River includ- ing area creeks and rivers, accord- ing to the National Weather Ser- vice, Sacramento, with the great- est rises forecast to occur Monday.

HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Tehama County Plowshare Project is one step closer to gaining the financing needed to become a non-profit organization with a donation from Ben Hughes. The donation came after the Sacramento River Discovery Center Thursday Evening Pro- gram, when plowshare founder JT Shoults spoke about the program and its goal to ex- pand opportunities through non-profit status. The Tehama County Plow- share Project is a program that Shoults started in Napa in 2008 and then brought with him to Tehama County, he said. The program teaches students about growing their own food and healthy eating. "I had 11 brothers and sis- ters and we were very poor growing up in southern Vir- ginia," Shoults said. "Like a lot of us back there, if you didn't garden, you didn't eat. I'm a strong believer that there are many environments to teach in and gardening is a great class- room." Shoults shared several suc- cess stories including a boy who is autistic that at first was not able to participate in gar- dening without gloves. He is now able to garden in dry dirt without using gloves. The program has had as many as 15-20 gardens with about 1,000 students working in them at Tehama County schools. Many of those are places where there was al- ready a garden that wasn't in use. Gardens at schools statis- tically fall out of use with only 1 out of 9 succeeding for longer TEHAMA COUNTY PLOWSHARE SEEKS NON-PROFIT STATUS DN FILE PHOTO Tehama County Plowshare Project Founder JT Shoults oversees a group of students working at a garden site at Metteer Elementary School in 2016.
