PAGE B4 WOMEN'S DAY Women go on strike to show economic clout By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The Red Bluff City Council authorized the city to move forward with the Walbridge Sewer Improvement Project Tues- day and awarded the contract to Walberg, Inc. in the amount of $115,016.94. The city will receive $85,000 from an insurance settlement that will go toward the con- struction of the sewer improve- ment project. The remaining $30,016.94 will come from the city Waste Water Collection Sewer Line Repair and Replace- ment Program account. The city engaged in legal action over the sewer line with resident Kathy Nelson, which resulted in a settlement, said City Manager Richard Crabtree. An additional claim that was settled, which makes up the $85,000. Insurance money was to be contributed to the settlement in the matter, which in this case is the construction of the sewer line. The project aims to eliminate or reduce the smell to comply with the settlement by removing about 1,000 feet of sewer force main between the sewer manhole on Walbridge Street west of Kem- per Avenue to the high point of the force main near the intersec- tion of Baker Street and the gravel frontage road and replace it with an 8-inch gravity sewer line. The project will include the in- stallation of two new manholes. On June 17, 2014, city staff pre- sented a report to the council re- garding odor issues within the neighborhood. The council di- rected the staff to continue mon- itoring the situation. The staff brought information to the coun- cil on Jan. 17 and the staff was au- thorized to advertise for proposal for the construction. Walberg was the lowest bidder out of the six bids received and is based in Corning. Councilman Clay Parker said he was pleased to be using a con- tractor based in Tehama County. "Any time we can do business within the borders of the Tehama County, obviously I'd like it to be the city of Red Bluff, but if it is within our borders, that's where I'd like to see the contracts go," Parker said. A start date for the project had not been determined as of Wednesday. SEWER PROJECT Cityproceedswithimprovements By Terence Chea Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Michael Fas- man's 12-year-old dog, Hudson, limps from pain caused by ar- thritis and an amputated toe, but Fasman doesn't want to give her painkillers because "they just knock her out." So the San Francisco resident has turned to an alternative med- icine that many humans use to treat their own pain and illness: marijuana. On a recent morning, Fasman squeezed several drops of a can- nabis extract onto a plate of yo- gurt, which the Portuguese water dog lapped up in seconds. It's be- come part of Hudson's daily rou- tine. "We think it's really lifted her spirits and made her a happier dog," Fasman said. "It's not that she's changed. She's just back to her good old self." As more states legalize mari- juana for humans, more pet own- ers are giving their furry compan- ions cannabis-based extracts, ointments and edibles marketed to treat everything from arthri- tis and anxiety to seizures and cancer. Most of these pet products, which aren't regulated, contain cannabidiol or CBD, a chemical compound found in cannabis that doesn't get pets or humans high. They contain little or no tetrahy- drocannabinol or THC, the canna- bis compound known for its psy- choactive effects. But veterinarians say there isn't enough scientific data to show cannabis is safe and ef- fective for treating animals. Al- though medical marijuana is le- gal in 28 states, it remains ille- gal under federal law, so there has been relatively little research into POT FOR ANIMALS Owners treat sick pets with cannabis By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Hoelscher on Twitter RED BLUFF The Pauline Davis Pavilion Committee expressed interest Feb. 28 in becoming a nonprofit organization to allow for more opportunities to raise funds for upgrade projects in the pavilion. The Tehama District Fair board voted 5-0 Feb. 28 in favor of the project with four board members absent. The board favored a sign proj- ect that would promote local busi- nesses with the addition of new, updated signs and sponsorships. The group continues to raise money through signs that are pur- chased by community members and organizations, with the funds being earmarked for various proj- ects in the building, which was built in 1972. The committee has come up with a variety of items needed to update the facility, along with other facilities on the property, that would provide the fair with an improved facility able to host more events.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Tehama County fifth-graders were invited to join the North State Sym- phony on an "interstellar ad- venture" into space Tuesday at the State Theatre for the second annual Marvin Locke Memorial Youth Concert. The event, hosted by the Tehama Concert Series in collaboration with the sym- phony, the theater and Te- hama County Schools, had about 1,100 fifth-graders and another 100 teachers and chaperones are invited to at- tend, said Tehama Concert Series President Micah Stet- son. The theme for the show was the solar system. "We have about 550 at- tending each of the two per- formances with about 90 per- cent being children," Stetson said. "All the public elemen- tary schools and just about all the other schools in Tehama County have said they are coming. Our goal is to, over time, have essentially every student in Tehama County experience the symphony in Tehama County so in 12 years we should have reached that." The event is nice because it is all done in one-day and is a great show of cooperation amongst the four groups in- volved, he said. "Marvin Locke was special to all four groups because he was on all four boards," Stet- son said. "He was very in- volved in the community." Marvin's wife, Gail, wel- comed the audience to the show along with North State Symphony Conductor Dwayne Corbin.
