The store was back up and running with win- dows and doors repaired the same day it was van- dalized about 4:45 a.m. Lafromboise was report- edly crawling out the window as officers ar- rived on scene, but also left his name scrawled several places in the of- fice and a wallet on the counter. Damage from the inci- dent included broken win- dows and doors, a chair valued at $700 that had been stolen from the busi- ness, and a computer val- ued at $500 that was de- stroyed. During the previous incident, two bottles of food grade lubricant used on the machines were dumped around the busi- ness, which was recently remodeled in September at a cost of $100,000, along with fryer oil and soda poured everywhere. Outside, there was a broken sprinkler in front of the business that was damaged when a board next to it was pulled out of the ground to be used on the window.

He is behind the scenes and never noticed by rodeo fans, which Kemen pre- fers. When Kemen started volunteering he was "in- fatuated" with rodeo. Now, his interests have turned to team roping and cutting horses. For his years of volun- teer service, Kemen was awarded a buckle. Kemen's wife, Jolene, is a director with the Round-Up; the couple has a son and daughter, two grandsons and a grand- daughter. The 96th annual Red Bluff Round-Up kicks off Friday evening and con- tinues on Saturday and Sunday. The annual pa- rade takes place at 10 a.m. Saturday, and the world- renowned Wild Ride will be the final event of the rodeo on Sunday. Tickets are available on- line at RedBluffRoundup. com and at the gate. Rodeo FROM PAGE 1 said he agreed cars should be moved off the streets during street sweep- ing each week to allow for cleaner streets and less build-up in the gut- ters, ultimately protecting the streets during rainy weather. City staff is considering how best to address this issue, said City Manager Richard Crabtree. "It would require changes to the city code as well as installation of ap- propriate signs, plus a rea- sonable notice to drivers," Crabtree said. "No date has yet been set for return to council, but I expect it will be in June." Questions were raised during a March council meeting regarding avail- able commercial recycling services from Green Waste and the street sweep- ing program, operated by Green Waste, within the city by two local residents. Garrett was invited to address these issues and provide other information at the April 4 meeting. Garrett said Green Waste offers a variety of re- cycling receptacles ranging from small blue carts up to an eight-yard bin, available for all business and resi- dents interested. There are different pro- grams Green Waste offers to commercial customers to promote recycling, in- cluding a three-month free program to allow custom- ers to find what works for them at no addition cost. The larger recycling metal bins do have a fee, but Garrett said a smaller waste bin could be pur- chased to offset the cost. It is often the case that busi- nesses will use less of the waste bin due to having the recycling bin available. The recycling recepta- cles at River Park and other parks have proven to not be effective, however, and are not being used correctly, Garrett said. They will be removed in June. Issues with large bins at the parks and large items being put in them were dis- cussed. Parks and Recreation Commissioner Gerry Reyes, who was appointed as Planning Commissioner during the meeting, said the Parks Commission has discussed the issue and been looking into con- trolled dumpsters. A program is available to small businesses called Smart Business Alliance, developed by the Tehama County Solid Waste Man- agement Agency, that helps local businesses voluntarily engage in waste reduc- tion, reuse and recycling practices and provides the tools and resources to im- plement a successful recy- cling program. Local businesses inter- ested in enrolling in the Smart Business Alliance can call 528-1103 or write to tehamacountyrecycles@ co.tehama.ca.us. Garrett said all residen- tial garbage services in- clude recycling service and, if a resident does not have a blue rollout cart, the res- ident should call 528-8500 to schedule a cart delivery at no additional cost.

Recycle FROM PAGE 1 By Tom Krisher and Ken Ritter The Associated Press LAS VEGAS A Nevada crash that nearly killed a young woman has exposed a hole in the government's efforts to get dangerous Takata air bag inflators off the road: There's nothing that prevents the devices from being taken from wrecked cars and reused. Karina Dorado's trachea was punctured by shrapnel from an inflator in an oth- erwise minor crash in Las Vegas on March 3. She was rushed to a trauma center, where surgeons removed pieces that damaged her vocal cords. She is still be- ingtreatedforneckinjuries. Dorado, 18, is among nearly 200 people injured or killed by the inflators, which can explode when the chemical propellant inside deteriorates. What's different about her case is how the inflator wound up in her 2002 Honda Accord in the first place. Dorado's father, Jose, bought the car for her in March of last year so she could get to and from her job at a customer service call center, attorneys for the family said Wednesday. The family did not know the car's history, including that it had been wrecked in Phoenix and declared a total loss by an insurance company in 2015, the attor- neys said. According to AutoCheck, a service that tracks vehi- cle histories, the car was given a salvage title, re- paired and resold in Las Vegas last spring. Engineers from Honda inspected Dorado's car af- ter the crash and traced the serial number from the blown-apart inflator to a 2001 Accord, which had been covered by a recall but never had the inflator replaced. Honda spokesman Chris Martin said the air bag in the 2001 Accord must have been removed by a sal- vage yard, or perhaps sto- len. Somehow it ended up at the shop that repaired the car eventually bought by the Dorados. It's perfectly legal under federal law for air bag as- semblies or other parts sub- ject to recall to be pulled out of wrecked cars and sold by junkyards to re- pair shops that may not even know the danger. No government agency monitors the transactions. In addition, no states ap- pear to have laws against the reuse of recalled parts. "What there should be is a program that pre- vents old air bags from be- ing recycled," said Michael Brooks, acting director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety. Carfax, another auto his- tory tracking service, said it is unknown just how many cars are sold each year with salvage titles, but they number in the thou- sands. At least 16 people have been killed by Takata in- flators worldwide and more than 180 injured. The prob- lem touched off the biggest automotive recall in U.S. history, with 69 million in- flators recalled. About 100 million have been recalled globally. Takata has been fined and faces lawsuits, and it could be driven into bankruptcy. Kent Emison, an attor- ney for the Dorado family, said that given the huge size of the Takata recall, millions of inflators are probably still in use and unaccounted for by au- thorities. "People are not going to know until it's too late that they have a defective Takata air bag," he said. The inflator that nearly killed Dorado was among the most dangerous made by Takata. In testing, in- flators taken from older Hondas had a 50 percent chance of blowing apart, prompting the automaker and the National High- way Traffic Safety Admin- istration to issue desperate pleas for people to get them replaced. Unlike most other air bag makers, Takata used the chemical ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate the bags in a crash. But the chemical deteriorates over time when exposed to heat and humidity, causing it to burn too fast and blow apart a metal canister. Attorneys for the Dorado family said they are trying to find out where Jose Do- rado bought the Accord. WRECKED CARS Ho w da ng er ou s ai r ba gs can find their way into used cars By Sudhin Thanawala The Associated Press SANFRANCISCO A mistake by a pilot on his first flight in a U2 spy plane forced him and an instructor to eject from the plane while on a training mission from a California base in Septem- ber, killing the instructor after his seat hit the plane's right wing, the Air Force said Wednesday. Investigators deter- mined that the pilot who was training to fly U2 spy planes either pulled back too fast or too quickly on his stick while learn- ing to recover from a stall shortly after the plane left from Beale Air Force Base about 50 miles (80 kilome- ters) north of Sacramento, Air Force Major A.J. Schrag said. "He probably got a little overenthusiastic," Schrag said. That caused the plane to gointoasecondarystallthat forced the student pilot and his instructor, Lt. Col. Ira S.
