The Citizen RIMS, or Records Information Management Sys- tem, software lets the public view crime data available via the Inter- net, according to a press release issued Wednesday by the sheriff's office. The idea is to make infor- mation available to the public in an easy to use website. The system is located at an up- graded sheriff's website, http://te- hamaso.org. Some of the features of the pro- gram are live incident mapping; incident mapping; crime map- ping: bulletins or incident logs; arrests logs from the past 30 days; a year-to-year crime data chart; recent stolen vehicles data and missing person information with TEHAMA COUNTY Sheriff shows new crime data system By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING The City Council dis- cussed options for addressing the feral cat issue Tuesday, but deci- sion was not made as more infor- mation and discussion on cost was requested by council mem- bers. Numerous organizations and individuals are in favor of Trap Neuter Release, or TNR, pro- grams, according to a report written by Stephen Kimbrough, former city manager, and Tony Cardenas, former police chief, on Feb. 8, 2011, which was part of Tuesday's agenda report. Other groups support euthanasia as a means of eliminating the prob- lem. Both sides agree there are too many feral cats and failure to pre- vent or control the population amounts to inhumane treatment of the animals. While residents and the coun- cil agree on the problem, there is debate over how to handle a feral cat population. Some suggest killing the ani- mals is inhumane, while others say many feral cats carry untreat- able diseases the can cause them to live in pain and spread the dis- eases to other animals. Councilman Jose "Chuy" Vale- rio requested information on pos- sible solutions, as he is concerned about the number of feral cats in the city and their impact public health. "Step by step we need to work something out to make a change," Valerio said. City Manager Kristina Miller presented her findings at the meeting Tuesday and informed the council of how cities nearby are dealing with the same issue. Miller said Orland spends about $2,500 annually to operate a "catch and kill" program.

Visitors can once again ap- preciate the natural setting of Dog Island, free of mod- ern sights and sounds and ee- rily reminiscent of the wilder- ness area of northern Virginia, where some of the Civil War's bloodiest fighting took place in 1863 and 1864. The public can walk the well-shaded trails and visit Confederate, Union and civil- ian camps, to talk with the sol- diers and civilians and learn about life during America's greatest conflict. They may even encounter blue- or grey- coated pickets along the trails between the camps and the battlefield. They will watch battles that feature special ef- fects and reconstruct the sights and sounds of Civil War fight- ing, with authentic Civil War tactics and weapons. Now a Red Bluff tradition, the event is hosted by the 72nd New York Volunteer Infantry, one of several units and non- profit organizations making up the Federal Brigade of the Reenactors of the American Civil War — a Northern Cal- ifornia non-profit organiza- tion, is comprised of several Union and Confederate infan- try, artillery and cavalry units, as well as a large civilian con- tingent. Members are dedicated liv- ing historians recreating the daily experiences of both sol- diers and civilians during the Civil War.
