The Aging Matters event will have a collaborative discussion forum with mental health pro- fessionals and individuals with lived experiences. The senior cen- ter is located at 1015 4th avenue in Corning. Mayor Douglas Hatley Jr. and the council dedicated the month of May on Tuesday to those citi- zens in the city who richly con- tribute to the community and acknowledges and celebrates all older adults. PROCLAMATION Co rn in g proclaims May Ol de r Am er ic an s Month in city Burn permits will be required starting Monday, May 1 in the unincorporated areas of Tehama County, except in the Capay Fire District, and will be required un- til the burn suspension goes into effect. In addition, burn permits are required within the State Respon- sibility Areas of Glenn County, ac- cording to a press release issued Wednesday by Cal Fire. Residents should check with their local fire officials for burn- ing restrictions within the Corn- ing city limits or if they live in portions of Glenn County that are not in the SRA. Burning has been banned within the city lim- its of Red Bluff. If weather conditions dictate, due to dry fuels and fire condi- tions, the burn suspension could go into effect earlier than the nor- mal June 1 date. Residents who plan on conducting dooryard burning should keep this in mind and plan their dooryard burning accordingly and have it completed before the burn suspension goes in to effect. CAL FIRE Burn permits required starting next Monday Staff Report RED BLUFF An incident initially reported as a structure fire caused by downed power lines about 2:10 p.m. Friday in the 200 block of Sherman Boulevard, caused about $3,000 worth of damages. CalFire Assistant Chief Ad- ministration Matt Chamblin said the residents reported smell- ing smoke after a tree branch fell behind the residence, knocking down the power lines. As a re- sult, an electrical malfunction of the wires inside the residence occurred causing the wires to smoulder or melt, he said. Power to the residence was shut off by the Pacific Gas and Elec- tric Company at 2:16 p.m. to as- sist Cal Fire and Red Bluff Fire in making sure the power line was disconnected to allow firefighters safe access. The Antelope area fire, which was between Gurnsey and Breese avenues, was initially called in as an attic fire above the garage. Scanner reports indicated no fire as of about 2:40 p.m., but there was an electrical wire that ran across from one side of the attic to another that was melted and ventilation was called for. Multiple agencies, including Cal Fire, Tehama County Fire and Red Bluff Fire departments and PG&E, were able to contain the smoke to the initial melting wire preventing any further dam- ages, Chamblin said. All agencies involved were able to save about $250,000 in damages, Chamblin POWER LINES Downedpowerlinesdamagehome Multiple agencies assisting in a call reporting smoldering wires in a Red Bluff Home on Sherman Drive due to power lines down. HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Organizers were preparing Friday to put out col- lection cans at 168 sites in Te- hama County for the eighth an- nual Food From The Heart Fund Drive, which begins May 1 and runs through May 20. The event was started by the Downtown Red Bluff Business Association, but has for the last few years been sponsored and put together by the non-profit Tehama Together and Jessie Woods of the Gold Exchange. "Food From The Heart will once again raise funds to assist local hunger-relief charities in purchasing emergency food as needed throughout the year," said Tehama Together Executive Director Orle Jackson. "With the fund drive scheduled to be con- ducted during the first three weeks of May, a goal of $8,000 has been established with con- tributions coming from local in- dividuals, businesses and ser- vice clubs. At the conclusion of the drive, funds will be divided among 13 participating food ser- vice providers and be deposited with the North State Food Bank or Nu-Way Market for use in the months following it." Food service providers who will benefit include Alterna- tives to Violence, Bridgeway to Hope, Church Without Walls, Food for the Hungry, Freedom Church, The Lord's Table, Villa Columba, PATH, Rancho Te- hama Community Church, SDA Community Services, Salvation Army, Sonlight Worship Cen- ter, SALT Ranch and Tehama County Gleaners Food Bank. The collection banks will be put in a number of locations to encourage community members to get involved including Bartel's Burger and American Legion in Corning, Firehouse Pizza and the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber and Nu-Way Market in Los Molinos. Donations can also be made through a check made out to Tehama Together/FFTH mailed to Tehama Together at 332 Pine Street in Red Bluff or through paypal on the website www.FoodFromTheHeartTe- hamaCounty.com. "Tehama County has about 19 percent of the population that is food insecure," Woods said. "Through the participating emergency food programs, ap- proximately 6,200 of the coun- ty's ill, needy and children are served each month and several of the food banks have a feed- ing program they operate as well. We hope the community will join us in making this pro- gram a success by making a do- nation." Lisa Kassik of the Rancho Te- hama Community Church said the money her group receives from the event gives the orga- nization a cushion in making sure resources are provided to the community as well as a con- nection to the North State Food Bank to help get what they need to feed those coming to their program for assistance. Sue Harms of Church With- out Walls said the Food From The Heart fund drive helps equip her ministry to care for those in need of nutritional food. "We combine these funds with donations to provide high quality, hot meals four days a week," Harms said. "In addi- tion, we are able to give emer- gency food to those in case man- agement. Our men's home and AB 109 transitional housing also benefit from this by allow- ing us to purchase anything we are lacking in our food pantry. Without Food From The Heart many people would not get the food they need. Our thanks to all who give to this worthy fun- draiser."
