Deathnotices and were recognized by their battle cry that was partly in Celtic and partly in English with the last part being Ireland Forever. The 42nd Virginia had 867 men from a 10-county region who volunteered to serve when they formed in July of 1861, but by the time they fought 26 battles and made it to the surren- der there was only one offi- cer and 44 men under him left. Following introductions, both Union and Confeder- ate did a rifle salute, ending with a moment of silence for the fallen comrades as a soldier played taps on the trumpet. This was the 13th year the local chapter of the Re- Enactors of the American Civil War put on the event and Friday an education day was held, which was the largest to date, Barram said. "It was our biggest ed- ucation day ever with 940 kids," Barram said. "We had kids as far away as Buckeye in North Redding and Par- adise sent a charter school. Most of our base was the middle schools in Tehama County who were very well represented." Both the education day and the event itself are a way for the re-enactors to share the nation's history and to keep it alive through a living history presen- tation format that allows them to help people expe- rience it for themselves, he said. "The Civil War was a turning point in our na- tion's history," Barram said. "It was a chance to test whether the national federal government had supremacy over the states and it started the ball roll- ing for the end of slav- ery. There was more ad- dressed in the 1960's re- garding equality and there are still issues needing to be resolved today, but it got things started." The event is also a chance for the members to interact with the public and share their knowledge of the times, politics, tac- tics of war and equipment of the Civil War era, he said. "It's a chance for the public to touch base with something they haven't learned about since high school," Barram said. "We have veterans who come and thank us for working to keep the memory (of the civil war) alive and adults get a chance to learn new aspects of the war. It's re- ally just a chance to bring it to life." Tehama County was an area of split loyalties dur- ing the Civil War, said Bar- ram, who is also a pub- lished author on the subject of the Civil War. With Cal- ifornia being so far away, there are only two incidents he knows of connected to it directly. The first was a story he heard of a man who got on a horse on Main Street near where Mary Brown, widow of abolitionist John Brown for whom the town of Red Bluff built a house for her and her daughters. The man reportedly climbed on his horse with a Confeder- ate flag and road down Main Street. Rumor has it that someone, reportedly a driver for Wells Fargo, shot the man off his horse and he was drug down to Sac- ramento, Barram said. The other story is one that every time there was a Union vic- tory, someone in Red Bluff fired a cannon. At the beginning of the war, California fully ex- pected to be a part and began rallying troops to send, however, those re- cruited were not sent east to fight, but instead tasked with keeping communica- tion to Washington D.C. go- ing in helping with things like guarding wagon trains, Barram said. The group was known as the Cal 100, mostly made up of Califor- nians with a few from Or- egon, and they eventually fell under the command of a Massachusetts calvary. "California was most def- initely Union," Barram said. "The gold in California paid for the war effort. There were a few half-hearted at- tempts by the rebs to dis- rupt California, but that was it."

War FROM PAGE 1 "I love how the small community businesses want to be a part," Davis said. "We have people that come every year and just show up. I think that it's wonder- ful that they're so dedicated to showing up. We tried a new thing with Google in- vites this year and those who didn't get Google in- vites called me up." Inadditiontobusinessin- volvement, there was a His- panic outreach group from Chico and Metteer School brought its Baile Foklorico group to entertain. Groups included the Te- hama County Library and Tehama Reads to the Boy Scouts and Tehama County Health Services Agency. In between the two build- ings, Red Bluff Police Officer Ruben Murgia rode a course with children for a bike ro- deo, which was put on by the Tehama County Health Services Agency in part- nership with Red Bluff Po- lice and the California High- way Patrol. Volunteers from CHP, Te- hama County Probation, Te- hama County Sheriff's Ex- plorers and the Red Bluff High School SOLES Club helped children navigate the course and learn traffic safety rules. "It's a partnership in teaching the children about safety on the road, being alert to what is around them, using proper hand signals and wearing their helmet properly," said Ma- ria Rodriguez, Office of Traffic Safety coordina- tor for the Health Services Agency. "You never know when a collision will occur so it is good to teach them what they need to know to prevent injuries or a fatal- ity." Prior to entering the course, children had their bicycles inspected by Fred Avila of the Probation De- partment, who formerly owned a bicycle shop, and needed repairs were made. "It takes a lot of good partnerships to make this happen," Rodriguez said. "This is our fourth year and we appreciate the children's fair letting us be a part of their event."

People who flock to the Tuolumne River for recre- ation will have to be careful of the potential for rapidly rising and dangerous river waters, said Calvin Curtis of the Turlock Irrigation Dis- trict. "The water is going to be fast. It's going to be colder than it has been," he said. The snowmelt flows downhill during warm months into reservoirs and canals, which supply one- third of the water used by residents of the most pop- ulous U.S. state. It also ir- rigates crops in the nation's most productive farming state. The heavy snowpack to- day blanketing the 400-mile long Sierra Nevada stands in contrast to two years ago when barely any measure- able snow remained at this time of year amid Califor- nia's drought, state water managers said. The California Coopera- tive Snow Surveys Program on Monday measured that snowpack contains nearly twice the amount of water typically found in the snow at this time of year.

During California's drought, the iconic Si- erra Nevada bighorn sheep movedfromlowerelevations higher up into the moun- tains in search of food, said Jason Holley, a wildlife biol- ogist for the California De- partment of Fish and Wild- life. But the heavy snow may have killed 100 of the 600 or so bighorn, he said. "They've triggered some avalanches," Holley said. "Others go caught in areas with no natural food." The snowdrifts have also kept many bears hibernat- ing in the remote wilder- ness inside their dens one month longer than normal because food is still scarce, Holley said. Hikers heading to the mountains are sure to find damaged roads leading to prized campgrounds that may not be repaired until next year, said Stanislaus National Forest officials.

Inexperienced hikers heading into the moun- tains should be prepared for snow lasting longer than normal this spring and should hike with more experienced people or con- sider heading to coastal mountains not covered in snow, said Kathryn Phil- lips, director of the Sierra Club California Snow FROM PAGE 1 ELWOODTEDRICK November 24, 1925 ~ April 24, 2017 Elwood Tedrick passed away April 24, 2017.

VIOLET LILLIAN "VAN" McDONALD January 21, 1926 ~ February 7, 2017 On February 7, 2017 Violet Lillian McDonald passed away peacefully in her sleep following a long battle with dementia. She had recently celebrated her 91st birthday with her family. She was born in Morristown, New York, as Violet Lillian VanHyning and eventually moved with her family to Ogdensburg, New York. After graduating high school, she continued on to nursing school and became a regis- tered nurse, during which time she met and became en- gaged to Phillip John McDonald. After they were married and started their family, they moved to Red Bluff, CA when Phillip's employer, Diamond International transfer- red him to the Local Diamond International Pulp Mill here in Red Bluff. After building a home and completing their family of four 4 children, Violet became the night super- vising nurse at St. Elizabeths Hospital, and also worked part time as a nurse at Diamond International. Violet was a devoted, caring, and loving mother to her husband and four children, Connie Zambrano (Oscar Zambrano), Martha Pulizzano, (James Pulizzano), Judy Cantwell (Daniel Cantwell), and Tom McDonald (Jill McDonald). She adored her 6 grandchildren, Rosie Zambrano Phillips, Candie Siligo, Nicolas Siligo, Sadie Thompson, Matt Thompson, Megan Cantwell, and Jennica McDonald, and 3 great grandchildren, Emily Phillips, Oliver Sanders and Paige Siligo Womack. Violet was predeceased by her husband Phillip in May 1995 and two granchildren Jason Siligo and Elizabeth Zambrano. After retiring she loved to spend time with her husband, and family. She loved to travel and loved the ocean. She was an avid reader, card player and exceptional at cross- word puzzles and scrabble. She was also quite often seen playing the penny slots at our local casinos, and was very lucky. Per her request, no service will be held, but she will be put to rest next to her husband at St. Mary's Cemetary, Red Bluff, CA Violet McDonald's family would like to send a very spe- cial thank you to Brentwood Skilled Nursing for taking such sweet, loving, and awesome care of their most pre- cious mother these past couple years.
