ISSUES Continued from page 1A Red Bluff Police Chief Paul Nanfito said there is no easy solution to dealing with the homeless. If there was, he would be going city to city marketing it. The discussion was led by Nanfito and Tehama County Sheriff Dave Hencratt. Hencratt said the homeless population was "not just a law enforcement issue, but a community issue." Nanfito said the geography of Red Bluff with the number of highways and river intersecting means the city will always face a homeless problem. There is a misconception about the number of homeless living in the city, Nanfito said. Many people walking the streets appear to be homeless but aren't and that unsightliness has led to assumptions. Hencratt said he believed AB 109 has had a lower than expected impact on the number of homeless people in the county. Nanfito said from his own study of his department's crime statistics, he believed the homeless were not committing crimes at an above average rate compared to other residents. Where the homeless population has affected his department is in the number of public intoxication arrests it has had to make. Nanfito said arresting people frequently will never solve the underlying addiction problems. Nanfito said he supported a homeless shelter being built, but it would only be part of the solution. Others in the audience debated whether a shelter would just add to the population and how effective it would be if it didn't offer counseling services. Further suggestions including paying for bus tickets to assist the homeless in relocating to their original home towns and roping off a space for them away from view where they could live, to giving them portable bathrooms and needle collection boxes to keep the area and river cleaner. Hencratt said he welcomed any idea. Much of the discussion centered around trying to change mindsets that all homeless people are addicts. Those who work with the homeless said the population has changed in recent years and includes a higher percentage of younger people who lost jobs or were having family problems. Both were true of a married couple in attendance, who said they were homeless after losing jobs and did not turn to family for help because they did not get along with them. The man, Kevin, said the majority of homeless people aren't addicts. He said Thursday no one could even tell they were homeless since they had just showered and had fresh clothes, but on Wednesday he admitted he was covered in dirt. He said a shelter would be useful in helping clean up appearances as long as it was located in town. The woman said she does not enjoy being judged as criminals, since they are not. She said they have even began working with public agencies to clean up portions of the area where they live and wanted to be a part of a solution. Resident Randy Dueck received praise from a number of people in attendance for his outreach program with the homeless. Dueck said what he has learned in recent months is that no two stories about how someone came to be homeless are the same. He has also learned that not everyone he tries to help will be a success story. Noticeably missing from the meeting were homeowners who showed up in large numbers at an April Red Bluff City Council meeting asking for a solution. 7A Redding man indicted for child pornography SACRAMENTO — A federal grand jury returned an indictment Thursday charging Sean Erin Karjala, 42, of Redding, with production of child pornography, according to a press release from US Attorney Benjamin Wagner. According to the indictment, between Feb. 8 and 9 Karjala produced visual depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau WOES Continued from page 1A dam's gates, the water has returned to its original levels. Adding to the problem in recent years has been low levels of winter precipitation. The last time the area received back-toback wet years was 19992000. Lawrence said many of the wells in the area were built after the dam went in and simply weren't drilled deep enough to access where the water levels are now. His department has found well owners are continuing to have problems because of the age and placement of their well and pump systems. Water resources staff said the Household Water Wells System Loan Program is available for those residents who qualify. Lawrence and staff took several questions from residents about other impacts on the system. He said he would not be the least bit concerned about the impact of the Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority's pumping station. Its water intake is federally mandated and THEFT Continued from page 1A reported stolen to the Chico Police Department was seen on the property. After receiving the search warrant two additional stolen vehicles were located in a shop building FIRES Continued from page 1A While all persons may experience varying degrees of symptoms, the more sensitive individuals, such as the young, aged and those with respiratory conditions are of greatest risk at experiencing more aggravated symptoms, which may include, but are not limited to coughing, watery and itchy eyes, and difficulty in breathing. Persons experiencing questionable or severe symptoms should seek professional medical advice and treatment.

Assistant US Attorney Kyle Reardon is prosecuting the case. Karjala was stopped by a California Highway Patrol Officer in Trinity County near Douglas City April 28. During that stop, Karjala attacked the CHP officer and was shot four times. He is hospitalized and in protective custody. If convicted, Karjala faces a statutory penalty of 15 to 30 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a lifetime period of supervised release. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. have to begin with the residents voting in favor of it. Residents asked whether the upcoming study could include comparing nitrate levels in different types of wells based on age and construction methods. Another problem that could be adding to nitrate levels are outdated, unused abandoned wells. Tehama County Environmental Health Director Tim Potranovic gave a presentation urging residents to help the county locate such wells so they could be safely closed. He said abandoned wells can act as a highway for nitrates to contaminate the ground water. East Sand Slough A group of residents passed out flyers for a proposed May 18 cleanup of the East Sand Slough, but they heard first hand the governmental hurdles that can stand in the way. Different portions of the land is owned by multiple government agencies including CalTrans, the Bureau of Reclamation and the city of Red Bluff as well as some private businesses. Mike Marvier, from the Tehama County Resource Conservation District, said he had finally received a contract from the federal government to begin cleanup work of the slough over the next five years. Garton pointed out the 5-year contract was only for two months out of the year. Marvier said he will work to cleanout dead and dying as well as nonnative vegetation in the area, and garbage left behind by the homeless. Pat Johnston, who is helping plan the May 18 cleanup, asked whether someone will try to stop their efforts. Garton said if Johnston advertised the cleanup that the Department of Fish and Game would be aware and would surely show up. Tehama County Trails Coordinator Alan Abbs and Red Bluff Planning Director Scot Timboe brought visions of an improved sand slough area. The two discussed plans to increase trails in the area, including a flood proof bicycle path below the bridge. They said should funding ever become available there were plans for the path to stretch from Shari's Restaurant all the way to the Sacramento River Discovery Center.

Water Quality Government agencies have been worried about the nitrate levels in the Antelope area water. High nitrate levels can be especially dangerous to infants and pregnant women. Officials in attendance Thursday said their is sparse data since 2002, and a new study was expected to be released in 2014 to examine whether the loss of Lake Red Bluff has had an impact on nitrate levels. In the last study about 20 percent of the wells tested had higher than the State Regional Water Quality Control Board's accepted nitrate limits. The Control Board had mandated the county come up with a plan on how it could address the nitrate issue in the area. The county finalized a sewer plan earlier this year. A $44 million plan Public Works Director Gary Antone said neither residents, the city nor county wanted to pay for. Supervisor Dennis Garton said the county would not force a sewer plan onto Antelope residents and that any process would capable of filtering extra fine particulates. Fire crews are struggling with the rugged terrain in the Mill Creek and Deer Creek drainages, about eight miles northwest of Butte Meadows. The fire is burning in the Ishi Wilderness Area. Nearly 1,100 personnel are assigned and there was 10 percent containment. The cause is still under investigation. No structures have burned, none are immediately threatened and there have been no injuries. About 12 miles from the Panther Fire, the Cedar Fire has burned 55 acres south of Butte Meadows, east of where Humboldt Road branches off Highway 32. The Cedar Fire is about 75 percent contained, according to Damon, with 184 fire- fighters involved. The cause is also being investigated. Across the Central Valley another blaze, called the 306 Fire is burning off Glenn County Road 306 in the Elk Creek area. The 306 Fire has burned about 217 acres and is about 75 percent contained. A fire camp supporting the firefighters has been set up at the Silver Dollar Fairground in Chico, but Cal Fire notes the camp will not interfere with activities slated this weekend at the fairgrounds.
