DISTRICTS Continued from page 1A thoughtful in their questions answered and input taken from the communities in the process." Having the school boards so involved and the multiple meetings and outreaches held along the way helped to make the final process, which had already been approved by the state before coming back to the county for final approval, much smoother, she said. "It was a collaboration of the local school boards and communities and we appreciate their willingness to give up some local control to enhance the programs they have through the larger infrastructure of the Antelope district," Williams said. With this final consolidation, Tehama County, which originally had 139 districts, will be down to 14, Superintendent of Schools Larry Champion said. Many of the locations were created in a time when people did not travel as far and the consolidations allow for "tremendous efficiency" in small districts, providing greater programs at a much lower cost, Champion said.

Since Thursday, Janssen and 1,100 other firefighters have been using the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds as a home base. But beginning Monday, the firefighters who return to the Chico camp will begin going back to their home stations. As of 10 p.m. Monday, the fire was 80 percent contained, and estimated to be fully contained by Thursday. There have been three injuries of firefighters. For the latest incident report: http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/in cidents/incidents_current. Containment means there is a circle of control around the fire, even though flames may continue within the center of that area. Monday firefighters were continuing to build a line of defense, adding four miles of fire line, Janssen said. The cause of the Panther Fire is Staff Report A 24-year-old Red Bluff man was arrested after being found in possession of a stolen bank card, but police are still seeking the man who stole it. On Monday morning, Dustin Moore, 18, of Red Bluff came to the Red Bluff Police Department lobby to report a robbery by someone who was known to him in the area of the Raley's shopping center. Moore told police that he was on South Main Street near the center on Wednesday, May 1, when he was approached by someone known to him who demanded Moore give him his wallet, Sgt. Kevin Busekist said. Moore refused and the man overpowered him and took the wallet, but it wasn't until days later Moore discovered someone had withdrawn more than $500. After the report, officers contacted Jeremy Duane Erickson, who was found to be in possession of Moore's banking card and admitted to using Moore's card to obtain goods. Erickson was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail for possession of stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia and a felony warrant for burglary. Bail was $16,000. The case is still under investigation, Busekist said. Officers are attempting to identify the male who robbed Moore. Anyone with information is asked to contact Red Bluff Police at 527-3131. Continued from page 1A BLEAK BLM stops oil, gas lease auctions SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal land managers have postponed all oil and gas lease auctions in California until October, citing budget problems and low staffing as well as the toll of environmental litigation. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management recently announced it would put off an auction planned for later this month for leases to drill almost 1,300 acres of prime public lands near the Monterey Shale, home to one of the largest deposits of shale oil in the nation. Another auction for about 2,000 acres that had been in the works in Colusa County, about 75 miles northwest of Sacramento, also was put on hold until the end of the fiscal year. ''Our priority is processing permits to drill that are already in flight'' rather than work on new applications, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell told reporters Tuesday after a Senate budget hearing in Washington. The decision came after a federal judge ruled last month that BLM had violated a key environmental law when the agency auctioned the drilling rights for other parcels near the lush Salinas River Valley before performing a sweeping review of the impacts on water, wildlife and air quality. The ruling was in response to a lawsuit by environmentalists who said the bureau had not properly reviewed the environmental risks associated with hydraulic fracturing and other types of oil and gas development. ''BLM's decision to cancel planned lease sales in California for 2013 is a welcome sign that the agency finally recognizes that its rubber-stamp approach to oil leasing is no longer viable,'' said Brendan Cummings, an attorney with the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity, which sued over the previous auction. The decision to postpone leasing doesn't mean that drilling on existing leases will stop, said BLM spokesman David Christy. The agency is concentrating its limited resources on enforcement on existing leases and other priorities, such as granting renewable energy permits, he said. ''For all the legal processes that take place, it takes a lot of staff time to gather information for litigation,'' Christy said. ''So obviously there's some effect, but it wasn't like all by itself it shut us down.'' Jim Kenna, the agency's state director, said BLM's California office had been talking about the possibility of a suspension since at least March and made the decision to postpone auctions late Friday as a result of the automatic budget cuts that took place March 1. The November and December storms built California's snowpack water content to 134 percent of normal by Jan. 2, when DWR and cooperating agencies conducted this season's first manual survey. Manual surveys and electronic readings have recorded the water content decline since dry weather set in. Statewide, the season's second manual survey on Jan. 29 YOUTH Continued from page 1A fun.

The It has become increasingly difficult for very small school districts to remain operating in today's economic climate, Brose said. So administrators from the respective districts began discussions to talk about the possibilities of sharing resources, or perhaps consolidating. When a school district falls under a certain enrollment, the Tehama County Committee on School District Organization can lapse that district into a larger one. Though the three districts weren't required to lapse, the four districts agreed to petition the State Board of Education (SBE) to waive the requirements set forth in the Education Code, so that the lapsation process could proceed, Brose said. The board's earlier approval of the waiver allowed the Committee on School District Organization to approve the lapsation. "It's not only the most democratic, but the cheapest way to consolidate them under the education code," said Tim Morehouse, a member of the Tehama County Committee on School District Organization. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.

The leadership the boards showed in the process and in placing the children first is very much appreciated, Champion said. "Todd (Brose) started out at Flournoy as a superintendent, principal and teacher," Assistant Superintendent of Schools Charles Allen said. "He really understands and has a heart for small schools and I appreciate his leadership (in the transition)." All teachers from the mountain schools, as they fall under a contract with Antelope, will see a pay raise to the same rate as those already under the Antelope School District, Brose said. The three schools will still be classified as small schools and continue to receive Small School Funding. They will benefit from staff development, special education programs, training on the Common Core Standards, curriculum and assessment and technology, Brose said. One area of savings is the financial audits, which can cost $10,000$15,000 per year. "This is a win-win for all districts involved," Antelope School Board President Dan Boone said. "This lapsation will allow the mountain schools to stay open, and tap into Antelope's current resources." still under investigation. The estimated cost to date is about $7 million. The Cedar Fire, south of Butte Meadows, reached 72 acres Saturday. But Sunday the land was returned to Sierra Pacific Industries, which will keep watch over the recently-scorched area for hot spots. Public information officers have noted the record dry weather the past three months has meant wildfires arrived earlier than expected. So far this year, Cal Fire has responded to 1,100 wildfire, which burned about 23,000 acres. Normally, fires as large as the Panther Fire aren't experienced until later in the summer. In fact, seasonal firefighters take to the job May 1. Which is the day the Panther Fire began. As this fire is winding down, the Ishi Wilderness is still off limits to the public, including some minor recreation areas. But no buildings were destroyed. U.S. Forest Service Hotshot crews are also working on interior regions of the fire. found the snowpack water content at 93 percent of normal for the date. On Feb. 28, the season's third manual survey found the snowpack water content at 66 percent of average On Mach 28, about the time the snowpack is normally at its peak, its water content was recorded at 52 percent of normal. Snow normally provides about a third of the water for California's homes and farms as it melts into streams, reservoirs and aquifers. greenhouse will be open and organizers will be selling a few native and drought-tolerant plants for only $5 a pot.

Antone said other funding sources were still to be determined. Work done to create the grant proposals could be reused when other financial opportunities become available. Highways 32 and 36 are open, but people should be careful about fire equipment on those roads. An old fire lookout in the area was threatened, but is intact, he said. "Just because we're having a little rain right now — we aren't out of the woods," Janssen noted. The state's final snow survey May 2 registered the statewide snowpack at 17 percent of normal. This summer has the potential to be a dangerous season for wildfire. Any time there are fires, its a good time to remind the public about fire safety, and it's part of Janssen's job to get the word out. Gov. Jerry Brown recently declared May 5 through 11 "Wildfire Awareness Week." The best place to start is to have 100 feet of "defensible space" around your home. Fire safety every year is important, and even more important this year. A website with fire-safe tips is at: www.ReadyForWildfire.org. THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column circa 1942) A check of the various churches shows that the Easter rush is over and attendance has returned to normal where it will remain until the Christmas rush. *** No commodity seems to fluctuate as much as pork. The price is high again now, but our cattle buyer Leo Richardson was telling me that when he was a youngster out on the Gallatin Ranch west of town, they used to hire two men with rifles to shoot the hogs and let them lay on the ground because they rooted up the range and spoiled it for the cattle. *** Sometimes we talk discouragingly to one another about our losses In the Pacific and assume the attitude that never before has our nation been defeated in even a small war. We have built up a Superman complex around our soldier's and planes caused by magazine and movies in all of which Americans are considered invulnerable and able to destroy any number of opponents. So it was a great surprise to us to find that a Jap soldier could compete with our men on even ground. A short look back into the history of our country will show that in the first 3 years of the Civil War we suffered nothing but defeat from an army that was numerically much smaller. And in the Revolutionary War, General Washington was in despair on a number of occasions as he tried to keep his men out of the way of the advancing British soldiers . The moral to the story is that the first blows in a fight are not important. It's the last one that counts. Joe Louis often lets his opponents belt him around at the start of a fight, but remains champion because he always gets in the last blow. The present situation is a very difficult and complex one for the French people. Since history has been recorded, they have been engaged in constant warfare with either England or Germany, and most of the land battles have been fought in their territory. Regardless what the French leaders do, it is certain that the French people do not want to join with Germany. But at present, you must consider that they are unarmed and hungry and are given the choice of almost certain starvation or possible life by joining with Germany in her war effort. . *** Bicycle riders have as much right on the highway as automobiles according to the Highway Code, but I would not advise disputing the right of way if you are the one on the bicycle. *** The Union told us today that we must give our butchers a day off because Memorial Day falls on a Saturday this year. Somehow this does not make sense to me wasting a perfectly good day when we are trying to win a war.
