When the death of Sean Siders, 19, was first announced, DAILYNEWS TEHAMACOUNTY DAILY 50¢ T H E V O I C E O F T E H A M A C O U N T Y S I N C E 1 8 8 5 Intoxication suspected in Cone Grove death a press release declared neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to be a factor in Siders’ death. But on Tuesday, Sheriff Clay Parker revealed deputies sus- pected the use of canned air by Siders and his friends within hours of Siders’ death. The information was withheld from the press “to protect the family,” ‘The rumors going on around about the lieutenant are absolutely unfounded, ludicrous, absolutely untrue’ Sheriff Clay Parker Parker said. Toxicology results have since confirmed the presence of aerosol chemicals in Siders’ body. Full autopsy results for Siders are still pending. But canned air chemicals and water may have been a deadly combi- nation for Siders, who friends initially said was swimming before his death.

(AP) — Mounting their most vig- orous defense for round- ing up wild horses in the West, lawyers for the Obama administration argued Tuesday that leav- ing the overpopulated herds on public rangeland would do the mustangs more harm than good. Assistant U.S. Attor- ney Ignacia Moreno said in a court filing that the range cannot support the current population of horses, whose numbers were expected to grow. ‘‘The growing population of wild horses will have devastating impacts on the other resources in the area and on the wild hors- es themselves,’’ Moreno wrote. Justice Department lawyers were defending the roundup before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of the Bureau of Land Manage- ment and its plans to begin its biggest roundup of the year on Wednesday — more than 2,000 ani- mals along the California- Nevada border. That num- ber represents up to 80 percent of the existing herd. The Bay Area-based In Defense of Animals and other horse protection advocates have sought an emergency stay for the gathering about 120 miles north of Reno. The appel- late court in San Francis- co was expected to rule late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

That’s why we’re dedicating this fundraiser to that as well.” The foundation on the south wall is the sixth of 14 phases the museum association has been working steadily on for the past several years and a necessary next step, Wilson said. “We’ve raised about half the money and we can’t go on with the siding and windows until we make sure that See SOCIAL, page 7A Nevada Brewing Co. will be working with The Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina to create an authentic Trappist-style abbey ale. Next year, Sierra Neva- da and the Trappist-Cis- tercian Abbey of New Clairvaux will unveil three different ales under the name Ovila. The proceeds of the sales will benefit the Abbey of New Clairvaux monastery, which is rebuilding the 12th centu- ry Santa Maria de Ovila chapterhouse on its grounds. A series of three Bel- gian-style abbey ales will be made according to cen- turies-old Trappist tradi- tions, according to Sierra Nevada spokesman Bill Manley. “We’re excited here,” said Father Anthony Bellesorte, general man- ager of New Clairvaux. Each beer will be available for a limited time and rotate according to the season. To be released in March, the first beer will be a Belgian-style Dubbel brewed with authentic Trappist yeast. The second, due out in July, will be a Saison, the traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ale made in honor of the monks’ dedi- cation to labor in the fields surrounding the abbey. In time for the holi- days, a Quadrupel rich “with dark fruit flavors and wine-like character” will be released. Bellesorte said the monastery had sought a contribution from Sierra Nevada, but that initial See ALES, page 7A Scout looks back at historic gathering By EDDIE SPIDLE Special to the DN From July 22 to Aug. 4, 36 boys and four adults were in the nation’s capi- tal to help celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Boy Scouts of Ameri- ca along with 40,000 other scouts from across the nation and different countries across the globe, including scouts from Egypt, England, Ger- many, Sweden, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

On the final days of touring we went to Busch Gardens and Colo- nial Williamsburg where all of the scouts had a blast winning our Scout- master stuffed bananas See SCOUT, page 7A filing period Courtesy photo Members of Troop 642 pose during a visit to Washington, DC, during the Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree.
