Lemert, of Red Bluff, died Monday, Aug. 12, 2013 at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital. He was 79. Arrangements are under the direction of Hoyt-Cole Chapel of the Flowers.

The loggers moved their families into 9-foot by 18-foot wooden cabins. These structures were on skids to permit them to be transported on railroad cars to the next Diamond camp. Their homes had no hot water, no indoor bathrooms and only a single light bulb hanging down from the ceiling The daily challenges were met through efforts of independent hard-working men and their spouses who often migrated to the logging camps because they had no alternative. They had very little money, so the jobs with Diamond were a life saver. The logging camps became closely knit communities where the strong goal-setting individuals found their hearts softened by the need to develop camaraderie and dependence on others that sometimes paved the way for new opportunities. The children remembered in those days how everyone had genuine concern for others. In different ways they will tell you about their simple, but special experiences, as they were permitted to wander off the beaten paths into meadow and streams to explore and learn. Accurate accounts of people and events have been preserved through extensive personal interviews and more than 125 documented photographs. Through the kids' eyes, readers will see the actual camp life and logging activities — work, recre- ation, communication, injury and death.

"I was shocked because planes don't do that," Smalley said. About a minute later, Smalley said smoke began billowing and he called 9-11. The Paradise, Chico or Oroville airports report the plane is not based at their locations. The Salmon River Complex of fires had reached 10,889 acres as of Tuesday, with about 45 percent containment, according to a press release issued Tuesday by the Klamath National Forest. On the west side of the fire, growth was expected to be westerly to the ridge above China Gulch and northerly toward completed dozer line. Firefighters planned to hold and improve established line, monitor the fire's progress and conduct firing operations to keep the fire within containment lines. On the east side, active flanking fire spread to the southwest and northeast below Tanners Peak. The increase in fire activity is a result of the high-pressure over the area.

It is always best to park in a parking lot or on the shoulder of the roadway where it is legal to park. Whenever possible have the passengers exit the vehicle on the right curb side of the roadway. Never stop in a roadway or red curb areas to allow people to exit a vehicle. This could cause an accident or other traffic congestion issues. • Look out for the unexpected. With all the excitement of the first days of class, some children may leave an area of safety such as the sidewalks and dart into the roadway. This is true of bicycles as well. Young children are impulsive and they will cross the roadway in mid-block, sometimes without looking for on-coming vehicles. • Avoid distractions in the vehicle such as cell phones, texting, eating or drinking.

Decisions on funding for projects in Orange and Sacramento counties would soon follow.

Pedestrians • For young children who are walking to school, accompany them and show them the safest route to their school. • Cross the street in marked crosswalks whenever possible. If there isn't a crosswalk, cross the street at an intersection. • When crossing a street, wait until all vehicles have stopped before leaving the sidewalk. Just because one driver sees a pedestrian and stops, doesn't mean all the drivers see them. • Don't run in the crosswalk. • Consider starting a "walking school bus." This is a group of children from a neighborhood walking to school as a group with a parent or adult guardian. • Carefully consider your child's pedestrian skills to determine whether or not they are ready to walk to school on their own. • Teach your children about strangers and not accepting rides form anyone they don't know. Remember to have a secret password that only you begin construction of a bullet train line between Los Angeles and San Francisco, authority spokeswoman Lisa Marie Alley told The Associated Press. The state is working ''to reconcile state and federal law on public pensions and transit grant dollars,'' Brown spokesman Jim Evans told the Bee in an emailed statement. One option would be to pass legislation temporarily exempting transportation employees from the state's new pension law while the state challenges the federal interpretation in court, Mike Wiley, the Sacramento Regional Transit District's general manager and CEO, told the Bee. A variation on that plan would be to pass legislation temporarily exempting only employees of agencies that have Crews battle small lightning fires in Klamath Forest YREKA – Lightning storms hitting the Klamath National Forest Monday night brought with them somewhat wetter conditions.

There was a slight chance of continued thunder storms Tuesday evening. Although these fires were lightning-caused, many wildfires in California are caused by people; this means they can be prevented.

THE PASSING PARADE A business acquaintance, knowing I have an interest in things past, sent me a small curiosity…a wellmade wooden box 12" x 5"x 4" with the inscription "I SURVIVED THE DISASTER AT BREWERY CREEK. August 27-28, 1948 Red Bluff Calif." The contents are described as "One 11 oz. bottle Mt. Shasta Ale, Brewed approx. 1943 STALE-DO NOT DRINK. See enclosed for history" Before reading same, I recalled what little I knew about a brewery in our fair city that enjoyed a brief popularity before and just after WWII. It was located on the north end of town on an 18 acres parcel west of the railroad tracks and east of Monroe. Avenue. News stories, including the phone book (#96), merely described the site as "north of town". I had heard of a fellow named Pete Marinoff who had operated breweries in the state of Washington until he had a falling out with the Teamsters Union. In a 1981 interview by the Red Bluff Daily news, Marinoff reported that "60 or 70 of the mob wanted to get a hold of me. They would have killed me, sure as hell! I came to Red Bluff because no one knew me here. I made a new life…a new business." Marinoff founded the U.S. Brewing Company in 1936 and the beer was ready to sell a year later carrying the labels "Marinoff", "Mt. Shasta Ale", "U.S. Lager" and "Volga Beer". A photo of the manufacturing plant shows it be a very large 3 story building. Beer was produced from 1937 to 1948 and culminated in the event described as "The Disaster at Brewery Creek". Marinoff had filed for bankruptcy protection for the second and final time, and despite a receiver being appointed to reorganize the brewery, a federal court order eventually demanded that 124,000 gallons of beer be dumped into the Sacramento River. Judge Lemmon ordered it dumped, thus sparing the expense of bottling, and beer began flowing in a nearby ravine through several two and half inch hoses. A large crowd of beer drinkers gathered mournfully to watch the "disaster". The article accompanying the gift box explains that "The enclosed bottle was part of a long forgotten stash of Mt. Shasta Ale found early in 1983 in the basement of a small market in Lodi, Calif. It had been stored in a locked cooler following a fire which did damage to the store". Thus, some enterprising soul decided to box and sell the remaining products from the long closed brewery as a curiosity for collectors, beer drinkers or otherwise. Records indicate that in its heyday, the brewery had a payroll of $90,000 annually. Too bad the company went bust. Red Bluff could have used the employment and the tax revenue from such a large enterprise. This story of the brewery concludes with D. Sale's recollection that after the death of Pete Marinoff, his widow Pauline lived in a two story duplex on Rio for a number of years.
