Drug agents arrest two women The Tehama Interagency Drug Enforcement Task Force arrested two women Monday following a probation search at a Red Bluff residence. TIDE agents were conducting a probation search at 924 Hickory St. when two women, Janel Lacambra, 21, and Kylie Johnson, 27 were found exiting the rear door of the residence. A routine check revealed both women had arrest warrants for probation violations. Agents located a purse that was later identified to be Lacambra's that contained 0.2 grams of crystal methamphetamine and 21.1 grams of marijuana. Johnson and Lacambra were booked at Tehama County Jail for violation of probation warrants. Lacambra was also charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Continued from page 1A viewed county administration and parks and recreation staff to review past, current and future action to comply with ADA guidelines. The grand jury noted that while the county did not have a designated ADA compliance official, the officials the grand jury did interview were "well versed in ADA issues and can utilize other resources for guidance," including web resources state and federal ADA compliance codes, state building codes and the California Disabled Accessibility Guidebook. The grand jury noted that compliance failures could expose the county to litigation. Additionally, the grand jury randomly inspected three of the five parks maintained by the county, and found "nonrestrictive access for persons with disabilities from all parking areas to park facilities (and) playgrounds, wheelchair access availability at picnic tables, designated handicapped parking spaces, and wheelchair access to restroom facilities." The grand jury noted that in its interviews officials recognized that ADA guidelines can change, so improvements to parks and facilities, even if in current compliance, should still be sought. The grand jury noted that in its interviews, county officials "acknowledged probable noncompliance with ADA requirements in some facilities; however, none were believed to be in gross violation of ADA specifications." The county's procedures "generally prioritize repairs (and) upgrades based on the degree of public usage," the grand jury report said. The grand jury said that funding, building or original construction of county buildings completed before the law was implemented "has complicated the issue of ADA improvements." Should the county receive a complaint for noncompliance, "corrective action becomes a high priority," the grand jury noted. The grand jury noted that $150,000 was allocated from the county's 2012-13 budget to seek out a service that would provide a selfevaluation and transition plan that would assess the county's compliance with Title II of the ADA and Title 24, Part 2 of the California Code of Regulations. The service would also create a detailed and up to date plan to address accessibility issues. The Tehama County board of supervisors on March 5 approved a contract with Disability Access Consultants, a national company, to provide such a service, the grand jury report said. The grand jury commended the county's efforts to comply with the ADA. The grand jury recommends that the county continue to improve and maintain parks in support of the ADA, and that future funding or budget allotment specifically for ADA compliance be established to prevent possible liability. The grand jury also recommends that after reviewing of the Disability Access Consultants report, county administration should create a plan to implement its findings. The plan should include funding and targets for completion. 1850 Continued from page 1A with pioneer bankers, shopkeepers, blacksmiths, carpenters, seamstresses and even gamblers, the Ide Adobe Players will be playing Gold Rush Era music while hardy pioneers dance the Virginia Reel. Park Interpreter Debbie Chakarun said that this year's program continues long-established traditions. "Costumed volunteers will be encouraging visitors to participate in many pioneer activities," Chakarun said. "Visitors are invited to make adobe bricks, candles, and cornhusk dolls. Girls can also get a rag curl in their hair and boys can visit the tonsorial for a shave. The blacksmith will have his apprentice blacksmiths busy at the forge." To help celebrate the event, historical vignettes will be taking place throughout the day along with performances by Madame Thompson and her Traveling Puppet Theater. Children will be encouraged to attend 1850s schooling sessions and will be invited to join in playing pioneer games. Breads and freshly churned butter, along with iced mint water will be served from the adobe kitchen. Sarsaparilla, 7A lemonade and ice cream will be offered for eagles — 1850s money. Judy Fessenden, president of the Ide Adobe Interpretive Association, said that her group will be selling hot dogs, chips and soft drinks in the park's picnic area.

"All proceeds from sales, donations and admissions will help support any future programs at Ide Adobe," Fessenden said.

(AP) — A federal judge has temporarily halted plans to release water from the Trinity River to protect Northern California salmon. The Fresno Bee says the judge in Fresno halted Tuesday's planned release and pushed it back to Friday so the court can have time to examine arguments by opponents. The federal government plans to release up to 100,000 acre-feet of water from a reservoir in the next few weeks to protect salmon in the Klamath River, downstream from the Trinity. A lawsuit filed by local water districts contends that the release would decrease the irrigation supply to farmers in the San Joaquin Valley, California's agribusiness heartland. Those in the nation's largest federal irrigation district say they desperately need the Trinity water to help deal with severe water shortages. COURT Continued from page 1A down the ballot measure as unconstitutional. On June 28, Gov. Jerry Brown ordered county clerks to begin issuing marriage licenses to samesex couples. Prop 8 supporters filed an emergency petition with the state Supreme Court arguing that the federal lawsuit at issue applied only to the two couple who filed it and to Alameda and Los Angeles counties, where they live. They claimed the marriage ban remained law in 56 counties since the federal lawsuit at issue wasn't a class action lawsuit on behalf of all California gay couples wishing to marry. U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker previously issued a sweeping opinion saying Prop 8 violated equal protection guarantees in the U.S. Constitution by denying the two California couples a chance to marry in the state. Prop 8 backers were briefly joined by San Diego County Clerk Ernest Dronenburg Jr., who filed a nearly identical legal challenge with the state Supreme Court last month urging an immediate halt to gay weddings. Dronenburg, however, withdrew his lawsuit last week, saying his challenge was too similar to that of Prop 8 backers to merit a separate legal bid. Family stranded at sea is back in Arizona PHOENIX (AP) — A family is back in Arizona after their attempt to relocate to a tiny island left them lost at sea for weeks. Sean Gastonguay told KTVKTV that his family's boat is gone — presumably at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. He said he now has to find work to repay the $10,000 that the family borrowed from the U.S. State Department to fly back from Chile. The family moved from Ash Fork, Ariz., to San Diego last year. They left there in May on a voyage for Kiribati to leave behind what they consider government interference in religion. Storms damaged their boat and left it adrift. ''The deck started separating from the hull, that was toward the end of it, the water would come in so we were constantly pumping and lots of stuff was getting damaged,'' Gastonguay told KTVK. However, Gastonguay said he believes his family was never in real danger and has been blessed with meeting many new friends. They made it to Chile after being picked up by a fishing vessel and transferred to a cargo ship. Gastonguay, his wife Hannah, daughters 3-year-old Ardith and newborn Rahab, and Sean's dad, Mike, were headed to the island nation of Kiribati. Kiribati is a group of islands just off the Equator and the international date line about halfway between Hawaii and Australia. The population is just over 100,000 people of primarily Micronesian descent. ''They say it's the least developed island so I figured undeveloped, less corruption,'' explained Gastonguay.
