Saturday, September 7, 2013 – Daily News Obituaries TABLE Continued from page 1A meals the daily program has served as a central meeting place for others wanting to help the needy. The county's Health Department regularly stops by to offer flu shots and other vaccinations. Sigler said occasionally the group of volunteers finds ways to help people in other ways besides the lunch. While the program is held at Vineyard, the Lord's Table is a collection of three churches. The Catholic Church sponsors Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Vineyard itself handles Thursday and North Valley Baptist Church organizes Fridays. Volunteers often show up around 10 a.m. to begin preparation for the meal service, which begins at noon. The group cleans up and tries to be out of the kitchen and cafeteria by 1:30 p.m. Vidaure said he has a solid group of volunteers although he's seeking cooks for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and other alternates who could fill in when someone gets sick or goes on vacation. Those that volunteer say it's rewarding to help someone receive what might be their only cooked meal in a day, but just to give them an hour to get 7A away from their troubles. "I think if you ask just about any of us that's something that we've been brought up (to do) and our church has taught us you have to help other people," Vidaure said. For more information about how to volunteer or help The Lord's Table, call Lee at 527-3617. Rich Greene can be reached at 527-2151, ext. 109 or rgreene@redbluffdailyne ws.com. BOB GWALTNEY Bob Gwaltney, 77, died August 30, 2013 in his home with his wife and children by his side. Bob was a family man, an avid water enthusiast, a devoted Christian, and a community leader. Bob left his mark, and will be sorely missed by all who were privileged enough to know him. Bob was a resident of Tehama County for 46 years. Bob is survived by his wife Louise "Toni" of 56-years, two brothers (Phil & Steve), four children (Bret, Tim, Mark, & Kori), seventeen grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his father (Walt), mother (Winnie), sister (Bettye), and grandson (Kurt). He served our country as a member of the Air National Guard of California and as a reservist in the Air Force while working for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, followed by a 28-year career with the California Highway Patrol. Bob retired from the CHP in 1992, and he served the community through his work with the Tehama County Sheriff's Department, and later as a volunteer and Division Commander with the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Bob Gwaltney's public service lasted from 1954 until his death in 2013. He was a true American, and a "man's man". From humble beginnings, he often worked two jobs, and Bob was not a stranger to manual labor. He built his own house and family farm with the help of his wife and young sons. He and his family later moved to 113-acres of bare land where they built a home and orchard. A memorial service was held on September 4 at the Veterans' Cemetery in Igo, California. He was remembered by his brothers and sisters in the Air Force, Highway Patrol, and Coast Guard, officiated by Pastor John Bohrer of Antelope Home Fellowship, Pastor Patrick Hurton of the CHP, and Division Commander Carl Pierce of the USCG Aux.

Abandoned horses found in Glenn County The Glenn County Sheriff's Office is investigating the apparent abandonment and abuse of two horses that were located below Alder Springs on Forest Highway 7 near Powderhouse Road, which is north and west of Elk Creek. Detective Greg Felton, working a special assignment on the west side of the County, was contacted Thursday around 3:15 p.m. by hunters in the area who reported two adult horses they had come across that were in very bad physical shape. Felton located the animals and notified Sergeant Todd James, supervisor of the Sheriff's Animal Control Unit. A rescue response was initiated. Around 5:30 p.m. County Service Officer Ben Niblack assisted by sheriff's employee Jill Hughes, temporarily assigned to animal control duties, had the two head of horses, both geldings, loaded in a trailer and enroute to the Glenn County Sheriff's Posse Rodeo grounds near Orland. The Posse had been contacted to assist and Posse members were waiting with water and feed. Both animals were extremely under nourished and had been without water for some time. Both animals, one bay and one sorrel, were not shod; however, both were well behaved and obviously had been someone's pets or trail-working animals. Neither horse had a brand or tattoo of any type. The sheriff's contract veterinarian was expected to inspect the animals Friday and provide any medical care they may require. The Sheriff's Posse will assist in caring for the two horses until they can be adopted out by proper means. The matter remains under investigation. Anyone with information regarding these horses is asked to call the Glenn County Sheriff's Office at 934-6431 and may remain anonymous. Legislature Briefing Bill aims to protect health insurance enrollees SACRAMENTO (AP) — Legislation that would protect people from identity theft when they seek health insurance though California's new exchange is on its way to Gov. Jerry Brown. AB1428 by Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway of Tulare would require background checks for Covered California employees who would have access to private applicant information. The Republican lawmaker says consumer protection should be as high a priority as access to affordable care. It passed the Assembly 68-0 Friday. The state insurance commissioner and consumer groups are concerned the new exchange that was set up under the federal Affordable Care Act is not doing enough to screen counselors. The exchange says it has adopted regulations to require fingerprinting and background checks for counselors. Officials also plan to monitor counselors using secret shoppers. a final vote. Republican Assemblywoman Shannon Grove of Bakersfield voted ''no,'' saying the bill does not do enough to consider victims' experiences. Bill would give youth offenders Bill to restore second chance SACRAMENTO (AP) transit funds — Criminals who are serving what amounts to a life sentence for offenses they committed as teenagers could get an opportunity for parole under a bill passed by the state Assembly. The measure by Democratic Sen. Loni Hancock of Berkeley would create a parole review process for cases where the offender was younger than 18 at the time of the offense and was prosecuted as an adult. SB620 would require those inmates to serve a lengthy minimum sentence before they would be allowed to prove they have been rehabilitated. The bill cleared the Assembly 51-21 Friday and heads back to the Senate for SACRAMENTO (AP) — The state Senate has taken the first step to retain $1.6 billion this year in federal transportation grants to California transit agencies. Senators passed a bill responding to an unintended consequence of last year's public pension reform law. A deal crafted by Democratic leaders responds to a finding by the U.S. Department of Labor that the law violates union members' collective bargaining rights by forcing them to contribute more to their retirement funds. AB1222 by Democratic Assemblymen Roger Dickinson of Sacramento and Richard Bloom of Santa Monica temporarily exempts public transit workers from contributing more to their retirement funds.
