Tuesday, county supervisors voted to increase fees and fines for dog and cat owners whose animals are picked up by the shelter. By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer Animal owners who do not keep an eye or a leash on their pets may face stricter fines when they pick up their friends at the Animal Care Center. In a unanimous vote Tuesday, Tehama County Supervisors agreed to raise charges on animal owners who come to pick up their lost dogs or cats and to increase the penalty for unlicensed dogs. The vote has no effect on adop- tion fees, which will remain unchanged at $20 per dog or cat, while spay-or-neuter deposits will be reduced for cats to $40, the low- est figure allowed by law. But if your animal gets loose and winds up back at the shelter, you will face a steeper tab. A dog will now cost twice as much at $40 and a cat four times more at $20. If your dog is unlicensed, the shelter will ask for another $50. If your animal is un-spayed or un-neutered, you will need to pony up another $35, then $50 on the sec- ond offense and $100 for each sub- sequent offense. Animal Services Director Rick Gurrola has previously stated the increase was necessary because shelter staffing costs had not been studied for years. ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdailynews.com.

Hector Leal Campos, 36, was driving a white Ford Explorer eastward around 4:20 a.m. when deputies pulled behind him on Corning Road. Campos reportedly respond- ed by turning off his headlights and crossing over into the incoming traffic lane. He then took off running without stopping the Explorer, leaving it to crash into a fence before it stopped in an open field, according to a press release from the TCSD. Campos reportedly ignored commands from deputies to stop and lay on the ground and was subsequently tased.

The event, which Owens co-founded with Norissa Harmon, has donated about $30,000 over the years to a variety of places from St. Elizabeth Community Hos- pital to the Women’s Heart Center and heart screenings at Shasta Regional Medical Center, Owens said. The regional heart screenings went to 150 local, low-income women, said Laurie McCarthy, an event director. For some of the women the screenings had a huge impact. “Their lives were saved because they had heart prob- lems and didn’t know it,” McCarthy said. “This year our focus is on women’s lives who have been inter- rupted by cancer. We’re dis- tributing funds to those organizations who provide support services for these women.” Services could be any- thing from nutritional and educational services to gas money to get to a chemo treatment, she said.

For those who have never shot before the event is a great chance to give the sport a try, said Director Lygia Rubright. “It’s a safe, comfortable environment,” Rubright said. McCarthy likens the experience to sisterhood and a great time for sharing through targeted spending cuts and a large dose of cre- ative accounting. The deal, reached late last week between Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the four Republican and Democratic leaders of the Assembly and Senate, does not contain new taxes or camaraderie. “There’s nothing better than being out with your girlfriends and having fun, even if you’ve never shot a gun before,” McCarthy said. “It’s something that builds confidence. What’s really neat is not only does this benefit women’s health, but women in general.” The event is allowing younger participants this fees. Instead, it relies on a series of assumptions and accounting shifts. For example, it would delay nearly $2 billion in payments to K-12 schools and community colleges until the next fiscal year. It also counts on the state receiving $5.3 billion from year with girls 16 and older allowed if they have a hunter safety certificate and parent permission. Raffles and prizes will be a part of the fun with a spe- cial auction package of a two-day, two-night shooting instruction for four ladies. Prizes will be awarded for Top Gun, Top Shooter and possibly Top Jr. Shooter.
