MANSION Continued from page 1A “You meet just really great people who become a part of your lives,” Kremer said. One such friend, Shirley Holmes, comes every year to help Kremer get the house ready since 1981, she said. The house was first owned by Mary Cone Runyan Wheeler, built in 1906 in the Craftsman style, and includes an Inglenook fireplace, Kremer said. The house was built on land amongst the 2,500 acres Wheeler inherited from her father, Joseph Cone for whom the Cone-Kimball Tower was named, between Aramayo Way and the Sacramento River. Originally called The Sycamores for the trees around it by Wheeler, the house was called “The Man- sion” by the locals, Kremer said. Wheeler, who was living in San Francisco at the time of the great earthquake in 1906, built the residence in Los Molinos to be as earthquake and fire proof as she could make it, Kremer said. The foundation was built with 11-inch-thick concrete walls and housed a old railroad tanker used as a 500-gal- lon water tank attached to a fire hose, which hangs today on the second floor, in addition to having four fire mains at different corners of the building, Kremer said. This year will see a few new additions to the vendor family, including Dian and Dale Ryder, who will be selling and signing a cookbook of recipes from the for- mer Corning restaurant D2. Jean Sweet will have mosaic art along with stenciled dish towels, soaps and ornaments for sale. Rita Twiford and her daughter Carla will be selling homemade breads, candies and jellies. Other items include wooden ornaments and pictures, knitted and crocheted items, dressed santas, animals and other decorative items, homemade signs, wreaths and angel pins. A cookbook with many of the items available to eat at the boutique will be sold to offset the cost of the rental fee for vendors. The cookbooks will be num- bered and certain numbers have been marked to win a door prize. The boutique will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the mansion, 25076 Sycamore St. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com. 4 stolen Redding show dogs reunited with owners in LA LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies have recov- ered the last of four Redding show dogs who were inside a cargo van that was stolen this week in Los Angeles County. Detectives say a pair of Pembroke corgis named Bunny and Peter were found safe Wednesday night in Compton. The van and a pair of purebred Akitas were found in the community earlier in the day. The van was stolen from a motel parking lot in Bell- flower late Monday or early Tuesday. Detectives said they believed the van, not the dogs, were the target of the theft, even though the dogs were worth an estimated $500,000. Dog owners David Peek and Kristina Rickard, of Red- ding, were in town to take part in a weekend dog show. No arrests have been made in the case. Court says parents can force schools to provide PE SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A California appeals court says parents can force public schools to provide state-mandated physical education. Elementary schools are required by the Education Code to offer 200 minutes of physical education every 10 days. The minutes double for middle and high schools. The San Francisco Chronicle says Tuesday’s ruling in Sacramento could be troublesome for financially- strapped school districts, noting a survey years ago showed more than half failed to meet the state require- ment. Tuesday’s 3-0 state Court of Appeal ruling over- turned a Sacramento trial judge’s decision in an east bay Albany school district case. A parent sued the district to force it to offer the required physical education, but the judge ruled the state rule was advisory and not a requirement. The judge also ruled a parent had no standing to force enforcement of the law. The annual Holiday Social was held early Thursday evening just south of the Job Training Center, which hosts the event.

Another three-car colli- sion happened about two hours later just a few miles north of the scene of the afternoon crash. Around 5:11 p.m., a car that had missed a turn onto Electric Avenue slowed and was hit by the car following it. A third car ran into that car. Those involved suf- fered moderate to minor injuries. Sgt. Drake said, with wet weather, people need the VFW Auxiliary 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both today and Saturday. There will be about 40 vendors outside on Solano Street with a vari- ety of items for shoppers and free carriage rides will be given noon to 4 p.m. The parking lot next to the cham- ber office will host activities, including pony rides for children and prizes for games, Cardenas said. Other activities include an open house at Edward Jones, a set of six vendors inside Fountain of Health and a pottery exhibit, she said. PremierWest Bank will be hold- Brown wants to do first is to make sure everyone is working from the same set of facts of what the prob- lem is, how big the prob- lem is and how we got here,’’ Clifford said. Clifford said Brown’s forum is intended to be the first in a series of meet- ings. The forums would follow through on his campaign pledge in call- ing for a ‘‘grand civic dia- logue’’ that will include people from throughout the state and all socio-eco- nomic backgrounds to talk about what California’s spending priorities should be. So far, state lawmakers from both sides of the aisle appear to be recep- tive to Brown, who is returning to the governor’s seat after three decades. Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, and Senate Minority Leader Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, are among those planning to attend.

Some Democratic law- makers have indicated they would rather wait for Brown to be sworn in Jan. 3 rather than take up Schwarenegger’s propos- als. Schwarzenegger’s spokesman Aaron McLear said to expect ‘‘ugly cuts’’ as the governor makes one final attempt to balance the state budget before leaving office. Dessert before dinner downtown
