New Year’s Eve fireworks leads Red Bluff man to jail A Red Bluff man who began his 2011 celebration with a fireworks show ended up spending his New Year’s with a trip to the county jail. At 12:10 a.m., Saturday, deputies were sent to the area of Belle Mill Road for reports of shots fired. Checking the area, deputies saw aeri- al fireworks being shot from the north end of Lindauer Lane. Deputies made contact with Randy Lee Simonson, 57, who admitted to launching the illegal fireworks. When a deputy tried to get Simon- son’s identification for a routine war- rants check Simonson fled on foot into his garage, according to a Tehama County Sheriff’s Department press release.

She was 97. Affordable Mortuary is han- dling the arrangements. Published Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2011 in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. BIDS Continued from page 1A Committee member for the National Sheriff’s Associa- tion, he has seen a lot of firsts in political action and helped bring grant money into the county, he said. Focusing on prevention and intervention, instead of incarceration, he has initiat- ed programs to help teach children and teenagers ways to avoid getting involved in crime. Parker could be one of those guys with a two-page resume. A career spanning some 35 years in public ser- vice — there aren’t many positions he hasn’t filled in law enforcement. Sometime after going to high school in Durham, Parker started his career in the military in 1975. He was a military police investigator in the US Army. From there he worked up the chain of command in Tehama Coun- ty from deputy to detective to sergeant to commander to captain within the Sheriff’s office. A fifth-generation law- man, Parker served three terms as sheriff. Since 2007, he has also assumed the role of county coroner. A highlight of his career came when he got a call from a DNA lab in 2002. He paused in disbelief when the California Department of Justice specialist told him there had been a positive match identifying a suspect for the cold-case murder of a 13-year-old Portola girl named Heidi Fredette, he said. Parker had been the deputy in 1984 who was sharp divisions that leave our politics in perpetual gridlock, but only if we reach into our hearts and find that loyalty, that devo- tion to California above and beyond our narrow perspectives,’’ he said. Brown’s inauguration was a scaled-down affair, reflecting the austerity of the former Jesuit seminar- ian and Buddhism student. Brown’s speech lasted about 15 minutes, and the only other speaker listed on the one-page program was his wife. Brown’s style contrasts with that of past gover- nors, some of whom held inaugural balls after their swearing-in ceremony. Schwarzenegger even threw himself what he called a ‘‘wrap party’’ last month, complete with some of his Hollywood buddies. Even during Brown’s first term as governor, he preached an era of limits, saying government cannot deliver everything people expect from it. He lived that philosophy himself, ditching the governor’s mansion for a sparsely fur- nished apartment and dri- ving a Plymouth instead of riding in a limousine. After voters rejected an $18-a-year license fee last year to stabilize state park funding, Brown declared that Californians were ‘‘in called out to the scene when the girl’s body was found in Paynes Creek off Highway 36. As Sheriff, he was able to see the murder solved and the man responsible con- victed 19 years later. “That’s one you’ll never forget,” Parker said. Around the office, things will be different. Patty Young, Parker’s administrative secretary has worked with him since she started in the department part-time in 1988. “He’s always been a great boss,” she said. “He has the ability to look at both sides of a situation thoroughly.” Young said she admires Parker’s, and his wife Lily’s, positive attitude and love that they have put into pub- lic service. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a sheriff that ever put so Simonson closed the automatic garage door in an effort to keep the deputy from accessing the garage. Simonson then collected the box of illegal fireworks from the garage and tried to conceal them in the resi- dence. As the deputy tried to detain Simonson for further investigation, Simonson became combative and physically resisted being handcuffed. Simonson pushed the deputy sev- eral times during the encounter before the deputy was able to take him into custody, the release said. Simonson was booked into Tehama County Jail on the felony charge of resisting an executive officer by force with bail set at $25,000. — Staff report no mood to add to their burdens.’’ Yet his press aides have not quashed speculation that Brown will try to call a special election this spring to extend a set of temporary tax hikes approved in 2009. Brown said he would not raise taxes without voter approval, but will need some Republican help to reach the two-thirds leg- islative vote necessary to place any tax or fee mea- sure on the ballot. Brown responded to reporters’ questions about a possible special election as he left the auditorium. ‘‘I’ll confer with the legislative leaders, and we’ll work something out that makes sense, but we don’t have a lot of time and we’ve gotta cover a lot of ground,’’ Brown said before heading into his nearby rented loft. Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Visalia, has said mem- bers of her party will fight any effort to raise taxes. Schwarzenegger took shots at lawmakers early in his term. He once referred to them as ‘‘girlie men’’ for refusing, in his eyes, to make tough deci- sions before eventually finding a way to negotiate. ‘‘I found both men to be very open, very resolved and charming,’’ Conway said. ‘‘And they’ll need that.’’ The new governor will release his budget propos- al for the coming fiscal much into the community,” she said. Hosler recalled many times that the Parkers would forego going out with friends to study penal codes and laws at home. “I’d be making plans for dinner, but he’d be going to meetings, all meetings he didn’t have to go to,” Hosler said. He was always trying to do the right thing, he said. year next Monday, when he is expected to deliver voters a series of stark choices. He said his bud- gets would not contain ‘‘smoke and mirrors,’’ an apparent reference to spending plans signed by Schwarzenegger over the past few years that often contained accounting gim- micks and unrealistic rev- enue assumptions. He promised his ver- sion would be painful. ‘‘It’s a tough budget for tough times,’’ he said. Brown already has held meetings with lawmakers and state finance officials and held town hall ses- sions in Sacramento and Los Angeles to discuss the health of California’s finances and public school system. Brown is the son of for- mer two-term governor Edmund G. Brown and has spent a lifetime in pol- itics, including terms as the secretary of state, attorney general and mayor of Oakland. His years practicing Buddhism in Japan and working with Mother Teresa in India may come in handy as he tries to bro- ker deals with dug-in law- makers, many of whom are eyeing their next office with every vote they take. He preached a spirit of bipartisanship but also said he would not have patience for those who draw lines in the sand. ‘‘At this stage of my life, I’ve not come here to embrace delay and For the next few working days, Parker will be starting to pack up his office — the wall full of plaques, a stuffed rattlesnake, a bob- ble-head Barack Obama — and saying his farewells. Future plans are low-key. He plans on working around the house, getting to all those things his wife has asked him to do that never got done, he said.

Tehama County Sheriff’s deputies found Thomas Alvin Marshall had received a single stab wound on his abdomen. Marshall told deputies he had received the wound while trying to break up a fight at a large party. Charges are pending for assault with a deadly weapon.

Brown’s wife, a key adviser during his cam- paign, is expected to play a leading role in his administration. His 98- year-old aunt, Connie Carlson, who was attend- ing her fifth inaugural cer- emony, said the two make a great team. ‘‘California really lucked out this time,’’ Carlson said. Brown becomes only the second person to serve three terms as California governor. His tenure as the 34th governor, from 1975 to 1983, was before voter- imposed term limits. During his previous two terms, Brown was criticized for being dis- tracted by his continual pursuit of higher office. He sought the Democratic presidential nominations in 1976 and 1980, then lost a bid for U.S. Senate in 1982. This time around, he said he’s too old to run for higher office. Brown later hosted guests at his Capitol office, briefly stepping outside to grab a hot dog and pose for photographs during a union-sponsored event on the lawn. A late-afternoon recep- tion was planned for the California Railroad Muse- um in the Old Sacramento tourist section, but adviser Steven Glazer said all inaugural festivities were expected to cost less than $100,000. relax. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailynew s.com.
