"I just show up and try not to hurt anything," he said. So far, the choir has gathered an average of about 10 people per week. While Stephens said the choir has so far exceeded any expectations the students had since the program's inception, Beverley Williams said the Red Bluff Rock Choir is mainly attracting people who already attend Freedom Church.

Chairman Steve Chamblin said purchasing the property would create a future buffer zone from the proposed jail expansion at the library and that it remains a good time to purchase property. That's not to say the county is moving forward with buying the property. Supervisor Bob Williams said he wasn't about to fall on his sword over the idea, but said it would be a nice property to acquire if the price was right.

Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin said he would have to figure out where to get the money to purchase the Madison property. The Antelope property would be paid for through AB 109 funds administered by the Community Corrections Partnership. The asking price for that location is around $400,000. Chief Probation Officer Richard Muench said it would cost an additional $250,000 to transform the site into a Day Reporting Center, although inmate labor could be used for some of the work. Goodwin said he believed it would take considerably more work than that to make the building suitable for use. The county will need a facility somewhere in the next six months to house the Day Reporting Center as the Administrative Office of the Courts has acquired its existing site and will soon begin construction of the new Tehama Superior Court.

The California Public Employees' Retirement System announced Monday that its overall portfolio grew by 16.2 percent last year. The performance more than doubled CalPERS' official forecast of 7.5 percent and showed an improvement over the 13.3 percent the pension fund earned in 2012, the Sacramento Bee reported.

"Time is of the essence." Goodwin was a few minutes late to the meeting, having returned from a day in Sacramento. He brought what appeared to be good news in that Gov. Jerry Brown is seriously considering adding another $500 million to SB 1022 funding. The SB 1022 funds are being used to pay for state prison realignment projects across the state, including Tehama County's proposed permanent Day Reporting Center and jail expansion. The county is scheduled to receive a little more than $6 million of the $20 million it requested for the project. Goodwin said the news in Sacramento was "very, very encouraging" that Tehama could get a full reward with the new round of funding. If the governor added $700 million in funding to SB 1022 it would cover every project proposed.

THE PASSING PARADE (From a Dave Minch I Say column circa 1942) Our Oakland salesman said he could sell a lot of horse meat in the bay area if we slaughtered horses*. There is no question that beef will soon be unobtainable for civilian use. One of our former customers, who was driven out of the meat jobbing business because of his inability to purchase beef, opened up a horse meat butcher shop on Sixth Street and his place has been jammed ever since. He imported horse meat from Nevada which was not killed under any kind of inspection, and advertising it as meat for dog owners. Federal agencies soon discovered people were eating the meat themselves so now horse meat must be ground up with charcoal before selling it. However, his sales are greater than ever. *Father opened a horse plant, killed 7 horses and then shut it down as his heart was not in it. *** While on our way to the San Francisco, we passed a trailer park and Evelyn wondered how there could be much spirit of Christmas in those tiny trailers, especially if they contained two adults and several children. *** (From a later column of his in the early 1960's, worth a reprint) When I die, it is possible that the majority of people who knew me would say "The darn fool always had enough money to live on, but he worked himself to death trying to get more". That would not be true for several reasons. Most of the talk nowadays is about a shorter work week and retiring at a younger age to enjoy living. I think the normal man, if in good health, would quickly tire of sleeping late, fishing and golf as a way to keep passing time. There is a satisfaction in accomplishing things that could not possibly be equaled by sitting around and waiting to pass on. I enjoy creating jobs, hiring men, seeing them buy homes and raise families and live as respected members of their community. And the greatest reason I leave for lasts…that of the joy of working. I always feel sorry for the man who watches the clock or looks forward to retirement. Even if he is doing work for which he is not fitted, or else does not enjoy working at all. I cannot remember a morning that I did not look forward to getting up and going to work with pleasure. This includes working as a cattle car cleaner for the Southern Pacific yard at Gerber, working for O'Connor Brothers a laborer and working in a peach orchard for 30 cents an hour. Among the most enjoyable periods of my life was when I was working for the Standard Oil Company six days, one night; working for the Elks Club for six nights and one day…and collected for the Examiner and Chronicle and Sacramento Bee in between. Enjoying your work means you would rather be doing your work than any other form of entertainment or relaxation. 5530 Mountain View Drive, Redding CA 96033.
