Several mothers have pictures of two of their sons in the window. Mrs. Bess Werlhof has all three of her sons in the service. Any bonds we can buy are a small sacrifice alongside of hers. *** Once in a while someone sings a song that makes a deep impression on its listeners. We had such an experience Sunday morning at the Baptist Church when Everest Smith, who had been injured in a mine accident several years ago, pushed his wheelchair up to the front of choir and sang, very beautifully, "Stranger of Galilee". For those of you who do not know the words to the song, it has to do with Christ healing the blind and the lame. When he had finished singing, there were many moist eyes in the congregation. *** On a trip to Los Angeles, we saw some of the darndest get- ups worn by women downtown in broad daylight. Some were wearing shorts, bathing suits, overalls, pajamas; anything seems to go for afternoon street wear. The payoff was a woman with pure white hair, suntan make up, bright green pajamas, a red tie and a zebra striped coat. Everything down here is Spanish style. Houses have Spanish architecture and streets have Spanish names. The climate here must be similar to that of Spain. Of course the proximity to Mexico could be the deciding factor. Went to Sid Grauman's Chinese Theater where most of the film premiers are held. Lots of famous movie stars have their hand and footprints placed in wet cement in front of the theater. Gloria Swanson and Jeanette McDonald had very tiny feet. Joe E. Brown and Clark Gable did not. Marion Davies had been there the longest…over 10 years. We drove through Santa Monica, Malibu Beach, Wilmington, Santa Ana. The whole country is one solid city! We drove 100 miles without ever seeing a city limits sign. No wonder southern California elects most of the state officers. *** We took a side trip to Catalina Island and were informed, during the 16 minute flight, that our plane was a Douglas Dolphin Amphibian, has dual controls, a little wing on top to assist on lift, is built of Duralumin, has 9 foot propellers and two Pratt and Whitney Wasps type nine cylinder radial motors…all this apparently to install confidence in the 12 passengers.

TONY JANE DAHL September 19, 1945 ~ January 20, 2014 Tony Jane Dahl went to be with our Lord on January 20, 2014 in Red Bluff, California at the age of 68. She was married to Curt Dahl of Red Bluff, CA and de- voted her life to our Lord, her family and the Christian Motorcyclist Association. Tony's journey began in New Mexico and traveled according to her heart to be at and do things that many said she could not do. Her love of life and life's adventures was the foundation for her and those who knew her. Tony had a son Samuel, daughters Tommy, Jackie and Bobby and Granddaughter s Nikki and Miranda and Step- daughter Samantha Dahl. A Great- grandson Micah. As a member of the Christian Motorcyclist Association, Tony spread the word of God to many that would other- wise be without the Lord in their lives. Tony was a fixture in her church and in her family. Even with her journey involving Hospice her main con- cern was the people in her life she was leaving behind. Her pain is now gone and her new life with Jesus has now begun. This was always her goal as she lived within His word and as she shared her love with so many. Her sense of humor still brings smiles to those she has come in contact with. She blessed so many lives.

Others suggested the advisory status would allow supervisors to vote any way they wanted. Those calls came despite super- visors Dennis Garton, Sandy Bruce and Bob Williams, all up for re-elec- tion on the same June ballot, saying their future vote on an official Dec- laration of Support would be tied to what the electorate voted for. "My position is whatever the vot- ers want," Garton said. Some in attendance said they couldn't trust politicians because of President Obama and that all they had was the supervisors' word. Garton became infuriated at such accusations at one point in the meet- ing. "I'm not going to sit up here and have someone call me a liar in pub- lic," Garton said. He addressed Chairman Steve Chamblin, asking for the speaker to be removed or continue on the topic of the ballot measure. After the board unanimously passed placing the measure on the ballot, Bruce also spoke up about the accusations. Bruce said she has only served on the board for 10 months and that time period is too short for anyone to insinuate she is a liar. "You're just going to have to wait and watch me do it," she said of her future vote being tied to the elec- tion's outcome. Supervisor Burt Bundy previous- ly voted against moving the ballot measure forward, because he was ready to cast his vote in favor of the declaration, and urged Jefferson proponents to make a good case on the pro ballot measure side that would be submitted to the clerk. Garton also asked for the propo- nents to make a strong case. Chamblin was asked directly whether he would tie his individual vote to the public vote. He said there are many times when he doesn't make a decision or vote based on his own ideas, but rather to assert the will of the peo- ple. One woman pressed the board to set an example for other Northern California counties by discarding the advisory measure. She said supervisors in other counties would be free to vote in whatever way they wanted if they followed Tehama's example. Chamblin said he was only con- cerned with representing Tehama County and his district. Those who spoke Tuesday in regards to a reason to support the separation from the state focused on the lack of representation in Sacra- mento and Washington. One woman said those against the Jefferson movement just needed to be educated more about its bene- fits. A few people spoke against the ballot measure simply on the idea the Jefferson movement was a bad idea. One woman said she would pay $5,000 to keep it off the ballot. Another woman said she repre- sented people who don't show up to meetings in matching shirts with logos on them, referencing the green State of Jefferson shirts many in attendance had on. The woman said there are a more people like her, who are concerned with the pressure being placed on the supervisors to decide without the voice of their constituents. A third woman said the change wouldn't necessarily make things better and that she feared the North State would become even poorer if moved forward with the idea. She questioned where funding for public and higher education would come from. Rich Greene can be reached at 527-2151, ext. 109 or rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com.

The effort to bring the information line to Tehama County began five years ago, and Jackson said contributions made by First 5 Tehama, Tehama County Deputy Sheriff's Association, Dignity Health and others aided in providing the $30,000 needed to launch the service. Organizers and com- munity members on Tues- day joined together in Red Bluff for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the launch of the county's 2-1-1 ser- vice. "I'm overwhelmed by the number of people that showed up," Jackson said. "It just shows that we've built gradually for four years, getting the word out. People know what it is, there seems to be some excitement about it com- ing. The board of supervi- sors, the city, and every- one have been really sup- portive. It's just extremely gratifying to see so many people here helping with it." In 2012, according to 211us.org, 2-1-1 services in the U.S. answered more than 15.8 million calls. The information line is available to 80 percent of the population nationwide. "Orle Jackson is a very humble, behind-the- scenes brilliant person, and he was the driving force behind this that pulled everything together and made it happen," said Lupe Green, who is a Corning Healthcare Dis- trict board member and advisory board chair- woman for Northern Val- ley Catholic Social Ser- vice. Jackson, who also cred- ited Tehama Together board member Gail Locke for spearheading the effort to bring 2-1-1 to the coun- ty, said work has started to raise $20,000 for the con- tinuation of the program. "We're going to be ask- ing service groups and businesses and so on to keep us in mind," he said. Continued from page 1A 2-1-1 upon a child Monday. The jury was hung on one count. Each of the convicted counts car- ries a state prison term of up to eight years. Smith was also charged with spe- cial allegations alleging that he committed sexual offenses against multiple minor victims. The special allegations carry additional terms of 15 years to life imprisonment. "While testifying on his own behalf, Smith acknowledged know- ing the victims in the current case but denied engaging in any sexual conduct with them. Smith also denied his guilt in his two previous convictions; offering that he had pled guilty on the previous occa- sions as he wanted to protect the victims there." The victims, now both 18, testi- fied. They told the jury that they were family friends of Smith's daughter. Each victim explained how Smith took advantage of his position of trust by sexually abusing them at a young age, the press release said. "Both victims who testified in the case were very strong, determined, young women who wanted nothing more than justice in this matter," Cohen said. "Neither victim was scornful or appeared vindictive. They only wanted justice to pre- vail." Tehama County Sheriff's Sgt. Richard Knox, who investigated the crime, also testified on behalf of the prosecution. The case was presented at trial by Deputy District Attorney James Waugh. Judge John Garaventa presided over the trial. The jury went into deliberations Friday, broke for the weekend, and reached its verdict Monday morn- ing. Smith's sentencing is scheduled for March 17.

Over the course of the entire weekend, Tahoe City received 6.3 inches of precipitation. It was enough to push the amount of precipitation as measured in Tahoe City to more than an inch above average for the month of February, meaning anything else that comes this month could be considered as a bonus.
