He resisted as officers placed him under arrest for misdemeanor resisting and delaying a peace officer. A search located meth - amphetamine on Cervantes, which led to an additional charge of felony possession of a controlled substance. Cervantes was placed in a parol car as officers searched his vehicle. During that search Cer - vantes broke out of the left rear window. Cervantes was shack- led with leg restrains and moved to another vehicle where he threw himself to the ground, yelling and kick - ing officers. Neighbors in a nearby residence witnessed the ac- tions. As Cervantes was be- ing transported to Tehama County Jail along Interstate 5 he started spitting on the transporting officer. A spit hood device was then placed on his head un - til he reached jail, where he was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, obstruction and misdemeanors of battery of a peace officer, obstruction and vandalism. His bail was $61,000. A seat-belt violation was not listed on his arrest re - cord. Couple arrested A Corning man and woman were arrested for stolen property and narcot- ics possession Wednesday morning at Rolling Hills Casino. Police were able to find the suspects through a GPS locator that was a part of the property the pair stole. Corning police officers had been dispatched to the area of Fig Lane and Mar - guerite Avenue in regards to the theft of electronics from a vehicle, according to a de- partment press release. Officers tracked the prop- erty using a GPS locator to the casino and located sub- jects trying to flee the prem- ises. The subjects were de- tained and provided infor- mation regarding the loca- tion of the stolen iPod, which was eventually returned to the owner. During the course of the investigation Jade Cheyenne Perozzi, also known by the last name Bunn, a 31-year- old Corning woman, was found to be in possession of 11.3 grams of methamphet - amine and other drug par- aphernalia. B r a n d o n J e f f r e y Glaunert, 28 of Corning, was found to be in posses - sion of metal knuckles, 11.6 grams of heroin and other drug paraphernalia. Both were booked at Te - hama County Jail. Perozzi was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor parapher - nalia. She has outstanding charges of misdemeanor failure to appear and driv- ing on a suspended license. Her bail was $21,000. Glaunert was charged with felony possession of narcotics with the purpose for sale, possession of metal knuckles and misdemeanor paraphernalia. His bail was $41,000. Spitting From Page 1 Deputies learned Jo - livette had removed his pa- role-issued ankle monitor GPS unit. Jolivette is on parole for breaking into a Red Bluff apartment and sexually as - saulting a 15-year-old girl in 2007. Following the assault Jo- livette, who was 18 at the time, was sentenced to a year in Tehama County Jail with time served and five years of probation. Then Assistant District Attorney Jonathan Skillman said Jolivette had watched his victim from a stairwell while drinking before he broke into the girl's bedroom through an unlocked sliding glass door. The 15-year-old girl awoke to him touching her. Jolivette pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary with a person present and to child molestation. Tehama County Superior Court Judge Dennis Murray, who handed down the sen - tence, said he was following the recommendation of the probation department and the California Department of Corrections, but he was re - luctant to do so because he said the crime was so egre- gious. In May 2008 Jolivette was convicted of another sexual assault. In that case Jolivette in - vited the victim and three girls to stay at this house, as they were intoxicated. The girls went inside the defendant's home and fell asleep. The victim awoke to the defendant sexually mo - lesting her as she slipped in and out of consciousness. Jolivette pleaded guilty to oral copulation with a mi - nor and sexual penetration by a foreign object with a minor. He was sentenced to seven years, four months in state prison and one year in Tehama County Jail as a re - sult of that case and violat- ing his previous parole. The Tehama County Sher- iff's Office wants the public to be on the lookout for Jo- livette and if anyone knows of his location to contact lo- cal law enforcement. There is an outstanding warrant for Jolivette's ar- rest for a parole violation. Court records show it was filed Feb. 28. Jolivette pled no contest to driving under the influ - ence in Jaunary, but did not show up for sentencing. Searching From Page 1 about trees, something he loved from his home state of Michigan, but which weren't nearly as prevalent in the Great Plains. Morton's advocacy for trees led to the governor establishing Arbor Day as a s ta te h ol id ay . The Arbor Day Foun - dation estimated 1 million trees were planted in Ne- braska for that first cele- bration. Other states and es- pecially schools soon began adopting Arbor Day and hol- idays have been set in vari- ous states, differing in dates because of growing seasons. The national Arbor Day is traditionally set for the last Friday in April. In California, one day wouldn't do, and the state celebrates Arbor Week, this year March 7-14. The Los Molinos students left school Thursday with that history and seedlings to plant in their own yards. Arbor Week seedlings and handout materials were made possible through do - n at ion s f r om A D m a n , Corning Rabobank, Corn- ing Lumber, Crane Mills, Jim Froome, Corning Les Schwab Tires, Louisiana- Pacific Corporation, Corn - ing AmericanWest Bank, P r it ch a rd T i mb er Co., Jones Logging, Sierra-Pa- cif ic Foundation, Sierra Pacif ic Industries, John Wheeler Logging and Wul- fert and Co. The program is also sup- ported by the California De- partment of Forestry and Fire Protection and The Forest Foundation. Trees From Page 1 Staff reports SaCrameNTo » The Bureau of Reclamation and the Te- hama-Colusa Canal Author- ity have released for a 20- day public review a draft Environmental Assessment Initial Study and draft Mit - igated Negative Declaration on the effects of proposed water transfers from willing sellers to buyers in the Sac - ramento Valley. The TCCA is a Joint Power Author- ity comprised of 17 Central Valley Project water con- tractors. This draft EA/IS ana- lyzes transfers of Central Valley Project water through CVP facilities and trans- fers of non-CVP water sup- plies that require the use of CVP facilities. The water would be made available for transfer through a combina - tion of cropland idling and groundwater substitution. The transfers could origi- nate in Colusa, Glenn, Sac- ramento, Shasta, Sutter, Te- hama or Yolo counties. The transfer buyers could be in Colusa, Glenn, Tehama, or Yolo counties. While the 2014 water year, which extends from October 1, 2013, through September 30, is only partially com - plete, the hydrologic condi- tions so far have been crit- ically dry. These conditions are worsened by the dry condi- tions statewide in 2012 and 2013, which affected reser- voir storage coming into wa- ter year 2014. With severe dry hydrologic conditions and low water allocations, there is a need for water contractors to supplement local and imported supplies to meet demands. The purpose of the Pro - posed Action is to facilitate the transfer of water from willing sellers to buyers that are experiencing water shortages in 2014. Other transfers not in - volving the TCCA could oc- cur during the same time period. The Bureau of Rec- lamation and the San Luis & Delta Mendota Water Au- thority are releasing a sepa- rate EA/IS to analyze trans- fers from a very similar list of sellers to the SLDMWA Member Units. These two documents ref lect different potential buyers for the same water sources; that is, the sellers have only the amounts of wa - ter listed in the EA/IS avail- able for transfer, but the wa- ter could be purchased by TCCA or SLDMWA mem- bers. The draft EA/IS was de- veloped to meet require- ments of the National En- vironmental Policy Act and the California Environmen- tal Quality Act.

SeNTeNCiNgS Court Round-Up throughout the North State, is now a concern is because of a change in criteria. "The numbers aren't any worse than they were 20 to 30 years ago," Lebeouf said. "The problem is the stan - dards. The criteria dropped from 50 micrograms per li- ter down to 10." He said boron, which is naturally occurring, is a concern on the east side of Red Bluff and toward Los Molinos. "This is primarily a con - cern for plants," Lebeouf said. "Boron is pretty toxic to plums and to walnuts." However, all is not lost. "The sky is not falling in groundwater," Lebeouf said. "It's generally pretty good. Except there are places where it is a problem, such as the areas where you have a lot of septic systems, a lot of fertilizers being used, livestock operations." The Antelope area here, for instance, "has bad ni - trates," Lebeouf said. "But when you compare it to the Southern Valley, it's a lot better than it is down there," he said. He added that the Depart - ment of Water Resources doesn't go out looking for problems. Sometimes, prob- lems are found, and those are handed off to regulatory agencies. Lebeouf said that ground - water operations are gener- ally unregulated. "Groundwater, for some reason, is really not regu- lated by the state of Califor- nia," he said. "It's ... a local concern. A lot of it is a rem- nant of the early 1900s when a lot of farmers at the time didn't want anything to do with the state."
