Superior Court Latest cases By rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter CorninG » Three youth were arrested for varying accusations of burglary, vandalism, conspiracy and resisting arrest Tuesday afternoon after they report - edly broke into a Chestnut Street residence. Corning police officers were dispatched to the 400 block of Chestnut Street around 3 p.m. for a report of vandalism in progress, according to a department press release. Officers arrived to hear the sound of breaking glass and other loud noises from inside the residence. After observing broken windows on the back side of the residence officers found three juveniles inside. One of the juveniles took off running through the res - idence in an attempt to es- cape, but was apprehended shortly after. All three juveniles were taken into custody and booked at the Tehama County Juvenile Detention Center. Damage to the residence consisted of 10 broken light fixtures, eight broken win - dows, four broken doors, 23 holes in interior walls, a broken toilet bowl cover, a knocked-over refrigera- tor that was dented, a dam- aged kitchen stove and a destroyed wooden parti- tion wall. Crime 3 youth arrested aer vandalism 10 light fixtures, 8 windows, 4 doors broken in home on Chestnut Street there is a lesson that all of us should take from South- ern California. Twenty five years ago they had 300,000 acre-feet of storage south of the Tehachapi Mountains. Today they have 3 million acre-feet of storage," and the reservoirs are full, Ga - ramendi said. While people within Cal- ifornia argue the merits of a $50 billion-plus twin tun- nels project around the delta, half that amount could build multiple stor- age projects, both surface and groundwater, Gara- mendi said. The estimated cost of the Sites Reservoir is $2.5 bil- lion. LaMalfa agreed that now is the time to move forward for Sites, which could po - tentially store 1.9 million acre-feet of water, with an annual yield of 500,000 acre-feet. The drought has empha - sized the need for water storage, he said. One acre-foot of water, 325,851 gallons, is enough to cover one acre of land at one foot deep, or provide the daily needs of a family of four for a year. Lewis Bair, manager of Reclamation District 108, is a key player in the Sites JPA. At this point, the group is talking to poten - tial investors to see what would work best as far as operation, and how the wa- ter could best be used. It might be that water is needed at times of severe drought. Or, water districts might need a steady supply each year. Depending on who is interested in invest - ing, and how the reservoir would be operated, details about financing could be ironed out, Bair explained. For decades, state lead - ers have looked at the Sites location for a reser- voir. Others options on the list include raising Shasta Dam, increasing the size of San Luis Reservoir and building storage at Tem- perance Flat. Proponents of Sites see the mid-state location as ideal to provide better op - eration of Oroville and Shasta lakes. For example, during heavy rains, state and federal water opera - tors need to release water from storage in case more heavy rain or snowmelt ar- rives. If Sites was online, water could be released up-river and stored, rather than flow to the ocean, ex - plained Thad Bettner, man- ager of Glenn-Colusa Irri- gation District, and a mem- ber of the Sites JPA. Also, when cold water is released from reservoirs for fish, that water could be stored near Maxwell, he said. The water storage cur - rently taking place for the community of Folsom could be helped by the existence of Sites, he continued. Bair said the bill in - troduced by Garamendi and LaMalfa is an impor- tant step. If things go well, planning for Sites Reser- voir could be done in two years, followed by five years of construction and two years for the water to fill the 14,000-acre footprint. Water would come from the Sacramento River, as well as the Tehama Colusa and Glenn-Colusa canal systems. During a tour of the val - ley, which is green from re- cent rains, Bettner said there are about 10 house- holds, with land owned by about 80 families. Resi- dents know the plans for the valley, Bettner said. W hile not ever yone is thrilled with the reservoir that would dramatically change their lives, they want to know one way or another, and sooner rather than late, he said.

Sites From paGe 1 The Associated Press neW YorK » In surprise testimony in a Manhat- tan courtroom Wednesday, Osama bin Laden's son-in- law recounted the night of the Sept. 11 attacks, when the al-Qaida leader sent a messenger to drive him into a mountainous area for a meeting in Afghanistan. The testimony ca me at Abu Ghaith's trial on charges he conspired to kill Americans and aid al-Qaida as a spokesman for the ter - rorist group. His decision to take the witness stand was announced by his lawyer. Ex-al-Qaida spokesman recalls terror attacks tunities for students, staff and administrators to meet with representatives from the firm starting Thursday. He added that the repre - sentatives are from North- ern California. "They are not people from New York City, or even Timbuktu," he said. Harrop said the district is shooting to have a per - manent superintendent at the board of trustees' May meeting. The qualif ications for the superintendent, which board President Barbara McIver listed during the meeting, include strong leadership skills, knowl - edge of the business and legislation regarding edu- cation and to be an active participant in the commu- nity. "We're a little bit late for a search," McIver said. "We're a little bit out of the season, and so the national aspect of this group is re - ally good." The firm, which is en- dorsed by the California School Boards Association and has representatives in Northern California, is charging $9,500 to conduct the search. The Red Bluff Union High School Teachers As - sociation in November 2013 presented the board of trustees with a vote of "no confidence" in the for - mer superintendent, saying she failed to communicate effectively, was inconsistent in her decision-making and made changes that were not in the best interest of stu - dents. The board also approved a contract with Harrop, who will serve as interim superintendent and sec - retary to the board until about June 30. The contract says he is to be paid $60 per hour and work no more than 40 hours per week for the du - ration of the agreement. "I really appreciate the job Joe (Harrop) is doing," board member Jack Han - sen said. He added that the position is challenging, but Harrop's communication and energy have been ex - cellent.
