By Ruth Nicolaus Special to the Daily News Red Bluff » When the Round-Up roars into Red Bluff on Sunday for its final performance, the stands will be a sea of pink. That's because it's the annual Tough Enough to Wear Pink fun - draiser, with monies raised going to breast cancer treatment at the St. Elizabeth Imaging Center. The program started in 2006 and in those eight years has raised over $238,000, with funds going towards equipment upgrades and mammograms for uninsured and under-insured women and men. "From time to time, a patient will share that she or a friend has put off a mammogram due to cost," certified radiologic technologist Mary Rust said.

Tyler Allan Burrone of Fort Jones was 21 at the time of the wreck and was arrested at Chico State by officials with the Tehama County Bureau of Investigations, Tehama County District Attorney Gregg Cohen said. Burrone has been charged with vehicular man - slaughter with gross negligence and involuntary manslaughter, both felonies. Investigators said Burrone was texting before the July 24, 2013 crash. He was booked into Te - hama County Jail on Thursday, and was not listed on the jail's roster as of Friday. His bail was $60,000. Officials said Burrone was driv - ing south on State Route 99E in a 2008 Ford pickup truck and failed to notice a Nissan Maxima, driven by Katie Ramsey of Gerber, ahead of him that had slowed to turn left toward Sherman Street. Burrone braked but rear-ended the Nissan, forcing the vehicle into a north - bound big rig driven by 56-year-old Roderick Abbott of Medford, Ore. Ramsey's son, Gunner Langen- derfer, was killed in the crash, and Ramsey suffered major injures. Neither the driver of the big rig, which overturned in the incident, nor Burrone were injured. After the crash, Burrone told KRCR News that he braked before striking the Nissan but knew he couldn't stop. He added, "It makes you still feel bad even though it wasn't your fault." Burrone is a junior at Chico State, majoring in agriculture business and animal science, said Joe Wills, the school's director of Public Affairs and Publications. He has been a student there since fall 2011. ChiCo StAte uNiveRSity Student charged in deadly crash By Barbara Arrigoni barrigoni@orovillemr.com @OMRBarbara on Twitter oRoville » A year after sev- eral illegal marijuana grow sites were busted in the Butte County foothills, a multi-agency cleanup effort discovered envi - ronmental pollution and toxic conditions at the "cartel-type" gardensthat could significantly harm wildlife. "We're trying to let people know there's another aspect to what's going on in these gar - dens," said state Department of Fish and Wildlife Warden Mark Imsdahl in a phone inter- view Friday. During the first week of April, officers from Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Forest Service and the Butte County Sheriff's Office, along with employees of Sierra Pacific Industries, went to four former pot gardens high in the rugged foothills to clean up the debris left behind. The grows were mostly on public land, but also private tim - ber land. Fish and Wildlife spokes- man Patrick Foy said the recla- mation crew looked at several former grow sites last summer to identify those that had been particularly polluted. One site was an illegal grow off of Highway 32 near Hum - boldt Road. The other three were in the Concow area. All were located in areas that were difficult to reach. Foy voiced concern about the harm the marijuana grows have on the environment, especially to wildlife habitat. He noted salamanders found in one area were particularly vulnerable as they and other types of amphibians absorb tox - ins through their skin. mARijuANA GARdeN CLEANUP SHOWS POTENTIAL HARM TO FLORA AND FAUNA Fertilizer, pesticides found in water; 100 pounds of hazardous waste removed Contributed photo — California department of fish and Wildlife a species of salamander rarely found in the Concow area is picked up during a recent, multi-agency cleanup of a former illegal marijuana garden site.
