Deathnotices hiringofParker,saytheal- legations of embezzlement are false, and that no mem- bers have been suspended because the meeting was adjourned. They also say they are the "duly elected" Tribal Council members recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Na- tional Indian Gaming Com- mission. Those claims are coun- tered by Verri, who said the new Tribal Council appoint- ments were made accord- ing to the tribe's constitu- tion, and that the tribe has regularly communicated its actions to the BIA and the NIGC. Parker, a Red Bluff City Councilman, said he was sworn in Saturday, and that he's a neutral party who represents both sides of the tribal dispute, and all mem- bers of the tribe. "My whole goal is to get the whole tribe back to- gether," he said, adding that the April 12 General Coun- cil meeting was procedur- ally "botched." Parker said he has tried to talk to Andrew Freeman, because he believes the lead- ership issue can be resolved. But attempts to reach the chairman, he said, have not been successful. Parker said his position as police chief will not affect his job as a council member. He said as police chief he will have the power to issue such civil citations as disor- derly conduct and trespass- ing into tribal court. He has yet to visit the casino since he was sworn in. Verri called Parker's hir- ing by the Tribal Council members who allegedly va- cated their seats a "joke," and that Parker would be served with a restraining order if he attempted to en- ter casino grounds. "They have no legal au- thority to act on behalf of the tribe," Verri said. "Whether they appoint Santa Claus or a former sheriff, it has no le- gal effect whatsoever." Verri said there is no "lawful" police department created by the Tribal Coun- cil. "There is a security force that has been deputized and is performing security functions for the reserva- tion with a contract with the tribal government," he added. Verri also dismissed the authority of Paskenta Tribal Court, established earlier this month. He said the Tribal Council already has a tribal court headed by Chief Judge Howard Shanker, who he said issued restraining orders against those who have attempted to "illegally" assert them- selves as part of the Tribal Council.

"I'd select the same guy again if I had to do it all over again," Champion said. "I'd still pick Charles Allen." Champion said in the ed- ucational field the key doc- uments to earn are creden- tials, which Allen had at Chico State. "In our business that's your license to drive," Cham- pion said. North said Allen has pub- licly stated in at least two candidate forums that he possesses a master's degree. Allen's resume to the County Department of Ed- ucation as well as one sup- plied to the Daily News ear- lier in the campaign both list a master's degree from Chico State. "I'm basing that on equiv- alency," Allen said of the re- sume listing. North said in his press release the revelation goes deeper than politics. "The people of this county deserve honesty and integ- rity in the Superintendent of schools, especially since the department's main job is overseeing the financial well- being of the county's 14 local school districts — a respon- sibility for which absolute in- tegrity is required," North's press release said. North lists on his cam- paign website receiving his own master's degree from Chico State in 1988. Allen said he is standing by his 15 years working in the county and relationships he's built with peers and parents. "I pretty much let my re- cord stand. I'm not trying to deceive the voters. I'm try- ing to be honest," Allen said. Candidate FROM PAGE 1 table with items to bid on for home and garden.

River FROM PAGE 1 on his own recognizance and that the bail be exonerated. Papendick said Burrone is a California State University, Chico student who had his drivers license taken from him by the Department of Motor Vehicles because of the incident. He said Bur- rone is not a risk. The District Attorney's Office opposed the request, noting that a 5-year-old boy was tragically killed, and that Burrone had three pre- vious speeding tickets in a year-and-a-half period. Papendick said Burrone's last ticket was issued in 2012, but Judge John Garaventa denied the request and kept bail set at $60,000. Papendick declined to comment further to the Daily News, saying he still had not received police re- ports. Burrone is next scheduled to appear in court June 2 to set a date for a preliminary hearing. Crash FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press FAIRFIELD The pilot of a vintage biplane who died at a Northern California air show was making his second attempt at an upside-down stunt 20 feet off the ground whenhecrashed,theNational Transportation Safety Board saidinareportreleasedMon- day. Eddie Andreini, 77, died May 4 in the crash at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield during the Thunder Over So- lano air show before a crowd of about 85,000 people. In the stunt, he had had a knife at- tached to his plane and was trying to cut a ribbon sus- pended between two poles held by a ground crew. The NTSB says the plane was too high during the first attempt to cut the ribbon. It crashed before reaching the ribbon during the second at- tempt, sliding between mem- bers of the ground crew and coming to a stop a few hun- dred feet beyond them. Theplane'srightwingfirst hit the runway, the report says, followed by the tail, left wing and the propeller. Investigators report that they reviewed photos and video, showing that the plane caughtfirejustbeforeitcame to a stop. Burn marks on the runway showed that the fuel spilled and burned in a pool, and within 50 seconds the flames engulfed most of the plane's right side. Witnesses said it felt like emergency crews took a long time to reach the scene. The report says a base fire crewreachedtheplanewithin about three or four minutes and put out the flames.

GARY MERLE PALMER June 8, 1947 ~ May 5, 2014 Gary Merle Palmer went home to be with his Lord and Savior, on May 5, 2014 after a long struggle with COPD and other health issues.

GARY RAY DUTRO January 30, 1943 ~ May 9, 2014 GARY RAY DUTRO, born January 30, 1943 in Chico to Ray and Leona Dutro, passed away May 09, 2014 at the age of 71 at his home in Red Bluff after a valiant battle with multiple illnesses. He was a leader, mentor and driv- en farmer, yet balanced high expectations with a sense of humor and a well-placed joke. As a boy, Gary was always the ringleader amongst his many cousins and friends, making sure that fun was had by all. He graduated Chico High School in 1960, attended Chico State College, then married his high school sweetheart Judy Shreve in 1963. After moving to Tehama County and spending dawn-to- dusk days establishing a respectable farming operation they started a family. If one didn't know Gary for his sug- ar beets, kidney beans, wheat, walnuts, almonds or other crops to have graced their dinner tables, they certainly knew him as "car number 43", blazing past opponents in turn four and taking the checkered flag at Silver Dollar Speedway or Shasta Speedway (frequently on back-to- back nights). In the eighties, one could find Gary coach- ing Little League girls' softball teams all the way to West- ern Regionals, making sure "Everybody hits!" He spent his free time waterskiing, jet boating, snowmobiling, riding wave runners, and operating any machine that satisfied his need for speed. After losing Judy to MS, he married longtime friend Christie Noftz in 2008 and enjoyed great prosperity in almond farming despite failing health issues. After an extensive training period he passed the ranch- management torch to his son-in-law H.D. Coelho, and could not have made a better choice to ensure that the ranch remained in capable hands long after he was gone. He is survived by his wife Christie, sister Kathy Leger(Ron), Durham; son Stephen (Jennie), Redding; daughter Anne Coelho (H.D.) and granddaughters Madi- son, Gillian, and Hailey, Gerber; stepsons Bill Noftz (Ja- mie), Seattle; Bob Noftz and two step-grandchildren Rob- ert and Raquel, Red Bluff. Contributions in Gary's name may be made to Mercy High School, Red Bluff Little Lea- gue, or the American Heart Association in care of Brusie Funeral Home. A celebration of his life will be held at First Christian Church, 295 E Washington Avenue in Chico on Tuesday, May 20th at 11:00 A.M. On line condolences can be sent to family at www.brusi efh.com.

However, there was nothing "short" about this tall fellow. I have known him since 1934 when he occupied a rug next to me in Kindergarten at the old Lincoln Street Elementary School. The Kindergarten room had a small outdoor patio on the east side surrounded by a low brick retaining wall. One early morning, George and I helped launch Dave Sale off that wall while perched in an orange crate, with make shift wings, for his maiden flight. As many of our joint enterprises over the years, it came to naught. By the 3rd grade, George had grown very tall and towered over the rest of us. At noon time recess, we devised a game in which about 8 or 10 of us would encircle him like Indians around a wagon…and then Norman Fisher, the shortest but most agile of the group, would leap upon his back. Then, emboldened by Norm's act, we would all gang on and eventually ride George to the ground. Once accomplished, we would dust him off and go on to some other game in which George usually excelled. One such was softball. However, in one instance, I was catching, George was at bat, and as I threw the ball back to the pitcher, George turned toward me and the ball caught him in the eye. It wasn't until weeks later, when his inflamed eye did not respond to treatment that he was diagnosed with a tumor and his eye was removed. Our schoolmates were disconsolate, but the loss of an eye didn't slow him down socially. A few years later he and I starred in an operetta at Lincoln Elementary titled "The Burgermeister and his Cat". I had the role of the cat. In high school George was a star athlete, played left tackle on the Spartan Football team and lettered, as I recall, all four years. His obituary recounted his many community activities as he later became a teacher and a school administrator. He also became a sports announcer over KBLF radio, and announced for the Red Bluff Roundup of which he became a director in 1986. The Roundup Museum was his pride and joy and his knowledge of early events led to his publishing a detailed history of same. As you can see, he led a long and productive life and was well liked by all who were fortunate to make his acquaintance. I was one such. At our 50th RBUHS Class of 1947 reunion, George and I were Co-Masters of Ceremonies and alternately read the class history. George was a great guy who had a good long life. However, I wish he could have stayed around a little longer…at least to witness the S.F.Giants taking the series last weekend from the dreaded L.A. Dodgers. He would have loved that. R.I.P. old pal.
