Among the concerns of moving the event to the Corning Library parking lot were safety and how it would affect the library. “We have spoken directly to (Tehama County Librarian) Jessica Hudson and she is in favor of the start time and the plan of action we’ve decided on,” Akers said. “She is looking forward to it and does not feel it will interfere with the business at the library.” Akers said the chamber’s Farmer’s Market Commit- tee, which she is a part of, has agreed to see how the first year goes and then address any issues that come up.

By JULIE ZEEB DN Staff Writer For the second year in a row, res- idents of the PATH Sale House are looking to give back through a com- munity garden. “The garden is our way for the women to give back to our commu- nity who gives so much to us,” said Sale House Manager Jodi Cordial. “It’s a good life lesson and it helps the women feel like they’re a part of the community. They learn that it’s not just about receiving but giving.” On Friday, members of the Com- High-risk parolees unsupervised SACRAMENTO (AP) — California improperly paroled more than 450 dan- gerous criminals without supervision last year as part of a program designed to reduce prison crowding and cost, the California prison system’s independent inspector general said Wednesday in a report. A faulty computerized risk-assessment program predicted the offenders could be released under the state’s non-revocable parole law that took effect in Janu- ary 2010. The inspector general found that about 1,500 offenders were improperly left unsupervised, including 450 who ‘‘carry a high risk for violence.’’ The offenders otherwise would have been released under traditional parole, which requires them to report in regularly and follow specific rules. The new law was designed for less serious offenders. Under non-revo- cable parole, offenders don’t report to parole agents and can’t be sent back to prison unless they commit new crimes. The Department of Cor- rections and Rehabilitation said it relies heavily on a computerized program because it must review the criminal histories of more than 160,000 inmates and more than 100,000 offend- ers on parole. Auditors found the risk assessment was wrong for 23.5 percent of more than 10,000 offenders who were See RISK, page 5A 7 5 8 5 5 1 6 9 0 0 1 9 POWER PRODUCTS DOLMAR Red Bluff Outdoor Power munity Service Crew, Pathways Men’s transitional Program and other community volunteers worked together to put up a fence.

Shirley Puga, execu- tive director of the net- work who organized and directed the day-long clinic, noted that the cur- rent recession has forced many private horse own- ers to give up or be unable to properly care for their animals since 2008 and this has created a problem for the state’s equine res- cues and sanctuaries See CLINIC, page 5A Courtesy photo by Michael Killingbeck Pictured, from left, are Shirley Puga of the National Equine Resource Network, Linda Richards of Safe Haven Horse Rescue, Jon Sutfin DVM and Leigh Bate- man DVM of Red Bluff Veterinary Clin- ic.
