Deathnotices bysidewiththedulyelected Tribal Council and I have been very impressed by their efforts to call for tribal unity and work through the legal process. They have also en- gaged with state and federal officials, who have not real- ized the urgency of making a decision." In a phone interview Fri- day,Parker,whoisaRedBluff City Council member, reiter- ated that his goal was to re- unite the tribe, which owns Rolling Hills Casino, and find a peaceful resolution to the dispute that has seen such allegations as embezzlement andfraudtradedbetweenfac- tionsofthetribe.Hesaiditap- peared an "other path" would be taken, but didn't elaborate on what that other path en- tailed. "You'll just have to read into it yourself," he said. Ousted Tribal Council members, who maintain they are the duly elected mem- bersofthecouncil,includeDa- vid Swearinger, Leslie Lohse, GeraldineFreemanandAllen Swearinger. Parker said he along with three Tribal Council mem- bers met with the deputy di- rector of field operations for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Mike Smith, in Washington D.C. Thursday afternoon. Parkersaidnoagency—local, state or federal — would take action in the dispute until the BIAestablishedthe"rightful" five-person Tribal Council. Parker said the meeting went well, and a letter estab- lishing those rightful mem- bers was requested. He said as of 4:40 p.m. Friday, no let- ter has been received. "Unfortunately,thebiggest victim is the tribe," Parker said, adding that the tribe's members, casino employees and other tribal properties such as its health clinics are the ones hurting. Members of the tribe's Pata, Henthorn, Lohse and Crosby families were sus- pended at the tribe's annual General Council meeting April 12 because they pur- portedly do not have famil- ial ties to be members of the tribe, according members of the tribe aligned with Tribal Council Chairman Andrew Freeman.Appointmentswere subsequentlymadetoreplace Tribal Council Vice Chair- man David Swearinger, trea- surerLohse,secretaryGeral- dineFreemanandmemberat large Allen Swearinger, who haveclaimedthatthesuspen- sions were not carried out in accordance with the tribe's constitution. "The four members of the TribalCouncilhaveremained true to their resolve to main- tain peace and call for a uni- fied tribe," Parker said in the statement. "It has been an honor to serve as the Police Chief for the past month, but at this time I must step down. I do wish nothing but the best for the entire tribe." David Swearinger in a statement said: "We haven't made any decisions yet about when to replace Chief Parker. We have appreciated his ser- vice and his counsel through this process. His investiga- tions have been very telling about what has been hap- pening at the casino since the April 12th meeting. His cool head and his sense of justice hasprovidedastrongfounda- tionforthepathwehavetaken to date." Parker'sroleaspolicechief for the tribe was immediately challenged by an attorney representing members of the tribe led by Chairman Free- man, Vice Chairwoman Lati- sha Miller, treasurer Ambro- sia Rico, secretary Andrew Alejandre and member at large Natasha Maranga. The attorney, Richard Verri, in May called Parker's position as police chief a "joke," and said that Parker had no au- thority over the tribe. Rolling Hills Casino on Fri- day issued a press release that acknowledged a "con- flict" within the tribe, but re- affirmed that as it approaches its12thanniversaryinJuly,the casino is a safe place to visit. "Our principals and core values for running the Casino have not changed," said CEO Bruce Thomas in the release. Casino operators, accord- ing to the release, recently held a collaborative meet- ing with the Tehama County Sheriff's Department. "Public safety is our pri- ority," Tehama County Sher- iff Dave Hencratt said in the release. "While we will not be involvedininternalissues,we are committed to preserving safety at Rolling Hills Casino and will continue to enforce the law." Chief FROM PAGE 1 we've found out there." After two weeks of clean- ing, Herritt said the first thing he noticed was wildlife traveling through the area again. "Ineversawanydeercom- ing through there, it was so thick,"Herrittsaid."Andnow I've seen the deer come back and wander through that creek area." Laramie Griffith, a 33-year-old crew supervi- sor for the California Con- servation Corps' satellite center in Chico, said the corps has opportunities to do community-based proj- ects, and it was approached by Chico-based Community Housing Improvement Pro- gram to take on the eight- week project. Griffith said crew mem- bers have been clearing out invasive vegetation such as grapevines and blackberry bushes, but keeping native trees and bushes in tact. "Basically, if all goes well, if the water levels rise ... this creek will actually make its way to the Sacramento River," Griffith said, adding thatthepriorityisto prevent the apartment complex from flooding. The California Conserva- tion Corps was created by Gov. Jerry Brown in 1976. Men and women ages 18 to 25 sign up for a year to par- ticipate in projects such as the creek cleanup on Friday, but also to assist with emer- gencies such as fires, earth- quakes and floods. Griffith said the project, which has averaged about 12 crew members over the past fiveFridays,willcontinuefor the next three weeks. The corps is conducting the proj- ect free of charge. "These gentlemen here," Herritt said as crew mem- bers lowered tree limbs and brush through a chipper, "men and women, have vol- unteered their time through the state of California — 480 hours to commit themselves tocleanthisareaofthecreek for flood control, and for safety, and for the improve- ment of the wildlife." GeorgeBrown,atenantat the complex, said the project is "all right." He said he can now walk through the creek area to collect recyclables without getting scratched by thick brush.

Fishback, Edward Thomas 9/3/1943 - 6/2/2014 - 70 years Orangevale, CA. On Sunday night, our loving Dad, Husband and Papa went to sleep after receiving his ritual back scratch and hand rub from his loving wife Sherrie. The following morning, sleeping in his favorite position, with that amused smile on his face, he appeared to have peacefully passed into the hands of our Holy Father. After graduating from Red Bluff High School in 1961, he started working for PG&E when he was 18 years old. Working from the bottom up, over the next 32 years, he became a certified electrician. He continued his education by completing multiple specialized electrical engineering courses. Combined with field experience, he was promot- ed to Project Manager and supervised a team of electrical and mechanical engineers, mechanics and instrument testers. His team was responsible for starting, testing, re- pairing, shutting down and re-starting power plants throughout the state of California. Upon retiring at age 52, he worked as a professional consultant. Eventually, he re- ceived an offer "too good to pass up" from the California Independent System Operator (CALISO), in Folsom, CA. Ed's legacy will be remembered for his endearing quali- ties. People naturally gravitated to him as moths to light. He would invite total strangers to sit in an open seat next to him, often providing them with an extra seat cushion or fold out chair. It was often difficult to get Dad to leave social events because he had formed a bond with whom- ever was lucky enough to cross his path. Most important- ly, Ed lived his "Bucket List" by participating in the lives' of his family. He found joy in life by giving his friends and family things that made their lives better; especially his time. When he wasn't attending one of his grandchil- dren's' celebrations or ball games, he was traveling with his wife, fishing in Canada, or tinkering in the yard happi- ly fulfilling his honey-do list. His genuine smile and loud, distinct laugh could be heard from long distances, as he enjoyed numerous sport- ing events in which he would often say "that's my grand- son or granddaughter out there." He was truly and will al- ways be everyone's' biggest fan. He was always good for a gut-busting one-liner too. When the boys or "small bud- dies" were younger, he took them on one of his Canadian fishing trips. The two grandsons, nine and twelve, decid- ed to sneak into his hotel room to jump up and down on his bed. As the story goes, he walked out of the shower with no clothes. The boys immediately stopped jumping with eyes "wide as saucers." Ed looked up unexpectedly and said, "What, you've never seen a hard body before?" His grandsons say they've never laughed harder. We're going to miss our beloved Dad, Husband, Papa, mentor and friend beyond measure. We will all do well in life if we just remember the example he set for us all.
