APPLY Continued from page 1A of families that have asked for adjustments on their income verifications, Berry said. Many people have lost jobs or have reduced hours and their tax returns don’t show the changes, she said. The project, which started with 18 children funded through bake sales and car washes, has grown and changed since it began, Berry said. The group learns as it develops. The project is focused on building children’s self- esteem and confidence. The motto is “Sending every child back to school with pride, dignity and a feeling of self-worth.” Gail Locke, a project volunteer, has helped out in the past on shopping days. “The kids come out with bags and bags of clothes and their smiles will break their faces,” she said. Some of those children have never gotten to buy new clothes before, Locke said. Locke is one of some 300 volunteers who help the project come together. “It’s an easy thing to do to make a big impact,” she said. In addition to shopping for items, the children may get a free haircut. The project culminates in a haircutting event with free food, live music, chil- dren’s games and informa- tional booths at the Red Bluff City Park, Aug. 14, while licensed hairstylists volunteer their time to cut the children’s hair. Families may apply for their children to participate through 7 p.m. today at Lariat Bowl. For more information, go to www.backtoschool- project.com, or call 529- 4800, 529-4074 or 840- 6911. Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service Family owned & Operated Honor and Dignity 527-1732 722 Oak Street, Red Bluff, FD Lic. 1931 Man to stand trial in ’09 Redding nightclub death REDDING (AP) — A 32-year-old man accused of throwing a punch that killed a fellow Redding nightclub patron will stand trial on a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter. Shasta County Superior Court Judge Bradley Boeckman said Wednesday that there’s no evidence to suggest that Lennart Christian Schauman intended to kill 31-year-old Adam Martinez in 2009. Schauman’s attorney doesn’t dispute that his client struck the fatal blow but says Martinez was harassing Schauman’s girlfriend at the time. Prosecutors contend that Schauman acted out of jealousy when he hit the unsuspecting Martinez, whom he out- weighed by about 50 pounds. Martinez never regained consciousness after the blow and died nearly three weeks later. BROWN Continued from page 1A told meeting attendees. Lawmakers from both parties question whether Brown should continue to push for a special election vote and are declaring the proposal dead. Democrats say they aren’t willing to support pension reforms and Republicans say they won’t support extending taxes. ‘‘I have no idea where he’s going to go and I have no idea where he’s going to get his votes,’’ said Assem- blyman Charles Calderon, D-Whittier. Over 50 years of serving Tehama County under it, said Sgt. Rod Daugherty of Tehama County Sher- iff’s Office. He was repairing the bearings and the inner seals of the rear wheels on a level shoulder of Highway 36 about a tenth of a mile from camp. He was father to five children. The vehicle’s front wheels were chocked and it was raised on two jacks, one on the rear axle and the other near the rear bumper, Daugherty said. Somehow the 4,500- pound vehicle slipped off the supports. “That’s not something you come across too much,” Daugherty said. A passing motorist spotted his body and called the Sher- iff’s Office. No foul play is suspected. Ellsworth was with his fiancé and her father before the accident, who helped him set up and secure the raised SUV, said Aaron Ellsworth of Paradise, his brother. Casey Ellsworth sent them into town to get parts and there was no reason for him to go back under the SUV without the parts. “This whole past week has been a whole, total roller coaster for all of us,” Aaron Ellsworth said. His family is now struggling to find a way to handle the remains, as any Tehama County programs that could cover the costs only applied for Casey, not his family members footing the bill from Paradise. “Even before this, we were all scraping by barely,” Aaron Ellsworth said. A memorial fund to help pay for cremation has been set up at Sierra Central Credit Union by Leslee Libby, Casey Ellsworth’s mother. The memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Magalia Pines Baptist Church. The fact Casey Ellsworth had no life insurance isn’t helping the family, who didn’t expect to cope with his loss any time soon. “Most people prepare,” Libby said. “I couldn’t even pre- pare.” SHARE Continued from page 1A will not affect the county budget.

Shasta College stopped using the site after it built a permanent campus on Dia- mond Avenue, but it has recently allowed the Red Bluff Police Department to use one of the buildings as a training facility. Champion said his department will allow the police to continue using the building as it transitions into the site. “It’s in our best interest to have a police presence there, so we don’t mind if they want to use it as a substa- tion,” Champion said. Eventually, the depart- ment would like to develop a county Community Day School that would have about 8 to 10 students. Those students would be able to benefit from the pro- fessional staff that is already working with the other stu- dents in the special educa- tion program, Champion said. “Even at the worst of times our programs are expanding and growing,” he said. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e- mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com.
