ByRichGreene rgreene@redbluffdailynews. com @richgreenenews on Twitter REDDING A 60-year-old Red Bluff man was killed riding a motorcycle on In- terstate 5 Sunday when a tractor-trailer collided with him. David W. Terry was killed around 11:30 a.m. on south- bound I-5 near Hartnell Av- enue, a California Highway Patrol collision report said. According to a prelimi- nary investigation, around 11:30 a.m. Gordon A. John- ston, from Langley, Brit- ish Columbia, Canada, was driving a 2002 Peter- bilt with a 2000 Load King trailer south near Hartnell Avenue in the third lane when he drifted onto the right shoulder. Johnston turned back to the left and lost control of the vehicle. Dennis Bagshaw, from Red Bluff, was riding a 2012 Harley Davidson in the same vicinity, braked and slid onto the roadway because of the actions of the tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer then collided with Terry who was riding a 2003 Harley Davidson. The collision inflicted fa- tal injuries on Terry. The tractor-trailer over- turned and slid into the center divider. Johnston and Bagshaw each sustained minor in- juries. Johnston was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Redding.

DEATH NOTICES CORNING A Washington man was found in a ditch on Rawson Road near Gyle Road Saturday night af- ter being kidnapped from an unidentified Corning park. An anonymous caller told dispatchers a man was in a ditch around 10:45 p.m. Saturday, ac- cording to a press release issued Monday morning by the Tehama County Sheriff's Department. Deputies found the man with stab wounds to his back, abdomen and but- tocks. Ignacio Flores Geron, 22, was taken to St. Eliza- beth Community Hospital to undergo emergency sur- gery. He is listed in stable condition, according to the release. Geron told detectives he was at an unknown park in the Corning area and was approached by three men, ages 23-25, who threw him in a car and drove him to an un- known location. He said they robbed, stabbed and dumped him out of the car. Geron said the men stole around $400. He said he is from Washington and arrived in the Corn- ing area about three days ago and is looking for em- ployment and housing. The sheriff's depart- ment is actively investi- gating this incident and if anyone has any knowledge that could assist in this in- vestigation they are urged to call Detective Patterson at 530-529-7920. CORNING Man kidnapped, robbed, stabbed nold's feet. One of the rounds struck Arnold's leg. Med- ical assistance was called for Arnold after deputies arrived. Pratt was arrested for Assault With a Deadly Weapon and transported to the Tehama County Jail with bail set at $30,000. Tenant FROM PAGE 1 Back To School Project was founded in 2004 by Berry, who as a single par- ent years ago received two anonymous donations of $100, leading to the Back To School Project concept. Since 2004, more than 2,000 children have been served by the program. And on Sunday, hundreds of kids were expected to receive free haircuts dur- ing the organization's Cuts for Kids day at the Red Bluff Community and Senior Center. Live music and informational booths were planned. Berry said she's always amazed at being able to help the families served by the program, but the period for reflection af- ter the weekend passes is short-lived. "There's a little bit of a lull," she said. "But then the fundraising starts again." As a large group of children and their par- ents waited for their turn to walk the aisles in Walmart, John McKim, a Red Bluff pastor, yelled a blessing through a mega- phone. "May the families know that they are loved and blessed, and we receive them with joy," McKim said. He added: "I ask this in Jesus' name. And every- one said, amen."

Phase two of the park, which is currently under construction, includes two soccer fields and is sepa- rated from the first phase of the park by Jewett Creek and is "separately access from Toomes and Houghton avenues," ac- cording to a staff report. City staff believes that phase two of the park should have its own name for easier identification, according to the report. The second phase of the park is located on a prop- erty the city acquired from Dorothy Harper in 2010, according to the staff report. At the time, city staff "verbally agreed to consider including the 'Harper' family name in some manner" when the second phase of the park was developed. City staff recommends that second phase of the park be named "Lennox- Harper Fields," or that the City Council selects a different name for the sec- tion of the park. Phase two of the park is expected to cost about $1,046,000. Corning Com- munity Park construction has been funded by a $4.2 million Proposition 84 grant. The City Council meets at 794 Third Street.

By Haven Daley The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Robin Williams, the Academy Award winner and comic supernova whose explo- sions of pop culture riffs and impressions dazzled audiences for decades and made him a gleamy-eyed laureate for the Informa- tion Age, died Monday in an apparent suicide. He was 63. Williams was pro- nounced dead at his home in California on Monday, according to the sheriff's office in Marin County, north of San Francisco. The sheriff's office said a preliminary investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide due to as- phyxia. "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved art- ists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heart- broken," said Williams' wife, Susan Schneider. "On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy dur- ing our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless mo- ments of joy and laughter he gave to millions," Williams had been bat- tling severe depression recently, said Mara Bux- baum, his press represen- tative. From his breakthrough in the late 1970s as the alien in the hit TV show "Mork and Mindy," through his standup act and such films as "Good Morn- ing, Vietnam," the short, barrel-chested Williams ranted and shouted as if just sprung from solitary confinement. Loud, fast, manic, he parodied every- one from John Wayne to Keith Richards, imperson- ating a Russian immigrant as easily as a pack of Nazi attack dogs. He was a riot in drag in "Mrs. Doubtfire," or as a cartoon genie in "Alad- din." He won his Academy Award in a rare, but equally intense dramatic role, as a teacher in the 1997 film "Good Will Hunting." He was no less on fire in interviews. During a 1989 chat with The Associated Press, he could barely stay seated in his hotel room, or even mention the film he was supposed to promote, as he free-associated about comedy and the cosmos. "There's an Ice Age com- ing," he said. "But the good news is there'll be daiqui- ris for everyone and the Ice Capades will be ev- erywhere. The lobster will keep for at least 100 years, that's the good news. The Swanson dinners will last a whole millennium. The bad news is the house will basi- cally be in Arkansas." Following Williams on stage, Billy Crystal once ob- served, was like trying to top the Civil War. In a 1993 interview with the AP, Wil- liams recalled an appear- ance early in his career on "The Tonight Show Star- ring Johnny Carson." Bob Hope was also there. "It was interesting," Wil- liams said. "He was sup- posed to go on before me and I was supposed to fol- low him, and I had to go on before him because he was late. I don't think that made him happy. I don't think he was angry, but I don't think he was pleased. "I had been on the road and I came out, you know, gassed, and I killed and had a great time. Hope comes out and Johnny leans over and says, 'Robin Williams, isn't he funny?' Hope says, 'Yeah, he's wild. But you know, Johnny, it's great to be back here with you.'" In 1992, Carson chose Williams and Bette Midler as his final guests. Like so many funny- men, he had serious ambi- tions, winning his Oscar for his portrayal of an em- pathetic therapist in "Good Will Hunting." He also played for tears in "Awak- enings," "Dead Poets So- ciety" and "What Dreams May Come," something that led New York Times critic Stephen Holden to once say he dreaded see- ing the actor's "Humpty Dumpty grin and crinkly moist eyes." Williams also won three Golden Globes, for "Good Morning, Vietnam," "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "The Fisher King." His other film credits included Robert Altman's "Popeye" (a box office bomb), Paul Mazursky's "Moscow on the Hudson," Steven Spielberg's "Hook" and Woody Allen's "Decon- structing Harry." On stage, Williams joined fellow co- median Steve Martin in a 1988 Broadway revival of "Waiting for Godot." "I dread the word 'art,'" Williams told the AP in 1989. "That's what we used to do every night be- fore we'd go on with 'Wait- ing for Godot.' We'd go, 'No art. Art dies tonight.' We'd try to give it a life, instead of making "Godot" so seri- ous. It's cosmic vaudeville staged by the Marquis de Sade." His personal life was of- ten short on laughter. He had acknowledged drug and alcohol problems in the 1970s and '80s and was among the last to see John Belushi before the "Satur- day Night Live" star died of a drug overdose in 1982. Born in Chicago in 1951, Williams would remember himself as a shy kid who got some early laughs from his mother — by mimicking his grandmother.
