Deathnotices part in a similar program in August and a program asking parents to accept Rachel's Challenge will be held Oct. 23. While the spirit of the programs are the same re- gardless of the age group the history of Rachel Joy Scott, the girl who inspired the program, is shared in completely different lights to the different groups. Scott was the first victim of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, a fact in- tentionally left out of Mon- day's presentation to the students. Scott's father Darrell hosted the August program to educators. He said Rachel's Chal- lenge developed after read- ing some of the diaries and school papers she had left behind as well as hearing stories from classmates Ra- chel had befriended. Rachel, who was 17 at the time of her death, spent her high school years reaching out to special needs stu- dents, new students and students being picked on. She had a belief that one act of kindness or compas- sion could spark a chain re- action of the same. The chain is now a sym- bol of the Rachel's Chal- lenge program. Tehama County schools will create chain links of paper, one link for each act of kind- ness a student does be- tween now and March. Some schools have re- ported, when finished with the program, their paper-link chains can be stretched entirely around a school building represent- ing hundreds, even thou- sands, of kind acts by stu- dents. SERRF officials said they will bring all of the school's chains together in the spring at the program's annual Highlights Show. The Rachel's Scott pro- gram Monday was pre- sented by Todd Lauderdale. He challenged the students to be one of the dominoes that allow a chain reaction to work. He told the students they are all important, if a chain of kindness is to succeed. Students FROM PAGE 1 uty director said in the let- ter to lawmakers. So far this year, the de- partment has responded to nearly 5,000 fires, about 1,200 more than aver- age through the first nine months of the calendar year, Bosler wrote. The action comes days after Brown declared emer- gencies for the blaze burn- ing in El Dorado and Placer counties and the fire in Sis- kiyou County along the Or- egon border. It follows dec- larations for other fires in 11 counties in early August. The worst may be yet to come, with the first of Southern California's hot, dry Santa Ana winds ex- pected later this week. "It's already been a very active and very busy fire season. The Santa Ana and fall season just elevates that risk even more," CalFire spokesman Daniel Berlant said. "Historically, the fall months are when we experi- ence our largest, most dam- aging wildfires." Rain last week did much to help firefighters corral current wildfires in North- ern California, but it wasn't enough to end the fire sea- son particularly with warmer, drier conditions returning this week, Ber- lant said. The state's costs for its four most expensive fires alone have exceeded the en- tire emergency fund. How- ever, much of the money will eventually be reim- bursed by the federal gov- ernment, Berlant said. The fire in El Dorado and Placer counties, which is be- ing fought jointly by state and federal firefighters, has cost the state $31 mil- lion to date. A wildfire in Mendocino County cost the state $41.5 million in July. Shasta County's Eiler Fire cost $26.6 million in Au- gust, and the Bully Fire in Shasta County in July cost the state $24 million.

Auction FROM PAGE 1 By Brady Mccombs The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY A 34-year- old Southern California man was found dead over the weekend in Zion Na- tional Park after rising floodwaters trapped him in a narrow canyon that is home to one of the park's best-known hiking trails. Douglas Yoshi Vo's body was found Sunday after- noon in the "Narrows," a popular hike that entails walking in shallow water through a winding canyon with steep walls, National Park Service spokesman David Eaker said. Vo, of Westminster, Cal- ifornia, and his friend be- gan hiking early Saturday when rains came and the river began rising rapidly, forcing them to take refuge on high ground. They ended up on opposite sides of the raging river and could not talk to one another because of the noise of the water, Eaker said. The two waited until the afternoon, hoping the water level would lower and allow them to hike out. Vo's friend swam the flooding river to safety, while Vo remained where he was, Eaker said. The friend's name wasn't made public. He alerted park rangers Saturday evening about Vo, but rescuers determined the river was running too high to safely enter at night. Of- ficials also thought Vo was in a safe place. When rangers hiked into the canyon Sunday morn- ing, Vo wasn't where he was the day before. His body was found about a quarter- mile downriver on a bank around 2 p.m. Sunday. Authorities have not yet determined a cause of death. "We don't know if de- cided to swim as well or if he fell in," Eaker said. Several people have died in the Narrows over the years, Eaker said, with the latest coming in 2010 when two people tried to build a makeshift raft and float down the river.

The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Efforts to relocate protected birds so the old eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge can be torn down could cost the state more than $30 million, a news- paper said Monday. Transportation officials are trying to move hun- dreds of double-crested cormorants and other birds that nest in the 10,000-foot- long steel structure, the San Francisco Chronicle re- ported. The California Depart- ment of Transportation wants to adhere to restric- tive requirements of the fed- eral Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the California Fish and Game code, spokes- woman Leah Robinson- Leach said. "There are penalties if we don't," Robinson-Leach said. Officials have spent $709,000 to build nesting "condos" to lure the birds to the underside of a new eastern span, the newspa- per reported. Another $1 million was spent trying to lure them with bird decoys, cormorant recordings and nests made from discarded Christmas wreaths. Officials also have in- stalled nets over the old eastern span to keep birds away. But the birds haven't moved and more are arriv- ing to roost. Consultants found 533 cormorant nests on the old bridge this year, double the number found three years ago, according to the Chronicle.

Fern was born on March 18, 1939 in Gerrardstown, West Vir- ginia, one of 13 children. Life as a child was difficult, which grew in Fern a great compassion for children and a great capacity to love even the most unlovable among us. On July 13, 1958 she married a tall, skinny pianist named Jimmy in North Carolina and together they moved to San Diego, California to start a new life. Fern and Jimmy be- came parents, first to a daughter and then to a son, and embarked on the journey of raising a family. Jimmy's work required a few moves through the years, and Fern always immediately immersed herself in her new com- munity and church family, looking for ways to be of serv- ice. She was a child care provider, foster parent, church nursery worker and surrogate "mom" for many, many children and teens through the years, making sure each child she encountered knew that she loved them, that Je- sus loved them and that they mattered in the world. After retiring and moving to Red Bluff, Jimmy and Fern became regulars at certain area restaurants, where Fern spread her sweet smile and love of a good hug to every server, cook and dishwasher she could engage. She had much to teach us as a community about the value of the individual. Fern leaves behind (temporarily) her husband of 56 years, Jimmy Quick; her daughter and son-in law, Renee and Ron Fortenberry; her son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Jeri Quick; grandchildren Jaclyn Moore, Justyn Fortenberry, Stacia Fortenberry, Michael Tisdale and Ste- ven Quick; and great-granchildren Haley, Bryce, Kaetlyn, Elliot, Oliver and Owen. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2014 at 10 a.m. at Abundant Life Fellowship, 21080 Lu- ther Road, Red Bluff. Memorial donations can be made to the Salvation Army, an organization that was close to her heart because of the service provided to her own family as a child, or to your favorite children's charity. In her memory, we ask that you take a few minutes each day to engage with and encourage a child, and to remember that the person bringing the food to your table or filling your prescription may be struggling and need a hug today. CHARLES "KENNETH" JACKSON July 8, 1931 ~ September 20, 2014 Charles "Kenneth" Jackson, a fifty-year resident of Red Bluff, lost his battle with cancer on September 20, 2014, in Red Bluff. Kenneth was born to Merril Guy and Jessie Alpha Brisbin Jackson, July 8, 1931, in Bartlett, Williamson County, Texas. He graduated from Bartlett High School and, later, attended both Fullerton College and Shasta College.While still in his teens he learned to drive a truck and, when not attending school, he delivered grain or other crops throughout the mid-west. Yes, he was under- age for interstate driving, but only once was he stopped and thrown in jail in Coffeeville, Kansas, for lying to a judge for hauling an overweight load. After graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Navy which took him to San Diego, California. While on a weekend pass in Long Beach, he met Grace "Alice" Brambley of Brea, Cali- fornia, and several months later they decided to marry. So, after hitchhiking up to Brea from San Diego, Kenneth borrowed his future mother-in-law's car and he and Alice eloped to Yuma, Arizona, where they were married on October 19, 1952. In 1954 the Navy shipped Kenneth overseas to Korea and French Indo-China (now Vietnam) on the USS Knud- son (APD-101). While in Indo-China he took part in the evacuation of thousands of refugees who passed through the medical station of the Navy's Dr. Tom Dooley. It was tough work, but also some of Kenneth's proudest mo- ments. After discharge in 1955, Kenneth was employed in Brea as a long-haul truck driver traveling as far as Canada and Louisiana. In 1964, he and Alice moved the family to Tehama County to bring up their children in a rural area. It was after the floods of 1964/65 that he was hired by the Tehama County Road Department, at first patching roads and later moving on to the survey crew. During his 24 years with the County, his superb mathematical and tech- nical skills were put to good use, including in the design of many of Tehama County's bridges. He retired in 1989. Kenneth had many interests including fishing and work- ing on cars. In 1970, he and Alice began a hobby which continued for almost forty years, that of square dancing. This took them to many places in California, as well as in Washington, Oregon, and Texas. They also spent many summers fishing in Humboldt and Del Norte counties. Kenneth was a hardworking man, a wonderful storytell- er, and a hero to his kids and grandkids. He was proudest of his driving record, his Navy years, and most especially, his family. He is greatly missed by Alice, his wife of al- most sixty-two years; his son Kenneth Lee Jackson and wife Marian of Novato, California; his daughter Joyce Jackson and husband Bob Hopton of Red Bluff; and his grandchildren: Jason Lee McClelland of Corvallis, Oregon; Tracy Alan McClelland and Justin Mitchell, both of Red Bluff; Bridget Anne Jackson and Emily Suzanne Jackson, both of Novato; and his step-granddaughters, Sabrina Hammer of Redding, and Karena Hopton of Red Bluff. He is also missed by his nieces and nephews. Private internment will take place on a later date at the Northern California Veterans' Cemetery in Igo. A family gathering in remembrance of Kenneth will also be held on a later date.
