Guns stolen from home STOLEN The Tehama County Sheriff's Department is looking for the responsible party in a theft of about $6,200 worth of items from a Pomona Avenue residence in Ger- ber. Larry Vandyke, 62, reported Sunday that someone had entered his residence and taken several items including guns, a camera and computer.

Also taken was a Cannon digital camera worth about $200 and a Dell laptop computer worth about $1,000. Several neighbors reported see- ing an older model dark green 4- door sedan that appeared to be a 1960s or 1970s model. The sedan, which had oxidized paint, was seen in the area during the timeframe of the theft, which was between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sunday. The same sedan had been seen parked in the area several days before the theft with two men in it. The investigation is on-going.

She was preceded in death by her husband Robert (Bob) in 2006, and by infant son Joel in 1957. Bee lived in Iowa until age of 11, when the great de- pression forced her family to move to California in search of employment. They ended up in the community of El Camino, between Red bluff and Corning, CA. It was there that she met her future husband Bob, whose family moved from Iowa as well. Bee attended Red Bluff Union High School, then mar- BEAT Continued from page 1A "Being able to interact with the students and teachers creates a different environment from the nor- mal contacts on the street," Murray said. ried Bob when she was 19 years old, and he was serving his country during WWII. While Bob was overseas, Bee stayed in the Red Bluff area and worked for the railroad as a teletypist, and for the local credit reporting bureau. She also became a pilot, with the thought of joining the Civil Air Patrol, but WWII ended before she could. When Bob was discharged, they began construction of their fu- ture business, Red Bluff Industrial Electric, and in 1947, Bee became the bookeeper for as long as they owned it. Bee and Bob have three surviving children, and had a wonderful life in Red Bluff. Bee became active in the Pink Ladies, which she helped start for the community hospital. She was also active with the Kelly-Griggs Muse- um, Christian Women's Club, the Tehama County Health Planning Council, the Election Board, St. Elizabeth Associ- ates, Antique Collector's Club, Writer Ink and other crea- tive writing groups, and her churches. Survivors include: Patricia (Grootveld) Cook and hus- band David; Gary Grootveld and wife Joan, son Chris; Steve Grootveld and wife Dot, great grandchildren Zac and Kalah Hice.

After four years as an officer in the Red Bluff Police Department, Mur- ray said he chose to take on the new role when he found out the school resource officer position was open. Previous school resource officer Mike Coley recently left the police department for a position with the Tehama County Probation Depart- ment. Murray said the biggest change is that he is now part of the campus. "On patrol you're iso- lated," he said. "Here, you know you are part of a big group." While he never knows what will happen each day, Murray's schedule is pretty much set with every FARM Continued from page 1A State Route 99 west of the Sacramento River. It is half a mile from a Walmart distribution center and the communities of Proberta, Gerber and Las Flores. The adjacent farmland recently was rezoned to general industrial. A developer recently pur- chased more than 500 acres of the nearby rezoned farmland and wanted to acquire the Ohm unit. The Ohms grow alfalfa, grass hay, oats, corn, grain sorghum and barley oat at Home Place. They run a beef cattle operation and sell their hay directly to local livestock owners. They've implemented an innovative irrigation re- circulation system that substantially increases irrigation efficiency and minimizes waste. Charles and Virginia Ohm purchased the prop- erty in 1934 and subse- quently sold it to their son, Charles T. Ohm, and daughter-in-law Barbara. But the family's area farm- ing tradition goes back even further, to John Ohm's great-grandparents, Thomas and Katerina Ohm.

But aside from clock- ing in and out, Murray's time is mostly spent away from the department and its activities. He instead focuses on dealing with school-related issues. Whereas before, Mur- ray was dispatched through the radio by one dispatcher, now his cell phone is pretty much his radio, with multiple peo- ple dispatching him, he said. Murray has already given his cell phone num- ber to a handful of admin- istrators who can call him at any time. He serves the entire school district's pro- grams, including Salisbury High, Independent Study and Red Bluff High. Aside from enforcing the law, he deals with behavioral issues, school rules and counseling. He has four set times, before school, a mid-morning break, lunch and after school, when he has to be out and about to interact with the students and keep tion continues today with Thomas and Katerina's great-great grandchildren. "I understand why peo- ple want to live here, but building high-end homes on 20-acre parcels and breaking up large family farms and ranches on prime agricultural soil is a shame," John Ohm said. "Development just keeps coming, and we don't want to be crowded out." According to the state's Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, farm and grazing lands decreased by nearly 900 acres between 2006 and 2008 in Tehama County. The total gross value of Tehama County agricul- tural production in 2010 was $227,571,200, according to county data. "We're happy to have been a part of permanently setting this farm aside for agriculture for a couple of reasons," said California Department of Conserva- tion Acting Director Derek Chernow. "First, this is a great piece of land belonging to a family clearly dedicated to agri- culture. Second, this is our Continued from page 1A violation of parole and driving on a suspended license: DUI violation, Mackintosh said. Bail was set at $25,000. A few days before Roberto Carlos Ibarra, 33, of Red Bluff was arrested by CHP in connection with a stolen vehicle. Ibarra was arrested about 1 a.m. Friday after a CHP officer witnessed him speeding through a construction zone on northbound Interstate 5. The officer attempted to overtake the 1996 Honda Accord seen driving 62 mph in a 55 mph zone, but it exited the freeway at Antelope Boulevard, Mackintosh said. After running the plates, it was determined the Honda had been stolen out of Red Bluff and the officer made a stop on Highway 36E, just north of Antelope Boulevard, contacting the driver who was identified as Ibarra. Ibarra, also known as Robert Ibar- ra, The Game, and Mr. Clown, was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charges of vehicle theft, receiving known stolen property: $400+ and dri- ving on a suspended license. Bail was set at $31,140. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527- 2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com. an eye on the campus perimeter. "Being in this role lets kids see me in a positive environment instead of a bad situation," Murray said. "Most of the time, people only see the police during a bad situation. My goal is the let students know they can come to law enforcement. We're here and a resource for them." Murray has his own office space inside the counseling office on the Red Bluff High campus where he can write up reports in between calls for service. At the end of each day he has to take all those reports back to the department to be inputted into the department's records. In light of his physical absence at the police department, Murray con- tinues to have strong ties there, balancing dual roles of representing the depart- ment and the high school. "Everything I do goes back to the department," he said. "I feel like I'm first project in Tehama County, and we hope other local landowners will explore the easement option as well." Ed Burton, NRCS state conservationist said, "This property has significant history in Tehama County and we are proud to help keep it in production for future generations. Its rich soil and wildlife habitat benefits are an agricultural treasure in California." Begun in 1996, the con- servancy program has pro- vided nearly $70.5 million in funding to permanently shield more than 49,300 acres of the state's best and most vulnerable agri- cultural land from devel- opment. Landowners and trusts are encouraged to part of the school adminis- tration here, but I'm also a representative of the police department." One of his goals is the continue the relationship and availability of the department to the students and schools, Murray said. School administrators have seen the positive impacts having a school resource officer has had on students and want to con- tinue the relationship with the department. The dis- trict will continue to seek grant funds to cover all or part of the school resource officer expenses in the future, Gleason said. "We feel fortunate that we have a long history of having an excellent rela- tionship with local law enforcement and having a Red Bluff Police Depart- ment officer serve as our SRO has only improved that relationship," Gleason said. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com. contact the Division of Land Resource Protection for information about the program and potential funding.
