PUBLIC NOTICE MissingRed Bluff man returns home By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF In an ongoing crack- down on people who have failed to pay child support, Tehama County District Attorney's investigators said an Orland man was arrested Thursday. The authorities arrested Ruben Camacho, 34, on a warrant for fail- ure to provide child support and vi- olating a court order, according to a press release. The warrant was is- sued out of Tehama County Supe- rior Court, and officials said Cama- cho had additional warrants for failure to appear. "This is part of an ongoing ef- fort between the Tehama County District Attorney's Office and the Tehama County Department of Child Support Services to investi- gate and prosecute those who fail to pay their court ordered obliga- tions to provide support for their children," the release said. "If you owe child support and are not pay- ing you are subject to criminal or civil investigation and arrest." Earlier this month the District Attorney's Office announced it made five arrests during a child support warrant sweep. Officials said Tehama County handles more than 4,200 cases of child support, and about 82 per- cent of those cases have past-due amounts totaling more than $49 million.

SERRF Administrator Karla Stroman said the program sup- ports not just students and their families, but the entire commu- nity by keeping young people in a safe environment after school. Parents most of the time pick up their child with homework already completed, leading to increase of quality family time, Stroman said. But the program does more than that. "The grant itself employs a lot of people in this commu- nity," Stroman said.

"If you owe child support and are not paying you are subject to criminal or civil investigation and arrest." — Press release from the Tehama County Superior Court By Scott Sonner The Associated Press RENO, NEV. Federal wranglers plan an unusual wild horse roundup near the Nevada-Utah line, where ranchers and rural residents say protected mus- tangs are knocking down fences and impregnating domesticated mares. The Bureau of Land Manage- ment intends to conduct what it describes as a public safety and nuisance gather of about 120 wild horses beginning next month in eastern Nevada. The agency typically conducts roundups to reduce herds it says are on overgrazed public lands and in danger of starvation. In the upcoming roundup, agency officials say they must haul away roaming bands of mustangs wreaking havoc on private property in Butte Valley, and get horses off U.S. Highway 93, where they pose a danger to motorists 120 miles south of Ely. "Wild stallions have torn down, jumped over or ran through fences on private land owners' facilities which have resulted in injured domestic horses and domestic mares be- ing bred by wild horses," the BLM said in an environmental assessment. The mustangs also have de- stroyed sprinkler systems, gar- dens, lawns, trees and hay- stacks, the agency said. The agency says the esti- mated 1,800 wild horse for the 5,780 square miles at issue is six times the maximum number bu- reau scientists estimate can be sustained by the public range- land shared with cattle, sheep and other wildlife.
