PAIR Continued from page 1A In the 10 miles to the interstate, the suspects were seen driving on the wrong side of the road passing the Dibble Creek Fire Station and McCoy Road, logs said. California Highway Patrol officers took over the chase when the sus- pects fled north on the interstate, but lost sight of the Kia minutes later. About 15 minutes after the pursuit was called off, deputies searching on Jellys Ferry Road spotted the Kia driving north toward the Shasta County line near Battle Creek and the Coleman Fish Hatch- ery, logs said. The vehicle was going about 90 mph when it turned west near Ash Creek Road and onto Balls Ferry Road, logs said. At some point on Balls Ferry Road, the Kia hit a deer but didn't stop, logs said. Then, the vehicle left the roadway and drove onto the railroad tracks near Trefoil Lane where it got stuck, the release said. The suspects fled the vehi- cle. Carlsson was appre- hended at the scene, but Romano escaped initially, the release said. Shasta County Sheriff's deputies, Anderson Police officers and Redding area CHP officers responded to assist with the pursuit. Union Pacific was called and alerted about the Kia on the tracks and deputies began searching the area for the second suspect. Romano was found just after 3:30 a.m., about three hours later, hiding in a bathroom at the Chevron gas station on Fourth Street in Cottonwood, the release said. "The deputies were doing an area check for the fleeing suspect and that was a great place to check and it paid off," said Lt. Dave Greer. About nine pounds of marijuana was recovered from the vehicle, the release said. The street value of the marijuana, although it can vary depending on quality and location, is between $40,000 and $60,000, Greer said. Carlsson was booked into the Tehama County Jail on charges of evading a public officer with disre- gard for safety, possession of marijuana for sale, sell- ing marijuana and obstructing a public offi- cer. Bail was set at $103,000. Romano was booked on charges of possession of marijuana for sale, sell- ing marijuana and obstructing a public offi- cer. Bail was set at $53,000. As of Tuesday afternoon, Romano was no longer in custody at the Tehama County Jail, but the department would not confirm whether he posted bail. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailyne ws.com.

The driver, later identified through suspect description and video from the restaurant, yielded at the intersection of Edith Avenue and Colusa Street. The officer saw a burlap bag in the back of the Jeep that appeared to be the source of the smell and saw marijuana inside the bag. As the officer began to approach the driver, he took off in the Jeep. The officer returned to his vehi- cle and along with another officer began a pursuit.

SPREE Continued from page 1A last week in California, the affidavit said. If true, that could be a basis for federal hate-crime charges. Emily Langlie, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle, confirmed Tuesday that her office had been in touch with counterparts in Snohomish County as well as federal prosecutors in other states to determine where the pair should be prosecuted. Neither defendant spoke during Tuesday's hearing, expect briefly to their lawyers, and they rarely made eye contact. Previous weapons and vehicle theft charges were dropped, and the judge ordered them held without bail. Their appointed attorney, Donald Wahlberg, said he did not know anything about the case beyond what had been reported. In interviews with a reporter and police, the couple said they killed Pedersen's father because he molested two young relatives and killed his wife because she knew and still supported him.

Jon Holzhauer, 18, of Red Bluff was arrested and a 16-year-old boy was cited to the Tehama Coun- ty Probation Department following a tip Red Bluff Police received from a res- ident. That in turn led to Tuesday's arrest. Places hit included Jackson Street and South Jackson Street up to Luther Road and Walnut Street. The Walmart shop- ping center was hit near Raley's, as was the former Blockbuster building and the cab of a commercial truck parked behind those businesses. A 16-year-old boy and his 17-year-old brother were cited in connection with graffiti reported on Sept. 22 at the train trestle underpass on Willow Street, Sanders said. The first arrest was that of Shane Thomas McKean on Sept. 18 in connection with the vandalism of First Methodist Church, 525 David Ave. "While it is believed most of the arrests have been connected to the rivalry, this can't be stated with certainty," Sanders said. "We can say with some certainty that the last three individuals arrested were also responsible for the recent graffiti on Ante- lope." The cost of damage is unknown at this point, however, it is definitely into thousands of dollars at this point, Sanders said. As of Oct. 4, Red Bluff Police had 67 incidents of vandalism reported since Aug. 1, up from the 10 reported in the same peri- od in 2010, he said. Each incident could be Avenue until he was outside city limits, a press release said. Driving at speeds as high as 85 mph, Rogers failed to stop or slow at stop signs and drove on the wrong side of the road, going down back roads. Eventually, after speeding west- bound on Gallagher Avenue and over an overpass, Rogers returned to city limits, going north on Edith where he went onto an old driveway into an orchard, just north of Black- burn Avenue, following the orchard back toward the Spring Mountain Apartments. Officers saw Rogers exit the vehicle at the apartments and flee into the complex and started a foot pursuit, however, they lost sight of him.

They then drove to the Pedersens' home in Everett. Grigsby said she herself slit Leslie Pedersen's throat, and they headed south in Red's Jeep with his body inside. They ditched the car off a steep embankment, and killed Cody Myers, who was on his way to a jazz festival on the Oregon coast, because his name sounded Jewish, according to Matheson's affidavit. Myers was a devout Christian. When she was arrested, Grigsby said ''the couple was on their way to Sacramento to 'kill more Jews,''' Mathe- son wrote. Grigsby and Pedersen were arrested outside Yuba City, Calif., when a police officer spotted them in Myers' car. Authorities had been tracking them by use of stolen cred- it cards and had warned police in several states to be on the lookout for them. Pedersen, 31, initially refused to talk with police, but on Saturday, he reconsidered. THE PASSING PARADE " He bought the farm." When we hear that remark, it often has nothing to do with actually buying a farm. It's an expression used in the airplane business, meaning someone has died in a plane crash. That someone, recently, was Vince Flynn, the leading farmer in my part of California. Vince was only 46, yet already had made quite a name for himself as a highly successful agriculturist. His funeral was one of the largest in memory around here; local papers gave him more space than they did even for a recently departed Superior Court judge. When my father died in 1964 Vince's company, Pacific Farms, bought our 500-acre orchard, which was sold to pay estate taxes. A side bar to that sale: My father had said to me, "If something happens to me, you should sell the meat plant and keep hold of the farm. Farm land will always increase in value and give you a good living. After all, people will be eating fruits, nuts and vegetables even if they are not eating meat." At the time of Father's death, however, we were making very good money at the meat plant, and the orchard was having a tough time. Newly planted trees—more than 7,000 of them—blew down in a wind storm So we hung onto the plant and sold the farm to Vince for a reasonable price. As the years went by, our profits in the meat business roller-coastered up and down, then finally came to a sudden halt. The farm, however, did well, and from its earnings Vince was able to buy even more land. At the time of his death he owned 5,000 acres. Vince Flynn smiled a lot. He was polite and did not lose his Courtesy photo Nearly 100 Tehama County residents attended the Women's Right to Vote:100 Years Strong event on Sunday sponsored by the Tehama County Democrats. The gathering was held to recognize and honor the 100th anniversary of California Women's Right to Vote. As part of the celebration, several Tehama County women were honored as Women Who Make A Difference award winners. Awards were non-partisan and based solely on the contributions these amazing women have made to Tehama County. Pictured here are the award winners along with Betty Yee from the California State Board of Equalization, who was the guest speaker. From left, are Venita Philbrick, Jessie Woods, Delores May, Betty Yee, Mary Alice George and C. Allene Dering. Rosemarie Boitano was also named an award winner, but she was unable to attend the event. Also honored were Women Who Make A Difference nominees: Jackie Baker, Ruth Deike, Pat-Houck Talbert, Lana Kitchel, Gail Locke, Barbara McIver, Melissa Mendonca, June Quincy and Sharon Wickenheiser. temper, and his family thought the world of him. He had an even disposition. He was successful in business, and so therefore was never looking for a hand-out, nor was he depressing to be around. Yet, with all his financial gain and dedication to his business ventures, he still managed to spread himself over the countryside, heading up a charity here, serving on an advisory board there—donating, donating, donating time, energy and money. He was a director of Diamond-Sunsweet, the Sacramento Valley Landowners, and was state chairman of the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service. He also headed many local charities. "Vince was the kind of guy that you really wanted in a community. He was a wonderful guy who always saw the best in people. He would have made a great politician because he took everybody at face value,'' said a flying buddy of his. He apparently ran a big enterprise with many employees without being a dictator. One of his managers said,' I saw more tears today in the eyes of his workers than I think I've ever seen." That pretty much sums up what it takes to take one final bow after you've taken your big bow.
