Francisco Lares, 27, of Palm- dale was reportedly walking south in the middle of the south- bound lane on Hall Road, north of Loleta Avenue about 6:50 p.m., according to the California High- way Patrol. At that time a 37-year-old Clip- per Mills man traveling south on Hall Road in a 1999 Chevrolet 3500 pickup reportedly couldn't see Lares, who was described as wearing dark clothing, in time to react and struck the pedestrian, according to the CHP. Lares was flown to Enloe Medi- cal Center in Chico because of his injuries, according to the CHP. The driver was traveling about 55 miles per hour. Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in the incident, and no arrests were made. CORNING Pe de st ri an struck by pi ck up s uff er s major injuries Manwasreportedly walking in the middle of the southbound lane on Hall Road By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama County Board of Supervisors adopted an urgency ordinance Tuesday ban- ning the outdoor cultivation of marijuana, but offered a one- year reprieve from the new out- building requirement to growers who have been complying with the county's regulations. The ordinance, which takes effect immediately, requires all grows to occur inside a permit- ted detached accessory struc- ture and bans any grows inside buildings that are used for hu- man occupancy. The ordinance also creates a new process to schedule more timely adminis- trative hearings. As a concession to grow- ers who may have already be- gun their spring grows or pur- chased materials, the board added a clause that any cultiva- tion that is in full compliance with the previous county code as of April 1, would not be re- quired to grow in an outbuild- ing until 2016. Supervisor Candy Carlson was the lone no vote against the or- dinance, which required four- fifths passage to be adopted im- mediately. Carlson said she opposed the ordinance being listed as an ur- gency ordinance and wanted a lengthier process. She said the other board members were pos- sibly abusing their power and the focus should be on the large scale illegal grows. Carlson's sentiments echoed that of at least half the room. Many of those speaking in op- position to the ordinance cited the high costs of constructing a building and said the stricter rules would deprive them of their medicine. They also ques- tioned the county's ability to en- force the rules already in place and the role alcohol plays in the county's culture.
