ScottandMarisaSmith ScottandMarisaSmith are scheduled to speak at 10 a.m. Sunday at Bethel Assembly of God, 625 Lu- ther Road in Red Bluff. Red Bluff High School graduate Scott Smith first went to Spain in 1975 with a group from Bethel Assembly headed by Dan Dawson. They went to work in a Teen Challenge coffee house in the coastal town of Sitges, near Bar- celona. There he met Marisa, a Spanish Basque, who was running the coffee house. He also got to know the reason he was born — to be a missionary to this very spiritually needy Western European country. They have been fortu- nate to plant four churches themselves and to have vi- tal roles in the starting of over 30 other congrega- tions in various parts of Spain. Scott also started the missions department, the youth department, the preacher's kids' as- sociation, the lay leader- ship summits and several other national ministries for the Assemblies of God of Spain. Marisa is the president of the Spanish Bible school board and is very active in that ministry. The Bible school has grown dramat- ically in the last several years and is now under- going a massive remodel to bring it up to code and legalize the facilities. With the phenomenal growth in this decade of the number of churches in the Spanish Assemblies of Good, Scott and Marisa are working in two major areas of church growth — accelerating church plant- ing using the resources available to them as As- semblies of God mission- aries and developing lead- ership in a growing move- ment. Scott and Marisa Smith to speak at Bethel Assembly MISSIONARIES JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS Cal Fire and Red Bluff Fire respond about 3:15p.m. Friday to reports of an equipment-caused fire in a field next to the slough at Adobe Road and Northbound Interstate 5. The fire contained to a quarter acre by about 3:30p.m. BLAZE FIRE AT ADOBE ROAD, I-5 Other notable general fund expenses in the bud- get, according to the staff report, include a 75 percent increase in workers' com- pensation costs, resulting in a $265,000 general fund cost, $35,000 to support the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce and $56,000 to hire a civil engi- neer "to assist public works with upcoming and ongo- ing projects." The city is projected to begin the 2015-2016 year with a general fund bal- ance of about $790,000, and end with a balance of about $574,000, according to the staff report. The decease "is mainly due to increased costs for worker's compensa- tion insurance, liability insurance, health insur- ance, (and) Public Em- ployee Retirement System (PERS)," according to the report. "These increases in costs are dictated by outside sources. Our com- puter network system maintenance and repairs, and funding for hiring a new associate civil engi- neer are increased costs (needed) for the City to op- erate efficiently." The city also was able to keep all streets workers em- ployed full-time despite re- duced gas tax revenue of about $55,300, according to the report.

The City Council is sched- uled to meet at 7 p.m. Tues- day at 555 Washington St. Council FROM PAGE 1 "Red Bluff Elementary is at the forefront of education technology for teachers and students, and our participa- tion in this summit helps us maintain and expand the outstanding programs we offer" said Superintendent William McCoy in a press release issued Friday. The workshops offer ex- pert support to create or build upon an existing dig- ital learning plan imple- mented by highly trained teachers. The goal is per- sonalized learning experi- ences for all students, par- ticularly those from tra- ditionally underserved communities. "The Future Ready Re- gional Summits will be a forum where local leaders can share knowledge with their peers, engage lead- ers from outside their re- gion and better equip them- selves with skills and tools necessary to provide stu- dents with what they need to be successful in life," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan in the release. The summits are an im- portant step toward real- izing the goals of the Con- nectED Initiative to con- nect 99 percent of students to high-speed Internet and empower teachers with the technology they need to transform teaching and learning. The regional sum- mits are expected to engage more than 1,800 district leaders nationwide. "Future ready is about helping district leaders le- verage technology to em- power teachers, engage students and close persis- tent equity gaps by creat- ing a learning environment where all students have ac- cess to the tools and exper- tise they need to be pre- pared for the future," said Richard Culatta, director of the Education Depart- ment's Office of Educational Technology.

Take time to C a l l 8 7 7- 4 D A D 4 11 o r v i s i t w w w . f a t h e r h o o d . g o v By Judy Lin The Associated Press SACRAMENTO California grew modestly last year to 38.7 million people, with San Diego and San Jose experiencing the largest gains among major cities, state demographers an- nounced Friday. California grew by about 1 percent, adding 358,000 residents, in 2014, according to the state De- partment of Finance. The growth rate mirrors that of recent years, and the pop- ulation gains were widely distributed throughout the state. Los Angeles grew 1.1 percent by adding nearly 43,000 people and re- mains the state's largest city with nearly 4 million people. However, the sec- ond- and third-largest cit- ies each grew at a rate of about 1.5 percent. As of Jan. 1, San Diego had nearly 1.4 million peo- ple, and San Jose had 1 mil- lion people. San Francisco was the state's fourth-larg- est city with 845,602 peo- ple, and Fresno placed fifth by recording 520,159 people. San Joaquin County was the fastest-growing county in the state, adding nearly 11,000 people. It was closely followed by Impe- rial County and three San Francisco Bay Area coun- ties, including San Fran- cisco, Alameda and Con- tra Costa. The fastest-growing city in the state was Taft in Kern County. Taft, which reopened a correctional fa- cility, grew 6.3 percent to 9,500 residents. California continues to add people even as the state endures its fourth year of drought, prompt- ing tough conservation efforts. Earlier this week, Gov. Jerry Brown called for $10,000 fines for resi- dents and businesses that waste the most water dur- ing the drought. Brown previously or- dered a mandatory 25 per- cent reduction in state- wide water use in cities and towns after volun- tary conservation wasn't enough to meet his goals. CALIFORNIA Population grows about 1 percent to 38.7 million MAXINEROBINSON September 12, 1929 ~ April 19, 2015 Maxine Robinson a resident of Los Molinos, died sun- day the 19th of April at her home. Maxine was born in Fortuna, CA on September 12th 1929 and was raised in Zenia CA, where she worked as a Postmaster for 16 years. She married Darrell Robinson March 17th 1947. They welcomed three sons, Don, Bill, and Tim. They moved to their home in Los Molinos in 1996 and shortly after Darrell passed away. Maxine made many generous dona- tions to Shriners Childrens Hospital for many years. Max- ine always had a love for music and played many differ- ent insturments. She began playing the keyboard at a lo- cal jam session where she met her 15 year companion Al- bert Rankin who passed away May 20th 2014. Maxine is survived by her sons Don, Bill, and Tim, grandsons, Josh, Tyrel, Sam, Ben, and Aaron, grand daughters, Christina, Tamara, and Chelsea, and great grand children Justin, Alissa, and Kenneth. In the end Maxine went to be with her husband of 49 and 1/2 years and other family mem- bers in the company of the lord. Maxine had written this poem years ago; If I should go to heaven before I think its time, Don't fuss and fret about it for I know I will be fine, The lord has a job planned for me and what it is I do not know, I know the lord will guide me right and give me the helping hand, There have been times in my life that I did stray, I didn't have as much faith in the lord as I do today, If I should go to heaven before I think its time, Its not that I will be leaving you with the lord I will be fine.
