The T-shirts will be given to TIMOTHY WARREN ESTES Timothy Warren Estes of Paskenta was taken from this earth suddenly on December 17th in the hills above Paskenta, doing what he loved, enjoying the outdoors with the love of his life and partner, his wife Lisa, his best friend Garrett Cox, along with his wife Sunshine. Tim was born to Mike and Teresa Estes of Corning on March 16, 1981. Tim is survived by his wife Lisa, and their two sons Khale Bridger and Dane Cob, as well as his brother Mike of Nebraska, and sister Debra of Corning. He also leaves behind scores of relatives and friends who will miss him dearly. Tim grew up in Corning, where he participated in many community activities. He was active in Boy Scouts, Little League baseball, Corning Jr. Rodeo, and was on the High School Rodeo Team where he rode bulls. After graduating from Corning High in 2000, he began a lifelong career at Walmart D.C., but what he enjoyed most of all was hunt- ing and fishing. He loved to backpack into the Yolla Bolly wilderness on the hunt for the "Prize Buck". He also spent lots of time on Black Butte Lake fishing or just hav- ing fun with his friends and family. He was an avid duck hunter and he even designed and built a custom duck blind for his boat with the help of his Dad, and another best friend, Matt Battiatio. He spent many hours training his yellow Labs, Pike, and then Red how to retrieve ducks which they loved as much as he did. His other hunting dog, Boon, a Queensland mix, was his constant compan- ion, and was his best dog at his wedding. At the annual Estes Deep Camp rendezvous he was known at the "Golden Child", because if there was game to be found, Tim was going to be the one to find it. Tim was a devoted husband, a proud and loving father, and a treasured son, as well as a true and loyal friend, of- ten relied upon to "be there" if you needed help.

STAND Continued from page 1A there were at least three loud bangs heard, includ- ing one that was substan- tially louder than the rest and was accompanied by a bright flash. The acrid smell from the first round of tear gas caused several witnesses crowding both corners of BALLOT Continued from page 1A envisioned regulatory scheme would be financed through application and registration fees, as well as through a 2.5 percent retail sales tax on marijuana and pot-infused prod- ucts. Most of the proceeds would go toward running the enforcement program, although any profits from the fees would be earmarked for medical marijuana research and, in the only beneficiary not directly tied to the industry, to sup- porting uninsured emergency room visits in the state. Coalition members started crafting the initiative earlier this year after California voters in November 2010 rejected a first-of-its-kind ballot measure that would have legalized recreational use of the drug by adults and authorized local governments to impose taxes on its sale and cultivation. Some medical marijuana backers were among the mea- sure's most vocal opponents. California was the first state to legalize the medical use of marijuana, through a 1996 citizens' initiative. The pro- gram created under that law is by far the most liberal of the 16 states that allow marijuana use for medical purposes. Doctors may recommend pot to a patient for any ailments the street just past the police tape to clear the area voluntarily before Red Bluff Police Chief Paul Nanfito approached, advising on-lookers that they should remove them- selves by at least a three- to four-block radius for their safety. Red Bluff Police cor- doned off the area about 2 p.m., initially blocking off a one-block area in each direction from the resi- dence, Nanfito said. About 2:30 p.m., an officer was seen escorting an elderly woman and at least the houses on the same side of the street had been evacuated, Nanfito said. According to a witness who was on Franklin Street when police first showed up, the incident began about 1 p.m. The witness said he saw a man run out from the residence and tell police he had guns and wasn't afraid to use them. Some area businesses were evacuated, according to scanner reports. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com. for which they think it may provide relief, for example, and the state has no centralized system for monitoring users or the hundreds of storefront dispensaries that have sprung up to supply them. THE PASSING PARADE We often get the idea that Red Bluff's population is growing by leaps and bounds, but according to history, we have only this year caught up to the number of people that were here in 1860. However, some California cities have had extraordinary growth. For instance, Russell Peterson, who began his post office career in the building on Walnut next to the railroad tracks where Otto Seem has his dry cleaning business, is now assistant Postmaster in Hayward. When he started down there, there were 16 employees. Now there are 240. * ** ** Friends of former State Senator D Jack Metzger will be glad to know that he joined the Community church in McArthur last week. He has been inactive the past few years because of ill health, but during the worst of the depression in 1933, the Senator nearly single handedly kept Red Bluff business going. He bought many buildings on Main Street and spent money improving them. One of the things he did was move the undertaking parlor off Main Street. He said that with the town as dead as it was, there was no advantage in advertizing it to the tourist who drove through town. He was also instrumental , along with Nick Nickerson and Walter Stoll, in starting the 600 Block Merchants Association and getting them to print script when there was no money in circulation after the banks closed March 2nd, 1933. (Note: Dave paid Metzger's bill at St. Elizabeth Hospital when the Senator was on his last legs and broke) * ** ** Last week I wrote an item about enjoying work. A good example would be Henry Schafer of Schafer Oil and Fuel. He started business 55 years ago delivering wooden blocks from the big mill that used to be across the river bridge where Ranberg's Auto Court is now. He remembers going into the old Tehama County Bank a few years later and asking the manager, Mr. Cahoone, to loan him money to buy a new horse to pull his wagon. He was granted the loan and then in another few years bought his first truck. He has progressed rapidly ever since and now has a fleet of the trucks and a lot of men working for him. Is it any wonder that he still enjoys working although nearly 80 years old? * ** ** A mother had experienced a very trying day. Her four children had spent the day following her from room to room pulling on her skirt and begging to be picked up and carried. When she thought she could not stand it anymore, there was a knock at the door. When she opened it, a representative of a well known religious cult began his speech with, "Madam, did you know that the world is coming to an end any minute?" was called in. The California Conser- vation Center (CCC) in Susanville has sent a Cri- sis Response Team and Investigative Services Unit to the area to help in the search. Turner had not located as of 12:30 p.m., but escape apprehension efforts are continuing, eighth graders at the end of the school year after they attend a work- shop about the A-G course require- ments needed to attend college. Helping students at that grade will help them be better prepared to make the right decisions in high school. "If you start high school with the idea that you're going to go to col- lege, even if later you decide not to go, at least it will be your decision," Rabalais said. "If students start get- ting these requirements completed it won't be a college or someone else saying they can't go to college because they don't have the require- ments. It's important that each per- son gets to make the choice, not Pieper said. Anyone seeing Turner should call 911, call the CCC Watch Commander at 257-2181, ext. 4173 or law enforcement authori- ties immediately. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews. com. someone else." Even though she was already well on track to applying to college when the program started and was not a direct beneficiary she believes Expect More will help many stu- dents go to college, Rabalais said. "I absolutely believe Expect More is one of the best programs that has come out of the Tehama County area," she said. T-shirt donations are accepted at any time. Donations can be dropped off at the Tehama County Depart- ment of Education. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527- 2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com.
