He became a reserve engineer for the department in November 2007 before moving into a full-time engineer position in September 2008. "He does so much for this department and this community," Barber said. "I could have written a book on it. He does a lot of work with kids, adults, seniors and so much of it is behind the scenes. Scott is a driving force behind a lot of our community work." Spangler represented Red Bluff Fire in a lawn mower race at 4th of July festivities several years ago, is a part of a group that rings the bell for Sal- vation Army at Christmas time and collects funds at the boot drive during Round-Up for various Red Bluff Volunteer Fire De- partment projects. Spangler was part of the group that worked with the Bend Jelly 4-H on the restoration of Putty-Putt, the depart- ment's 1918 antique fire engine, and started a spe- cial breakfast for the Red Bluff Union High School football team on Fridays during the season.

Schmidt added that Zer- meno stated he was prob- ably wanted in Fresno County for a homicide, and police subsequently located a warrant for his arrest. A spokesman for the FCSO, Tony Botti, said Tuesday that Zermeno will be held in Tehama County until he's able to be trans- ported back to Fresno County, where he will be booked on one count of homicide. According to the FCSO, Zermeno is wanted for questioning in the shoot- ing death of a man on Thursday. About 2 a.m. Thursday, state Department of For- estry and Fire Protection personnel responded to a medical call at a ranch in the 12100 block of North Russell Avenue near Fire- baugh, which is about 43 miles west of Fresno, ac- cording to the FCSO. Firefighters found an injured man lying on the ground, and a closer ex- amination revealed that the man had been shot, ac- cording to the FCSO. The man, identified as 33-year- old Hugo Gonzalez Vargas, later died at the scene. Fresno County Sheriff's detectives interviewed witnesses to establish a motive and identify possi- ble suspects, according to the FCSO. Zermeno is said to be a friend of the vic- tim, and detectives have not been able to speak with him. As of Monday, Zerme- no's whereabouts had been unknown, but the FCSO said he has family in Washington state and Mexico and may have been headed to either of those locations. Thursday's homicide was the third in Fresno County this year, accord- ing to the FCSO. Homicide FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press SANTA BARBARA Author- ities said Tuesday that two men were arrested in the shooting of two students near the University of Cali- fornia, Santa Barbara, in the same community where a stabbing and shooting ram- page left six students dead a year ago. The latest attack on Mon- day night left one student with a stomach wound and the other with a chest injury. Both remained hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening. The attack occurred dur- ing a fight that began after twomencametothevictims' apartment a few blocks from campus, authorities said. Neither of the suspects are students, and the shooting had nothing to do with last year's killings in Isla Vista, authorities said. Investigators have not determined a motive for the shooting on Monday. A handgun was recovered at the scene. Suspect James Joshua Taylor, 22, of Lompoc was held by neighbors until po- lice arrived and then taken to a hospital for head injuries that authorities said were sustained in the fight. The other suspect drove away in a white sedan, prompting a search of the campus and a lockdown of student dormitories for about two hours. Suspect Jose Guadalupe Gutierrez, 19, of Goleta later checked himself into a hos- pital with unspecified inju- ries, Santa Barbara County sheriff's spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said Tuesday. The victims are both in their early 20s but their names were not released. UCSB student Collin Mack, who lives nearby, said he and friends went outside after hearing sirens and saw the victims sprawled on the front steps of their apart- ment. "We saw bloody clothing. But it didn't look super seri- ous, because when we saw them go into the ambulance they looked pretty stable," Mack told KABC-TV. Gutierrez and Taylor have not yet been charged and it wasn't immediately known if they have lawyers. The violence occurred in the same area as the ram- page last May. The square- mile community of small apartments and houses is home to thousands of uni- versity students. Elliot Rodger killed six UCSBstudentsandwounded 14 other people before killing himself. Rodger, who wasn't a stu- dent or alumnus, had posted a manifesto and a series of online videos voicing con- tempt for everyone from his roommates to the human race.

Two people were shot and a third was assaulted Monday night in an attack near the University of California, Santa Barbara, in the same neighborhood where a man staged a killing rampage last year. By Kevin Freking The Associated Press WASHINGTON Rep. Adam Schiff said Tuesday that the timing was not right for him to run for the U.S. Senate from California, be- coming the latest high-pro- file state Democrat to re- ject a bid for Barbara Box- er's seat. Schiff said that his re- sponsibilities as the rank- ing Democrat on the House Permanent Select Commit- tee on Intelligence took pre- cedence because it gives him a chance to contribute to the nation's security. "Having only recently achieved this position, I was very reluctant to leave it," Schiff said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'll have a good opportu- nity to continue to work on the issues that I care most about." Boxer's retirement was expected to unleash a log- jam of ambitious Demo- cratic challengers seek- ing higher office in 2016. Instead, Attorney Gen- eral Kamala Harris is the only Democrat to enter the race while others such as Lt. Governor Gavin New- som and former Los An- geles Mayor Antonio Vil- laraigosa have taken their names out of consider- ation. 'FIGHTING THE ODDS' Rep.

Obituaries ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THE PASSING PARADE High up on the south face of North Yolla Bolly mountain, there is an area, just above the tree line, that is a place of mystery and majesty. It is a clearing, mostly level, in which Indians camped ages ago. It was probably situated to give them a clear view to the south and east in the direction in which their enemies might come to challenge their domain…their enemies eventually became the white man.All that remained of their encampment, in my day, were arrowheads…probably thousands of them. That would have been nearly 70 years ago. In a recent obituary, lovingly constructed by his family, Bard Saunders was described, in part, as a rugged mountain man… and this was his territory to roam over much of the 86 years of his life. His father, Ellison Saunders, from his base at Saddle Camp on Tomhead Mountain, for many seasons packed into the west wilderness hunters eager to get a chance to bag black tailed deer that once roamed the area in great abundance. It was ironic that Ellison would, years later, suffer a fatal accident on horseback, on a trail into the area. The distance along a ridge north and west from Saddle Camp to a cabin called "The Saunders Place", was estimated to be about 16 miles (although a survey map suggests closer to 10 miles) and accessible only by foot or horseback. The cabin was located further down the slope from the Indian encampment and situated at the foot of a wide meadow which featured a very cold spring.After first arriving, travelers would deposit their canisters in the spring in anticipation of a cold drink later in the day. The small cabin was initially constructed of wood, but destruction by marauding black bears searching for food eventually gave way to sheet metal siding. But even that did not always prevent their gaining access. An area below the cabin served as a refuse dump. One night Ellison heard movement down in that area, quickly pulled on his boots, and took a naked run in the moonlight in pursuit of the bear. He may not have been successful in his bear pursuit, but the description of the event lived long after the event. These recollections come from many years of association, first with Dave Sale at the Lincoln Street Elementary School Kindergarten…and then, in the 3rd grade with Bard, who had transferred in from the Reeds Creek school west of town. We three became inseparable friends which often led to trips to the Yolla Bolly wilderness area. Perhaps then it was the trips to the mountains, and the solitary pristine setting at the time, that cemented our relationship. In later years, after my discharge from the service and becoming immersed in the demands of the meat plant, I lost close contact with Bard and Dave. But the memory of those days in the warmth of the summer sun, stretched out on our bellies in search of the perfect arrowhead, lives on.
