About 9:40 a.m. Saturday, po- lice volunteer Bill Conrad ob- served a white man riding a bi- cycle and casing cars in the Walmart parking lot on South Main Street, according to a de- partment press release.

According to the City Council's agenda, city staff is recommend- ing that council members adopt a resolution declaring a "Stage III" water shortage within the city. Stage III conservation mea- sures would limit the city's water customers to two-day-per week landscape watering, prohibit or- namental fountains without a water recycling system and also prohibit the filling of swimming RED BLUFF Water-saving measures on council agenda Citystaffrecommendsdeclaring 'Stage III' water shortage By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Red Bluff Re- lay For Life, which raises funds for the American Cancer Society, celebrated 18 years in Tehama County Saturday at Vista Prepa- ratory Academy. It celebrates 30 nationally in 2015. "Cancer survivors are liv- ing proof that we are making a difference in the fight against this disease," said past Chair- woman Jackie Frazier at open- ing the ceremony. "They have endured days of illness, medi- cal appointments and tears, yet they are here with us today as we honor their crusade against this disease. We celebrate their lives by doing something to pro- vide hope to those who are fight- ing cancer." In addition to cancer survi- vors, Frazier also recognized caregivers who are the lifeline for survivors. Survivors, in turn, are the heart of relay, she said. Frazier lost a parent to liver cancer, she said. "Cancer touches everyone," Frazier said. "When we give pre- sentations at the school every child raises their hands when we ask who has been touched by cancer. They all know what the disease is." Julie Williams, who served as chairwoman for 2015, has been involved with Relay For Life since Debbie Miller started the event here 18 years ago, Williams said. "I was a manager at the Walmart (Distribution Center) and it has a team," Williams said. "As time progressed I lost family and have had others who have been diagnosed with can- cer. This event is my way of giv- ing back. It's really important that we get the cancer education and what American Cancer Soci- ety has to offer out there." Cancer statistics have changed a lot since Relay first began. It used to be 1 in 3 people with cancer survived. It is now 7 out of 10, Frazier said. "It's been amazing," Frazier said of the event. "We had 29 teams come out today. That's 10 new teams." Deborah Walden of Red Bluff was one of several cancer sur- vivors creating a sea of purple for the Survivors' Lap, which ended with Red Bluff Fire De- partment personnel handing out medals to the group. In ad- dition to walking as a survivor, Walden walked to honor her for- mer co-worker at The Home De- pot, Letty, who died in 2014 af- ter completing seven years of laps as a survivor. "Everybody in the community knew her," Walden said. "She was under 5 feet tall and just a spark of fire. She's the one I went to when I had been diagnosed. She was a big help to me."
