ByFenitNirappiland Scott Smith TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO California farm- ers who hold rights to water that date back as far as the Gold Rush are bracing for their first state-or- dered conservation in decades, as a record drought prompts some of the deepest cuts yet in the coun- try's most productive agricultural state. After telling cities and towns to slash water use by 25 percent and cutting deliveries to some farmers and others, state officials said Wednesday that they would start mandatory cuts this week to the state's oldest rights hold- ers, who are historically spared from water restrictions. DROUGHT Ce nt ur y- ol d water rights hold er s fa ce state cuts Staff report RED BLUFF A Tehama County Sheriff's Office patrol vehi- cle crashed around 11:20 p.m. Wednesday and the driver was flown to Mercy Medical Center in Redding with minor injuries. The 39-year-old driver, whose name was not released, was trav- eling northbound on State Route 99E south of 68th Avenue in Dairyville at around 60 mph, ac- cording to a California Highway Patrol collision report released Thursday morning. He lost con- trol of the 2011 Ford Crown Victo- ria when it entered a slight curve in the road. It was raining at the time and the car slid across both the north- bound and southbound lanes be- fore leaving the roadway and striking a tree, the report said. The driver was wearing his seat belt. Both lanes of SR 99E were closed for a time to accommodate a helicopter landing. No further information was available.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF On Wednesday, the Maker Summer program was launched with a kick-off event at the State Theatre, including sev- eral booths by local organizations and a movie, "If You Build It," meant to inspire Tehama County youth to get out and be creative this summer. A collaborative effort amongst the Tehama County Department of Education, Expect More Tehama, the Green Room Community Art Studio, Safe Education and Recre- ation For Rural Families and other groups, Maker Summer is meant to keep students learning through- out the summer to keep them from losing ground academically while away from school, said Melissa Mendonca, Tehama County Arts Council chairwoman. The summer program is a part of a nationwide Maker Space movement that launched in Te- hama County with the creation of a Maker Space at the Tehama County Department of Education in January, she said. "We're going to have someone at the Green Room art studio both for classes and open studio hours," Mendonca said. "There will be someone here to support projects for those who need it or just to have the doors open for those who want to just have a space to create. As a community, it is important to have a place to gather and create together. It makes better art and certainly a better community." At Wednesday's gathering, par- ents had the chance to pick up a booklet of crafting ideas from card weaving to LED popsicle flash- lights and origami that they can do with their children along with supplies for the card weaving. They were given a booklet of Maker Summer events from ed- ucation art projects at the Green Room and reading activities and challenges at the Tehama County Library to the Tehama County Department of Education Maker Space. The Department of Educa- tion, 1135 Lincoln St., will kick off its summer activities 1-3 p.m. Mon- day, June 15. There will be a Maker Summer camp held through the SERRF program from June 15 to July 17 with ending dates varying by site. For more information on SERRF camps, call 527-5811.
