An article in Tuesday's edition about the discov- ery of a drowning victim in the Sacramento River omitted key information. The body of the teen boy was discovered by two fish- ermen who called 9-1-1. The Tehama County Sher- iff's Office, which had offi- cers nearby at the Wood- son Bridge boat ramp, then responded to recover the body. The Daily News regrets the error.

Forum FROM PAGE 1 The dog, a 9-year-old golden retriever, was taken to a veterinarian, and is in tough shape, accord- ing to Foy. "Sounds like he fought hardily," Foy said of the dog. Fish and Wildlife are de- ploying a trap to the area to try and capture the offend- ing bear. Foy said it should be in place by the end of the day. If a bear is trapped, it will probably be taken to Sacra- mento to see if its DNA can be matched to that on the woman's clothing. If so, the animal will be killed as a threat. If not, it will be re- leased into the wild. For the next few days, Foy recommends residents in the area put their gar- bage in the garage or other secure area, as it's believed that's what attracted this bear. People should also keep pets and pet food in- side at night, and pick up any rotten fruit that may have fallen from trees. People who jog should carry a whistle that could scare off an attacking ani- mal, or pepper spray if they have it. Foy said bear attacks on humans are unusual, with the last one he can recall being a couple of years ago at Lake Tahoe. Reach City Editor Steve Schoonover at 896-7750.

Lassen FROM PAGE 1 By Lisa Leff The Associated Press BERKELEY A balcony that snapped off an apartment building and led to the deaths of six college stu- dents was supported by wooden beams that had been badly rotted by expo- sure to moisture, building inspectors in Berkeley, Cali- fornia, said Tuesday. The city Building and Safety Division issued a summary of initial findings from the investigation of the fatal balcony failure a week ago. Five of the students who died were from Ireland and working in the San Fran- cisco Bay Area for the sum- mer. The inspectors noted that joists that extended from the building to support the con- crete and engineered wood balcony were extensively rotted at the place where the structure broke off, flinging 13 young adults attending a 21st birthday party five sto- ries down to the street. The inspectors did not specifically say the rotten beams caused the collapse. But they called for manda- tory inspections and emer- gency changes in the local building code to prevent balconies, decks and stairs from being exposed to mois- ture. Staff members "believe that immediate adoption of therecommendationswithin this memo will be a step to- wards improving the safety of Berkeley residents in both existing buildings and those which will be built in the fu- ture," Berkeley's planning and development director Eric Angstadt wrote. Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates said last week that rotted wooden beams might have caused the collapse. He later said the theory was speculation and a cause had not been officially de- termined. Along with identify- ing dry rot in the support beams, inspectors also noted signs of decay involv- ing the 4th floor balcony just below it. The other two balconies in the 176-unit Library Gar- dens complex showed no signs of damage, they said. The joists on those struc- tures did not extend from the building. Trevor Martin, a spokes- man for building contrac- tor Segue Construction, is- sued a statement saying the company is reviewing the findings.

Badly rotted beams identified in deadly balcony collapse RYANREILLY March 21, 1981 ~ June 18, 2015 Ryan was born on March 21,1981 to parents Vicky and Tim Reilly of Coming. He graduated from Corning High School in 1999, and from Chico State in 2007 with a Teaching Credential in Social Studies. He worked at First Baptist Church for ten years as Church Administrator. On November 6, 2004, Ryan married his high school sweet- heart, Jennifer Johnson, and had his first child. Lily, in 2008. They are expecting their second child. Violet, to be bom in late October. Without a doubt, "his girls" as he called them, were the loves of his life. Ryan was a devoted husband and father, but also a de- voted son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle, friend, and community servant. He had the ability to com- municate with people in a way that left us all feeling as if we were the most special part of his day. Ryan was a thinker and problem solver like none other. He was called on daily to help others, both as part of his job, but also as a trusted friend. Ryan enjoyed cooking, gardening, boating, traveling, and keeping up on politics. But his favorite thing to do was be at his home with his wife and daughter. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. Ryan is survived by his wife Jenny Reilly, daughter Lily, and unborn daughter, Violet, parents Vicky Reilly, Tim and Karla Reilly, and sister Holly Rhoads. A memorial service is scheduled for Thursday, June 25th at 11 o'clock at First Baptist Church of Corning. Obituaries ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THE PASSING PARADE (FrommyISayofDecember1965) Last week I tookAunt Grace to the Redding Airport for a flight to San Francisco and a Delta Kappa Gamma meeting.As we awaited the departure of the plane, I noticed other outstanding citizens of Red Bluff were also in attendance awaiting their flight to St. Louis.As you recall, they represented our fair city in the Look Magazine affair.* I was flattered when several people remarked they enjoyed my column. I guess we all are looking for acceptance of one kind or another. But when the editor of this paper, Jim McGiffin, walked up and said "I enjoy your advertising copy", my bubble burst and instead of becoming another Mark Twain or Will Rogers, this column is merely a literary façade covering messages of crass commercialism. Tsk, tsk. … We received a letter from a Mrs. McDaniels of this city. She wrote of the deplorable conditions of our feedlot in Gerber. She wrote, in part, "Why don't you provide shelter for those poor animals in your feedlot? It's not humane."Amen to that, madam. We certainly don't like it anymore than you or the animals do. When TexAllen, our feedlot manager, and I go down to look over the cattle after church, our suits often get quite messy. So, to tidy things up a bit, we have just completed a 400 foot shed for $10,000 and another for $6,000. Unfortunately we have run out of money before we have run out of sympathy and our building program is on hold until next year. … George Selvester, our boning room supervisor, has a son Raymond who was injured playing football atAntelope School. Although he required abdominal surgery, he is out of danger and on the mend. One can get hurt playing football, and I kept that in mind every time I tried to play the game. I remember the time 20 years ago when Coach Elmer Martin was absent and line coach Spike Hunter decided to toughen up the team. He devised a routine where a running back with two blocking backs would run down the field while defense players were to rush in from the side and wipe out the runners by sacrificing their own bodies, so to speak. "Wipe out all three?" I asked incredulously. "Yes, Minch," he replied. "All three at once!" The carnage began. One after another our varsity players raced across the hard pan turf and went down with a bone cracking thud! Dick O'Bryan broke a finger, Clair Channel wrenched a knee…and Jack Growney broke his leg! The valiant warriors were carried off the field…and then it was my turn. I thought, "Good Lord! What am I doing here?" I looked about wildly to escape the mayhem. However, just as three brutes came thundering toward me, Spike called off the drill…and my life was spared. Thus ends another chapter in my book of gridiron glory. Robert Minch 1929- *? WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 2015 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
