Wreck FROM PAGE 1 HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS The final leg team of the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run heads back to the bus Monday to continue their travels toward the opening ceremonies in Los Angeles July 25. "Thank you to the fi- nal leg team for their com- mitment to this important event," Red Bluff Mayor Clay Parker said. "The fi- nal leg team is an inter- national team made up of law enforcement and Spe- cial Olympic athletes from throughout the world carry- ing the torch to raise aware- ness and funds for the Spe- cial Olympics." First of the athletes to speak was Jazmine Slama from Utah. Her father has been her coach throughout her Special Olympics ca- reer, something she men- tioned in her speech. "My dad has always said 'do not be afraid about go- ing (to the Special Olym- pics),'" Slama said. "It has been a great honor for me. Thank you all for coming and cheering us on. The Special Olympics has re- ally helped me to build my self esteem." Red Bluff Police Chief Kyle Sanders was among those who spoke at the event. After Slama's spoke he presented her with a Red Bluff Police Depart- ment training shirt and a special patch. Sanders mentioned the history of the Law Enforce- ment Run and its accom- plishments since its incep- tion in 1981. "In the first leg race, they raised just a few hun- dred dollars," Sanders said. "Thirty-four years later, here we are, the Law Enforce- ment Torch Run has raised over 500 million dollars." Jeannie Smith, a law en- forcement representative from Queensland, Austra- lia, has been involved for 9 years. "Their work is inspiring," Smith said. "I feel honored to be a part of this celebra- tion of love." Throughout the final leg this season, the teams have traveled more than 4,000 miles to spread the word about their cause. "They have great com- mitment and courage," said fellow final leg runner and law enforcement officer Mick Klose, from Adelaide, South Australia. "It's some- thing we should all live by, that is, 'let me win but if we can not win let me be brave in the attempt.' In other words, 'let me do my best.'" Torch FROM PAGE 1 "As a musician, you have to take every opportunity you get if you want to make it. On top of that, I've been watching since season one so it was my dream to be on the show." It was a great learning experience. "It was amazing," Schoelen said. "At every round, I felt so blessed and thankful to be a part of the show, regardless of how far I got. It's all a chance. The amount of love and support I got was incredible. I'm so thankful for this town's support." One of the many out- pourings of support that stand out to her was a call she got from her former choir teacher, Diane Has- say, and a whole group of well-wishers. A friend taped the event and Schoelen got to see it later. Schoelen's favorite Idol moment was Hollywood Week when she finished to hear Keith Urban say that she did an amazing job and that he loved her in- teraction. Afterward, she ran down the stairs to one of the cameras, which were "around every corner" dur- ing the show, and found herself crying. "I was so thankful to be where I was," Schoelen said. "To know I did a good job and I was comfortable with the way things were even if I didn't make it to the next round." Hollywood Week, espe- cially the solo day, was the most intense part of the entire journey, thanks in part to sleep deprivation, Schoelen said. "The people I got to meet on 'American Idol,' the friends I have all over the states and the biggest thing I got was to perform in front of that caliber of people," Schoelen said when asked her favorite part of the experience. "Harry was so spot on in music and in tone. His (music) theory was perfect. Jen was so sweet and always gave good feed- back. Keith Urban is so well versed in everything, espe- cially the stage and how to be a performer." Saturday's experience was the culmination of years of performing on a smaller scale and dream- ing of greater things. "I've grown up in Red Bluff my whole life and it's always been my dream to perform here," Schoelen said. "Since I was eight, I've always hoped to make it big and sing to crowds of hundreds and thou- sands of people. Making it in the Top 48 of 'American Idol' was taking it one step closer. Today I released my first single." Schoelen performed that single, "Dear Mr. Heart Breaker," an original song, at Saturday's concert. It also debuted Saturday on iTunes and has an accom- panying video on her You Tube at www.youtube.com/ user/7kay17, which fea- tures fellow Red Bluff High School grad Jonah McInnis. A few weeks back, Schoelen received her sec- ond degree, Vocal Perfor- mance, from Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, where she moved in Spring 2013 and met her band mates. Her first degree was in Contemporary Music. "I'm very thankful to have attended the college I did, had the auditions that made me step up my game and to have our town excited to support me," Schoelen said. "For now, I'm going to be a full-time musician." Schoelen is working to- ward the release of her first EP, which will have six original songs on it, some of which she debuted in a acoustic duet with band mate Lucas Toffa at Satur- day's concert. A tentative release date has been set for early fall.

ANTELOPE BOULEVARD ROLLOVER The Associated Press SACRAMENTO California legislators are considering a measure to allow farm- workers living in the coun- try illegally to get work per- mits. The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that a similar measure died in the statehouse three years ago, opposed by labor unions and immigrants' rights groups who wanted a nationwide immigration overhaul. But with Congress fail- ing to pass immigration re- form, California lawmakers took it up again. The mea- sure, AB20, moved quickly through the Assembly last month but faces uncertain prospects in the Senate. "Here we are three years later, and we can't wait any longer," Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, the bill's author, told the Times. "Different organizations continue to look to Wash- ington. Meanwhile, it's our families back home, espe- cially those working in ag- riculture, who are suffering the most, with no solution in sight." Instead of granting a temporary work visa to foreign laborers as existing programs do, it would give permits to people already residing in California with- out authorization and work- ing in agriculture. The workers, their spouses and children who are in school could remain in the state without threat of deportation. The workers would need to be 18 years old and have performed a minimum amount of farm labor in the state. Felons or those with at least three misdemeanor convictions would not be eligible. Alejo said the bill would create a group to seek au- thority from the U.S. De- partment of Justice and the U.S. Department of Home- land Security for the pro- gram. LEGISLATURE State bill would allow immigration permits for illegal farmworkers By Judy Lin The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Califor- nia can proceed with set- ting up a state-run sav- ings program for private- sector workers who don't have access to retirement plans at work, under a rule change ordered by Pres- ident Barack Obama on Monday. The president directed the U.S. Labor Department to make administrative changes by the end of the year that will allow states like California to imple- ment their own retirement programs. The agency will have to craft an exemption enabling states to bypass the federal pension law, called the Employee Re- tirement Income Security Act. Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon hailed the decision to help low-wage workers facing financial hardship as they age. "Recognizing that states are leading the way on re- tirement security, President Obama's action removes the most signification barrier to state action across the country," de Leon said in a statement.
