ByHeatherHoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF An improvement project for a former burn dump, near the intersection of Baker and Walbridge roads, was ap- proved by the City Council at its Tuesday meeting. The project is projected to be- gin before the end of the year, Public Works Director Bruce Henz said. "The principal objective of the project is to reduce the poten- tial for environmental and pub- lic health and safety risks asso- ciated with unstable slopes and exposure to waste, and to reduce the potential for groundwater and surface water contamina- tion," Henz said. The risk will be reduced by re-grading the capping of the dump area, which includes about 17,800 cubic yards of burn ash, unburned solid waste and metal- lic debris. The council is working with engineering and environmental consulting firm NCE to preform California Environmental Qual- ity Act compliance procedures, according to Henz in the agenda report. The firm was brought to the project to determine what the city will be required to do to comply with the state's regu- lations. Gregory Fasiano, a consultant from NCE, said the city will pay less than 10 percent of the total cost. Funding for this project is provided from within a supple- mental appropriation of $60,000 from the Transportation-City De- sign fund and was approved on Aug. 19, 2014, according to the staff report. The burn dump has already been designed, Fasiano said. "Right now it's looking very pos- itive." RED BLUFF Cityapproves former burn dump project Changesprojectedto begin by the end of year By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter COTTONWOOD The Tehama County Sheriff's Department was seeking victims and suspects around Luce Griswold Road, where a shooting took place about 4 p.m. Friday in the west Bowman Road area. At least one person was in- jured, but the department had received reports that there were other victims based on informa- tion it received from a person contacted, Sheriff Dave Hencratt said. He declined to call the per- son a suspect, person of interest or witness, saying only that the department was acting upon in- formation from the man. A press release was expected to be issued Saturday morning. Scanner traffic indicated there were possibly two other victims in addition to the unidentified vic- tim, whom Hencratt said was a young man who had been located and was treated at the Bowman Fire Station. He had a gunshot wound on his leg. Traffic was blocked off with law enforcement officials looking for evidence at Luce Griswold Road at least half a mile to a mile from where it meets Bowman Road. Scanner traffic indicated an of- ficer had set up at Bowman and Hooker Creek roads to keep an eye out for the suspect vehicle. The vehicle was described as a white Ford Explorer, Hencratt said.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter LOS MOLINOS The Tehama County Community Action Agency was able to serve both the two- and four-legged members of the county's fam- ilies through a partnership with PETS at a Tailgate Food Giveaway held Friday at the Veterans Memorial Hall in Los Molinos. While the two groups have worked together at events like Lift Tehama, a Novem- ber event that aims to serve the low-income and homeless population by offering sev- eral services in one location, this was the first time part- nering at a food giveaway, Providing Essentials for the Tehama Shelter — PETS — Vice President Ronnie Casey said. "It's very exciting," Casey said. "We were delighted to join the giveaway. It was very successful and the peo- ple were amazing. We had roughly 150 to 200 people that we served. We didn't ex- pect to have as many show up for the pets portion of the giveaway." The food was provided by PETS through a donation from the Walmart Distribu- tion Center, which occasion- ally takes bags it cannot sell and gives them to the orga- nization. "The Walmart DC has been exceedingly generous," Casey said. "When they have a prod- uct they cannot sell they tape it up and set it aside. When they get enough they give us a call and we pick it up and hand it out. This is the third time they've done it." The group gave away about 1,000 pounds of food at about four pounds per per- son with a few getting a lim- ited amount of canned food available as well, Casey said. When a donation is re- ceived, PETS normally col- lects the food and gives some to the shelter, local rescue or- ganizations and directly to pet owners at events such as Lift Tehama. The hope for next year is to be at Lift Te- hama on Nov. 13, as well as Tailgate Food Giveaways in Red Bluff, Los Molinos and Corning. While PETS will not be able to join the Community Action Agency for its third giveaway scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 4 at New Life Assembly Church, 660 Solano St., in Corning. Donations to PETS of food or money to go toward med- ical expenses of shelter ani- mals are always welcome. For information call 528-8702. TEHAMA COUNTY Community Action Agency partners with PETS SHOOTING PAGE 11 PETS PAGE 11 DUMP PAGE 11 By Ryan Olson rolson@chicoer.com @NorCalJustice on Twitter PARADISE A woman who be- came stranded and gave birth in a Northern California national forest says she took methamphet- amine to get an energy boost af- ter delivering her daughter. Amber Pangborn, 35, men- tioned several possible reasons why Children's Services took custody of Marissa Leanne Wil- liams, including the fact that both mother and child report- edly tested positive for metham- phetamine following the three- day ordeal. She said she took a small amount of the drug while stranded to get the energy to seek help. Pangborn said Children's Ser- vices became involved after she and Marissa were rescued from remote area off French Creek Road about 30 miles northeast of Oroville on June 27. They were rescued after Pangborn set a fire to get the attention of firefight- ers. The wildfire was contained to a quarter-acre. After the incident, Pangborn was transported to Oroville Hos- pital while Marissa was taken to UC Davis Medical Center in Sac- ramento. "They told me the night I went into the hospital that they were going to call them (Children's Services) because of the nature of me giving birth to her in the woods," Pangborn said during a telephone interview Wednesday. She learned Children's Services was involved when her father and stepmother tried to visit Marissa at the Sacramento hospital.
