The Tehama County Planning Commission voted 4-0, with Chairman Lynn DeFreece ab- sent, to recommend to the supervisors that the proposed ordinance be adopted as is. The ordinance was driven in part by large poultry operations moving into Tehama County, Planning Director Sean Moore said. "Last year we had a large poultry operation of atleast20,000chickens,maybe more,"Mooresaid. "Proposition 2 is driving it all to California. That's what's driving these guys from the Midwest." Proposition 2 was on the ballot in 2008 and went into effect Jan. 1, 2015. It deals with setting rules for raising farm animals such as chickens in an area that will confine them, but allow them to have adequate room to stand and turn around. The ordinance is one that has been in the works for about a year, said Tehama County Farm Bu- reau Manager Kari Dodd, who also sits on the Te- hama County Farm Bureau Poultry Commission. The number of chickens allowed was not cho- sen at random, but after looking at what stan- dards were set in other places that dealt with the industry, such as the USDA, with input from the farm bureau, which initially had concerns over numbers in general, Moore said. "Whether you have 250 or 20,000 birds there will always be people who have a different opin- ion on the number that is right, whether to iden- tify if rooster or hen and other things for the or- dinance," Dodd said. "Overall, I feel it is a good working ordinance." TEHAMA COUNTY Chicken ordinance approved tosend By Brian Skoloff and Kristin J. Bender The Associated Press MIDDLETOWN Two more bodies were found in the burned ruins of homes in California, bring- ing the death toll to five from two of the most de- structive wildfires in the state in recent memory. Both fires continued burning Thursday, but cooler weather and rain helped firefighters gain ground on the blazes that have destroyed more than 800 homes. Official identifications have not yet been made, but the sheriff's office said the two bodies found in Lake County were presumed to be those of Bruce Beven Burns and former San Jose Mercury News police reporter Leonard Neft. A woman was found dead Sunday in the blaze burning about 100 miles north of San Francisco.

Leslie Freeland, a mem- ber of the council's board, was the mastermind be- hind the job fair. About three months ago she brought it up to her board and started to move for- ward, contacting the em- ployers and organizing the whole event. "This is the first job fair in quite awhile," Freeland said. We wanted to get a job fair started up. "It's been several years since I could remember a job fair being in town," said Sue Ampi, chairwoman of the council. "That is why we decided to do this now. We just said 'we need to do a job fair.'" Freeland said she was hoping for at least a hun- dred people to attend the job fair. "There was a pretty good push in the beginning and as the fair continued, there was a steady flow of peo- ple," Freeland said. "I think we far exceeded that num- ber by now." The fair included many employers searching for candidates to fill positions mainly in Tehama County. There were a few employ- ers from Shasta County and Glenn County. One company that came out to the fair was R & R Auto sales. The company was looking for an ener- getic, outgoing a sales rep- resentative in both Orland and Chico and a customer care employee, said Tammy Madison, a sales manager. The company is looking for an employee that is goal oriented and able to work with a team. Victor Treatment Cen- ter is out of Redding and is looking for counselors it can train to be apart of its team, said Kami Duntsch, Human Resources man- ager. Cal Fire and other em- ployers were passing out informational pamphlets and informing the public of their services and possi- ble opportunities. In all the job fair went well, Freeland said. She ex- pects to start planning an- other job fair in the near fu- ture.
