DEATHNOTICES A steady stream of vis- itors attended Saturday's event, enjoying ice cream, crafts, a tarot card reading by Georgia Scott and a look at costumes that were a part of an effort to get peo- ple to recycle and reuse cos- tumes. Residents brought in an old costume prior to the event and received a voucher that allowed them to pick out a new one Satur- day, Ainsworth said. "We received about 55 costumes that were avail- able today," Ainsworth said. "For our first one, that's good." The library staff is look- ing forward to being named grand marshals for the 2015 Red Bluff Christmas pa- rade, Ainsworth said. The next big fundraiser is the Alice in Wonderland- themed tea party, which will be held sometime in February near Valentine's Day.

This op- tion was favored by most of the City Council mem- bers because it would allow the street to remain where it is and still provide the safely of the two buildings being connected. The esti- mated cost of this option is $1,004,304. "I'm not OK and people aren't OK with closing a sec- ond (street)," said Daniele Jackson, mayor pro tem. "Just don't close our street." Councilman Gary Jones said he would be more agreeable to with building the tunnel over any other option. "Less than 2 percent dif- ference between moving the street or not," Jones said. "I think that is an easy option, an easy answer." Garton expressed con- cerns over safety. "My concerns are if we can't tie the two buildings together the number of trips per day across an open space will be too much and very unsafe; I have a per- sonal problem with that," Garton said. "It needs to be tied in some way, whether it's with a tunnel or what- ever in order to facilitate movement by people, in- mates, medical staff and so forth. Otherwise it will be cost prohibitive and the sheriff will be back here asking for more man power because he doesn't have enough men to run the fa- cility." Another option is to build a bridge that would go across the street to the new location, which would include elevators. This op- tion was the most expen- sive, coming in at an es- timated $2,527,965. The hefty price deterred both the council and the board from this option, but it re- mains on the table. Jail FROM PAGE 1 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Thankyou! The CART is deployed at the request of an agency and assists in looking for witnesses and knocking on doors, said California High- way Patrol Northern Divi- sion Public Information Of- ficer Lacey Heitman. The team brings resources in at the local, state and fed- eral levels. Once a call is re- ceived, the members are di- rected to a specific location where they are briefed and given further details about the abduction. The team has been de- ployed twice in 2015 for real incidents in Shasta County that took place in July, in- cluding the disappearance of baby Ember Skye Gra- ham and a 17-year-old girl who was believed to have gone missing from a hotel on Cypress Avenue in Red- ding, Heitman said. Most agencies in a CART don't do a joint exercise, but all do at least one exercise a year, Heitman said. Red Bluff Police Sgt. Scott Curtis gave teams a briefing while Tehama County Dis- trict Attorney Chief Inves- tigator Eric Clay assisted in making sure non-local law enforcement teams who might not be familiar with the area were paired with local law enforcement. The scenario Curtis gave was that the victim's sis- ter and the 13-year-old girl named Sarah had a rou- tine of walking to school together and the two girls parted ways at Salisbury High School where the sis- ter attended. The sister watched Sarah until she went around the corner at Kimball and Jackson and then Sarah would text her sister when she arrived at Vista Preparatory Academy. On Tuesday Sarah's sis- ter did not receive the text by 8:30 a.m. and called her father, who checked with the school and upon learn- ing that Sarah was not on campus contacted Red Bluff Police. Video surveillance at the school showed that Sarah had been in the area of the bus loading zone on a bench when a white van pulled up and she willingly got in. Officers were told that her turquoise back- pack was recovered with what appeared to be love letters inside. "Don't just contact the people you see and wit- nesses," Clay said. "Look around including in gar- bage cans, cars on the street which might have cloth- ing. If you find anything, including a good witness, call the command post and we'll place a call to a detec- tive. Leave the evidence in place." In a previous scenario, planted evidence was missed because no one looked in a trash can, he said. To help make the sce- nario more real and to pre- vent panic, Red Bluff Police Volunteers In Police Service and Tehama County Sher- iff's Team of Active and Re- tired Seniors assisted in holding a five-block perim- eter around the school. If the scenario were a real one, those manning the perimeter would be asking folks leaving the area to exit their vehicles, produce identification and would search the vehicle to make sure no one could leave the area with a child hidden inside, Police VIP Bev Morris said. Red Bluff Union Elemen- tary School District Super- intendent William McCoy said he was glad that law enforcement was making the scenario as real as pos- sible. The school district does have protocols in place to help keep close tabs on what is going on at the cam- puses, but it is good to prac- tice, McCoy said. "Student safety is para- mount," McCoy said. "I'd rather bugs be worked out and identified in a simula- tion rather than a real sce- nario. We're happy to be in- vited to learn from the pro- fessionals." CART FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press LOS ANGELES The union representing Los Angeles Police Department officers is joining a call to boycott filmmaker Quentin Taranti- no's movies. Craig Lally, president of the Los Angeles Police Pro- tective League, said Tuesday that the union fully supports boycotting Tarantino's mov- ies, a suggestion first made by a police union official in New York. The unions are upset about a Saturday protest of police brutality in New York. Taran- tino was among the demon- strators, saying he's "on the side of the murdered," and "if you believe there's murder go- ing on then you need to rise up and stand up against it." Lally says Tarantino's com- ments were hateful and in- flammatory rhetoric that en- courages attacks on police and threatens public safety. An attorney and an agent listed for Tarantino didn't immediately respond to mes- sages for comment Tuesday.

By Michael Liedtke The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Oracle founder Larry Ellison al- ready owns an island in Hawaii. Now, his company is building a high school next to its Silicon Val- ley headquarters to help fulfill Ellison's desire to teach students more about technology and problem- solving. The plan unveiled Tues- day at an Oracle cus- tomer conference calls for the business software maker to complete the 64,000-square-foot school by August 2017. Although it will be owned by one of the world's biggest tech- nology companies, the school isn't going to be called "Oracle High." In- stead, it will be known as Design Tech, or "d.tech," a public school approved last year. The campus being built by Oracle will accommo- date up to 550 students and 30 teachers in the shadow of Oracle's tow- ering office in Redwood Shores, California, about 25 miles south of San Fran- cisco. The school will be free and open to any stu- dent living in California. Since starting Oracle Corp. 38 years ago, Elli- son has amassed an esti- mated fortune of $54 bil- lion that has enabled him to buy most of the Hawai- ian island of Lanai, own elaborate homes around the world and bankroll two victories in sailing's premier race, the Ameri- ca's Cup. But Ellison isn't financ- ing Design Tech. Oracle is footing the entire bill, though the company isn't disclosing how much it ex- pects to spend. Oracle co-CEO Safra Catz stressed the com- pany wouldn't be getting involved if Ellison hadn't sketched out a vision to create a school where "stu- dents learn to think." Although Oracle will own the high school, the company won't be in- volved in the curriculum. Design Tech gained Or- acle's financial support because it "reflects Lar- ry's vision for a unique high school founded on principles we believe in: innovation, creativity, problem-solving and de- sign-thinking," Catz said. Oracle's commitment to Design Tech comes less than a week after Face- book's billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, an- nounced plans to finance a school for pre-school through eighth-grade stu- dents in one of Silicon Valley's few least affluent communities, East Palo Alto. The Primary School will provide health care services in addition to ed- ucational instruction for up to 700 students. Zuckerberg and Chan also have given $100 mil- lion to schools in New Jer- sey and pledged to donate another $120 million to other schools located in low-income communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. TECHNOLOGY COMPANY Oracle to build high school on its Silicon Valley campus ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THE PASSING PARADE (FrommyISaycolumnofOctober1965) If all the farmers in the United States were Orthodox Jews, I think the farm surplus problem would be solved. It seems that this fascinating religious group has an ancient custom called Shemittah, which means a sabbatical "year of release". According to their custom, they must let their land lay fallow for one whole year. This custom employed over here would probably empty government warehouses and get everything back in shape in a hurry. But over in Israel, it could bankrupt the country. So, as is human nature, a way has been devised to circumvent the religious law without breaking it.AJew signs his land over to a non-Jew (sometimes even anArab!)and then, with a clear conscience, works his land again as he did previously.At the end of year, the two resort to some further complicated trading and the Jew gets his land back.Another, even more bizarre, dodge is for the Jew to drive around his land on a tractor covered with a canvas because one interpretation of this old custom says everything is Kosher if planting is done inside an "enclosure"! Or so says TIME magazine. Thus, does man shape his myths and moralities to suit his own needs. … (From May 1969) That fine TV special regarding Charlie Brown and his creator Charles Shultz last Saturday night discussed the dog as a person. Shultz said that Snoopy was funny as long as he was a dog- person…and he momentarily lost that identity when a cat was introduced into the story. Long before the missus and I had ever read "Peanuts" we accepted our first boxer, Max, as a real person. Each evening, when I came home from work, JoAnn would relate to me all the things Max had said during the day while I was away. This happened so often that it was taken for granted that Max could not only talk but was quite adept at lying as well. The funny thing about all this business was that, as she related one of Max's wild stories, I would look him in the eye…and he would be quite embarrassed by the whole thing. Since that time, over 15 years ago, we have carried over the same habit with our horses and cats…even our ducks! But we are not the only peculiar people in this world. I suspect all pet lovers attach human attributes to their animal companions. Notice what a cowboy says to the horse that tries to buck him off. The next time your bow-wow walks up with wagging tail to a stranger, I think the latter will immediately strike up a conversation with your pet. The first words are usually, "Nice doggy" or some such opening gambit designed as much for you as your companion. Dr. Doolittle said, "What a fine world this would be if we all could talk to the animals." Well, we can! Right Max? Right Snoopy?
