DEATHNOTICES The victim, identified as Keo Oudone Vannarath, 37, of Redding had been trans- ported to the location in a private vehicle. Vannarath was then transported to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital via ambulance, but was pronounced dead shortly afterwards, accord- ing to the article. The men pleaded not guilty on Jan. 28, 2014. A previous confirmation hear- ing was scheduled for June 19, according to a Daily News article from May 12. A motion to reset the jury trial, held Monday, has pushed the hearing to Jan- uary. Doulphus FROM PAGE 1 the county had on hand rolled into program income funds, according to the staff report. This meant that the money had to be spent prior to the county drawing upon any new funds and therefore the county can- not start the $1.5 million Los Molinos Storm Drain- age and Improvement Proj- ect until the other funds had been spent, Planning Director Sean Moore said. The Los Molinos grant must be spent by September 2016 and due to the time con- straint Moore's department decided the sidewalk proj- ect would be the "best and meritorious project." The sidewalk will be in- stalled in the area of State Route 99E where the storm drainage project is to take place and put five feet wide sections of sidewalk all the way down to Grant Street. The storm drains, which will see about 1,400 feet of piping put in, will connect a four-block area of Los Molinos to the storm drain that will run along 99E to a slough, benefiting about 1,465 people. Supervisor Candy Carl- son asked whether this is near the high school and would address some of the concerns at an October town hall meeting in Los Molinos about children walking to school in knee- high water. Public Works Director Gary Antone said it will address that area and help keep pedestrians on a dry path. The project will be fol- lowed up by construction work as part an upcoming saferoutestoschoolsproject. Sidewalk FROM PAGE 1 business with the explosion captured on the store's sur- veillance camera. In another case, an e-cig- arette exploded and a car seat with a three-year-old in it caught fire. With a lack of regula- tion, the industry is target- ing children with the va- riety of flavors that smell like things they enjoy such as sodas, fruits, and things like baconor pickles, Con- treras said. "They're targeting you guys," Akers said. "I see the list of flavors and that you are excited about it. They are targeting the youth." Part of that is using char- acters in advertisements and making smoking look cool, Somavia said. He asked students if they knew why companies target chil- dren and one girl replied "Because we're still choos- ing what we like." If a person gets started early in the habit of smok- ing it means more money for the companies' pockets, Somavia said. Parents do not always realize their children are smoking e-cigarrettes be- cause the more modern ones do not look like ciga- rettes, Contreras said. "Cigarettes are danger- ous and will kill people over time," Somavia said. "They know you are impression- able at this age. That's why there are rules as to when they can show certain ad- vertisements only during certain hours." Somavia's mother died from cancer caused by smoking and his brother formed a lengthy addic- tion from the age of 12 or 13 until his late 30s, Soma- via said. Asked why he didn't be- come addicted while his brother did, Somavia said it was in part because his brother's bedroom was next to his mother's while his was on a different floor, his brother had a natural curi- osity while he was involved in sports and knew that cig- arettes were bad for lung capacity needed for sports. Several students asked which was worse, tradi- tional cigarettes or elec- tronic cigarettes, but both are bad because they are chemicals being put into their bodies, Akers said. E-cig FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press RIVERSIDE Southern Cal- ifornia authorities have apologized to a South Car- olina nurse who was incor- rectly charged with prosti- tution and had to fly across the country to clear up the paperwork mix-up. Kendra Dawn Speed, 37, was told by her employer October 27 that a back- ground check revealed she was wanted on a warrant out of Riverside County, California, the Desert Sun newspaper reported Mon- day. Even though she'd briefly lived in Los Angeles, Speed had never set foot in Riv- erside County — and had never been a prostitute. After being told the is- sue couldn't be resolved over the phone, the Rock Hill resident hopped on a flight to California the next morning. She appeared in River- side County court, where a judge issued a new warrant for Kendra Michelle Speed, born in 1981, not Kendra Dawn Speed, born in 1978. "At that point, I didn't know whether to be relieved or more angry," Speed told the newspaper. "I went in thinking this was identity theft, and that my life had been stolen. Then I found it was stolen by a clerical er- ror, which could have been fixed on the phone." When reached for com- ment this week, both the Riverside Police Depart- ment and the Riverside County District Attor- ney's Office offered apolo- gies for their parts in the error dating back to 2012. They said law enforcement had confused Speed's old driver license with that of the other woman, inadver- tently snaring her in a na- tionwide network of police, courts, warrants and law- yers. "Our office files more than 60,000 cases involving adult defendants each year and, unfortunately, cleri- cal errors like this can hap- pen," said John Hall, said DA's spokesman John Hall. Speed has been able to return to her job with Fa- vorite Healthcare Staffing. She said she considered filing a lawsuit, but lawyers advised her that prosecuto- rial immunity would make her suit a lost cause. PAPERWORK MIX-UP Woman erroneously charged wi th p ro st it ut io n ge ts a po lo gy The Associated Press SANFRANCISCO San Fran- cisco is considering rais- ing the minimum age to purchase tobacco prod- ucts from 18 to 21. The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http:// sfg.ly/1Yf5eVH ) Tues- day that the legislation to be introduced Super- visor Scott Wiener will be considered Tuesday. If ap- proved, would make San Francisco the second ma- jor city in the country, be- hind New York City, to make the move. Santa Clara County is also one of about 80 gov- ernments around the country that have raised the cigarette buying age to 21. An attempt to pass the same law in the Califor- nia Legislature stalled this year. San Francisco has long been at the forefront of leg- islation aimed at curbing smoking and has banned smoking in restaurants, bars, playgrounds, parks and taxis among other places. The National Associa- tion of Tobacco Outlets claims cities can't over- ride California's age 18 for purchasing cigarettes and other tobacco prod- ucts. LEGISLATION SF looks at raising age for buying tobacco to 21 "At that point, I didn't know whether to be relieved or more angry." — Kendra Dawn Speed NANCYOTTEBONDY August 6, 1922 ~ November 8, 2015 Nancy Otte Bondy, died Sunday, November 8th at her Red Bluff home with her family by her side.

KENTON WADE WILLS May 25, 1952 ~ November 12, 2015 Kenton Wade Wills age 63 passed away at 3 a.m. on Thursday Nov. 12th, 2015 at his home in Lakeview, Ore- gon, with his loving wife Heidi of 24 years by his side. Kenton had fought a very hard 3 year long battle with Re- nal Cell Carcinoma and Pancreatic Cancer. Kenton and his identical twin Brother Kevin Wayne were born on May 25th 1952 in Scotia, CA to Robert Wayne and Wanda Virgie (Wade) Wills. Kenton and Ke- vin were the very best of friends from that day forward. At the age of 8, Kenton and his family packed up their belongings and moved to Red Bluff, CA for their Father's career as a CHP Officer. During the summer months to escape Red Bluff's hot summer days, their Mother would pack up her 4 childrens camping gear and head for the cool mountain air at Lassen National Park. There Kenton and Kevin would spend the entire summer exploring the park and fishing. It was his love of the great outdoors and spending so many summers camping at the park and oth- er campgrounds in the area that is when Kenton decided he wanted to be a Wildland Firefighter. At the age of 17 Kenton was offered a job at Red Bluff's CDF Station (CALFIRE) as a Wildland Firefighter. In 1970 Kenton grad- uated from Red Bluff Union High School. He also attend- ed Shasta Community College where his studies revolved around fire science. On June 21, 1972 he was drafted into the US Army and stationed at Schofield Army Base in Ha- waii as Specialist 4 firefighter. He was honorably dis- charged from the U.S. Army on June 18th 1974. He re- ceived the National Defense Medal for Expert Rifleman. In 1978 Kenton married Constance Wallene McCall and they had two children Kristy Lynn and Pennie Wade Wills whom he loved dearly. Their marriage ended in Divorce. Kenton quit fighting fire to be closer to his family, he worked for a few different logging companies around the Red Bluff area, he also worked at Wetter Juvenile Hall as a Counselor and at Diamond International. In May of 1990 Kenton decided to get back into fighting wildland fire. He accepted a job on the Mendocino National Forest stationed out of Paskenta, CA and that is where he met the love of his life, Heidi Joy (Little) Kuxhausen. They were married April 24th 1992 in Reno, NV. Kenton and Heidi left Red Bluff in 1997 to pursue Kenton's career in Fire. They moved to Mesa Verde National Park after 2 months at the park he was offered a job at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho as a dispatcher. From there Kenton accepted a job with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Yuma, AZ as a dispatcher to get his permanent status. Then on to Winnemucca, NV where he accepted the job as lead dispatcher for the BLM. To further his career he applied for a job in Lake- view, OR as the Lakeview Interagency Fire Center's (LIFC) U.S. Forest Service Dispatch Assistant Center Manager which he began in Nov 2002 and finally he became the Bureau of Land Management's Center Manager at LIFC in June of 2005 until he was forced to retire in Feb. 2014 due to illness. Kenton enjoyed life to the fullest, never a dull moment around this incredible man. He enjoyed fighting wildland fires, hunting, fishing, camping, rock hounding and of course his family. He was preceded in death by his Mother Wanda Virgie (Wade) Wills, Father Robert Wayne Wills and Sister Teri Bonene (Wills) Cowan.

One page showed a typical small town cluttered with utility poles and neon signs. The other page showed an artist's concept of how a small town might emphasize its charm without benefit of said clutter. The latter looked great…and it would work in Red Bluff. In fact, it should be done to save the downtown heart of the city. My regrets to those who hold stock in neon sign companies, but the blinking outrageous, ornate signs stick out like sharks teeth from our old fashion facades and must go. Only flat, up against the building, signs should remain as location identity is crucial to the success of a business. Even the big modern street lights should give way to the more intimate old fashion lamppost of yore. The buildings themselves should be painted in more subdued colors to emphasize the quality of their lasting construction. Power and phone lines should go underground and County and City seats of government must remain downtown. What a lovely thing our city could be! Imagine it! Imagine publisher Caffoe in a black visor and armlets in his turn of the century Daily News building. Imagine getting the whole town to renovate in reverse! Imagine finding the money to do so. What a flight of fantasy… … I asked our daughters "What is necessary for complete happiness", and Madalyn, quick as a flash, replied, "Afull head of hair!" She is a very clever child, and even though she was putting me on with a standing family joke, her remark deserves a moment's thought. We are certainly a hair-oriented society. The youth first adopted long hair as a counter culture statement and now everybody is getting into the act. We are quickly becoming a nation of peacocks with daring variations of the basic sheepdog trim. Does Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz wear his hair long to swim faster? I think not.Archie Bunker may be a balding hero of sorts on TV…but is not exactly a leading man type. Yul Bryner only makes the grade as King of Siam where a skin head can be deemed fashionable.All rock stars must have hair in reverse quantity to their musical talent. Mothers (mine) have been known to urge their sons to get a hair transplant "like Hugh Down's on TV". Even my late father briefly wore an expensive hair piece until people started confusing him with my Uncle Stanly and he discarded it. Maybe men can succeed today with an abundance of hair somewhere. Jim Hoffman made Mayor of Red Bluff with precious little hair on his head. However, when he shaves, he has such heavy beard and chest hair that he arbitrarily stops shaving down his neck at the collar bone area. With a lapse of memory he might shave for days.
