TEHAMA DISTRICT Fairattendance and revenue increase By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF After pleading guilty in September, Travis Kilburger, who is charged with inflict- ing corporal injury to a spouse and false impris- onment with violence, was due to be sentenced Thursday, but his defense attorney brought new discovery to the table. Judge Robert McElhamy changed the date of sentencing to allow sufficient time for the proba- tion department to gather information regarding Kilburger's possible post traumatic stress disor- der he may have suffered while serving in the Navy. Kilburger was facing a sentence of up to 15 years and four months in state prison. McElhamy said the possible PTSD was impor- tant enough to look into and chose to move the sentencing to Feb. 12, 2016 in department two of the Tehama County Superior Court. While the is- sue should have been brought up prior to the sen- tencing date, he said he would have the probation department investigate the matter and move for- ward when all information has been presented to the court. In May of 2014 Kilburger was arrested on charges of corporal injury against his estranged spouse. While incarcerated he reportedly came COURT Man blames murders onPTSD By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter CORNING Hundreds gath- ered Thursday at Roll- ing Hills Casino where the sixth annual Expect More Tehama Educational Sum- mit took place with nearly half attending from out of county, according to a poll asking out-of-county rep- resentatives to raise their hands. "As we share in the an- nual report, the spirit of Ex- pect More Tehama lies in the relationships and trust developed in a community and region that wanted to create meaningful, positive change," said Kathy Gar- cia, a member of the Expect More leadership team. "It is optimistic, but not unre- alistic. It is fueled by small victories, partnerships, real data and stories, one kid, one project, one difference at a time."

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF California Con- servation Corps Director Bruce Saito came to Red Bluff Thursday to observe crew members from all over who gathered in the area near the Red Bluff Rec- reation Area of the Men- docino National Forest to train in readiness for flood emergencies. The two-day training in- cluded a day of learning in the classroom before head- ing outdoors to learn things hands-on at seven different 20-minute stations includ- ing Wave Wash I and II, which were about protect- ing the side of a levee us- ing a thick plastic material, sack topping for filling the sacks and building sandbag sack rings, said Conserva- tionist II Linda Burkhalter. The other stations included horseshoes, structure pro- tection and panels. "We teach them the dif- ferent flood fighting tech- niques and it's required that they train once a year," Bur- khalter said. "We hope for rain because of the drought. We don't want it to flood, but it's nice to be prepared." At each station, there's a safety measure highlighted as well, Burkhalter said. For example, in lifting and how much to fill sandbags. A uniform amount of about three scoops means the bag is big enough to stay in place, but not too heavy to move if needed in another area. At 10-15 pounds, the bags aren't heavy, but thou- sands of bags moved in a two- to ten-week window adds up. This is the first year there is a California Conserva- tion Corps training and a camp, which has been set up in addition to the train- ing, in Northern California TRAINING CORPS PREPARES FOR FLOODING Members of the California Conservation Corps practice filling and passing sand bags down the line.
