TEHAMA COUNTY Jobless rates increase in October By Baba Ahmed The Associated Press BAMAKO, MALI Heavily armed Islamic extremists seized dozens of hostages Friday at a Radisson hotel, but Malian troops, backed by U.S. and French special forces, swarmed in to retake the build- ing and free many of the terri- fied captives. At least 20 peo- ple were killed along with two gunmen during the more than seven-hour siege, a Malian mil- itary commander said. An extremist group led by former al-Qaida commander Moktar Belmoktar claimed responsibility for the attack in the former French colony, and many in France saw it as a new assault on their country's interests a week after the Paris attacks. While French President Fran- cois Hollande did not link the violence at the Radisson Blu hotel with last week's blood- shed in Paris, he declared that France would stand by the West African country. "Once again, terrorists want to make their barbaric presence felt everywhere, where they can kill, where they can massacre. So we should once again show our solidarity with our ally, Mali," he said.

HAROUNA TRAORE — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A resolution by State Sen. Jim Nielsen and Assemblyman James Galla- gher was presented Thurs- day to Wayne and Senia Ow- ensby of Red Bluff, co-found- ers of Recycle The Warmth, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the event. The event was created to be a venue for giving out clothes and food to those in need, whether they were homeless or low-in- come. "Thank you for all your ser- vice to the people," said Nielsen, who presented the document. "Thank you for all the years you put in. It's such an honor to pres- ent this to you." The event, held on Nov. 13 as part of the larger LIFT Tehama event, took over an entire build- ing at the Tehama District Fair- ground as one of five buildings of services and items available to people through the LIFT Te- hama, which was created as a combination of Project Home- less Connect and Recycle the Warmth in 2011. "There were 890 plates that went out and I just grabbed a napkin and ran so it probably fed more like 1,000 people Fri- day," Wayne Owensby said. "We also fed about 300 the day be- fore during set-up. This all started as a simple idea by two 20-year-olds who wanted to do something to make a differ- ence." The couple gathers items, originally just clothes but ex- panding over the years to in- clude blankets and other items, throughout the year with an up- swing in intake about October, Senia Owensby said. In recent years, the day starts with people lining up at least an hour before. "People haven't quit getting cold and we haven't run out of energy yet," Senia Owensby said. "The big thing was we wanted to make sure the event was open to everyone and that they were able to get something warm to wear and something to eat. We always wanted to make sure they had a warm meal as well as something food-wise to take home." The event is a far cry from the first one, when about 20-30 peo- ple came to River Park in the Marina Building and the couple made the soup themselves, Se- nia Owensby said. A few years in, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital was asked and donated a large pot of soup and has been involved ever since. A few years ago, Judy Man- dolfo of Snack Box Catering stepped in and this year made three different varieties of soups and other items for people to eat throughout the day. The project was originally a Daily News project under the leadership of then Publisher Mel Wagner. "It's very fulfilling to get this kind of recognition," Wayne Owensby said. "We have many years left in us (to put toward the event)." RESOLUTION RECYCLE THE WARMTH FOUNDERS HONORED JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS California Sen.
