Deathnotices JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS Deputy City Clerk Cheryl Smith, le , swore in Red Bluff Police Department's newest member, Officer Darren Holman, at a ceremony Monday in City Hall. Holman was born and raised in Red Bluff before moving to Los Molinos. He is a 2004 graduate of Los Molinos High School and a 2009graduate of Chico State University where he obtained a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. He served his country in the US Army's Airborne Field Artillery Unit a er graduating from college. CEREMONY RED BLUFF POLICE SWEARING-IN assurancesthe$39million construction cost is fully funded before the county receives any funding. This would include assurances of a commitment of $19 mil- lion by a local agency. "I have every expectation there will be funding for the $19 million, but there is no guarantee," Antone said. The High Bridge Cost Agreement is a require- ment of all projects exceed- ing $20 million and is set so the amount of federal fund- ing tied up in a project in one year does not exceed that amount, Antone said. Since the High Bridge Cost Agreement became a reality only five agencies have chosen to move for- ward with projects, includ- ing three in a large metro- politan area that passed a local bond measure or had access to additional fund- ing reserves. The other two were a mid-size county, Tu- lare, and a mid-sized city, Tracy. The Jellys Ferry Bridge is a 1949 steel through-truss structure with wooden deck that has already been restricted to a single-lane bridge with a weight limit, Antone said. "The project has started and stalled on a number of occasions as a result of state funding shortfalls, environ- mental concerns, hydro- logic issues and resource agency coordination diffi- culties," Antone said. "To date, the department has developed a solid bridge re- placement design that grew both in physical size and cost over the many years." The additional cost of preliminary engineering and right-of-way work total- ing $6.9 million, of which $3.7 million had been spent as of September, added to the $39.7 million construc- tion cost brings the total project cost to $46.6 mil- lion. Project funding is a mix of state and federal money, including Federal Highway Administration and State Transportation Improvement Program. Supervisors Dennis Gar- ton and Bob Williams said they don't see Tehama County being able to make a $19 million commitment, but that they would like to see work on the bridge done. "Clearly with a $40 mil- lion budget it can't hap- pen," Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin said. "It's re- ally more of a regional than local significance. If some- thing happens to I-5, this is the bypass." Jellys Ferry Road serves as an alternate route to Shasta County for north- bound Interstate 5 traffic in the event of a closure, An- tone said. "As such, the route is an important, valuable con- nection, as the other op- tion for northbound traf- fic travels easterly on State Route 36E a significant dis- tance before a northbound connection can be reached," Antone said. "Locally, the road serves a number of lo- cal farm and ranch busi- nesses that use the truck- ing industry to move goods, freight and products to and from their location on the far side of the bridge."

Officers were given a description, but were unable to locate Clark at the time. A Red Bluff Police Of- ficer saw Clark later in the day and was able to detain him. The in- volved Tractor Supply employees were able to make identification and Clark, who has an exten- sive criminal history, was placed under arrest, the release said. Clark was booked into Tehama County Jail on the charge of robbery. Bail was set at $50,000.

Red Bluff Councilman Suran Patel suggested the website have links to the cities' websites and the county's website so busi- ness owners from out of the area who are thinking of moving their businesses here will have all the infor- mation they need. The council members that attended the meeting asked that a joint meeting on the topic be held quar- terly to inform all cities in Tehama County of the progress of businesses and the economic development throughout the county. Economy FROM PAGE 1 By Verena Dobnik The Associated Press NEW YORK Inside an aircraft hangar at Ken- nedy Airport, stacks of shirts sit neatly folded on a shelf, price tags still at- tached. But they are caked in dust and will never be sold. Mannequins, dressed in Victoria's Secret tops, stand as if beckoning to shoppers long gone. Nearby are mammoth hunks of rusty metal and wiring — parts of a global broadcast antenna that once crowned the World Trade Center. These are some of the last remnants of a host of artifacts recovered after the Sept. 11 attacks that have been held in storage at the airport for 14 years by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the 16-acre trade center site. The agency is now giving away about 200 items still stored in the 80,000-square-foot han- gar. It once held more than 2,000 artifacts from the ru- ins, which have been dis- tributed over the years to organizations in the United States and abroad. On Tuesday, the dam- aged carriage of a PATH train that once carried commuters from New Jer- sey to the trade center site was lifted onto a flatbed truck by two big cranes. It was headed to the Trol- ley Museum of New York in Kingston, about 90 miles up the Hudson from New York City, where it will be the centerpiece of a future Sept. 11 wing. "When I first saw it in the hangar behind us, it felt like I was opening a tomb; it was very emotional for me, I got goose bumps and I had to hold back the tears," mu- seum director Erik Garces said. He spent a week after 9/11 as a city transit em- ployee digging for human remains in the smoking, fi- ery debris left by the two terrorist-piloted jets. With planes roaring overhead, he stood watch- ing PATH Train Car No. 143 rolling away — only slightly damaged by the debris of the collapsing towers that penetrated the PATH sta- tion tunnel. Of the seven cars on the train, four were crushed. The other surviv- ing car went to the Con- necticut Trolley Museum. The one leaving the han- gar, bearing the marks of 3 feet of Hudson River wa- ter that flooded the tunnel, "was preserved as it was that morning," Garces said. Complete with the origi- nal 2001 ads, he said, "it's a touchstone to the past, it's more than just a relic: When something is really tactile, it brings back emo- tions and memories that aren't necessarily stirred by just a video or reading a passage in a magazine." About 200 haunting re- minders of the world's worst terrorist attack remain in Hangar 17, in a remote, cargo section of the airport. The hangar was dubbed "The Tomb of the Un- knowns," since none of the initial thousands of items were victims' personal be- longings, which were re- turned to families if pos- sible. Those never claimed are being held by the New York Police Department. Hangar 17 holds what was left from the heaps of rubble where more than 2,700 people took their last breaths: mangled po- lice cars, a piece of con- crete from a World Trade Center garage, an elevator motor and part of a steel beam from which workers cut out crosses and Stars of David. But perhaps the ee- riest items are those from ordinary, daily life, frozen forever on 9/11: goods ex- cavated from shops in the underground World Trade Center concourse, includ- ing clothing, costume jew- elry, a cigarette display case and a sweater sale sign. ARTIFACTS Government agency's last remnants of 9/11 being given away The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Comcast agreed to pay more than $25 million to settle alle- gations it improperly dis- posed of remote controls, modems and other hazard- ous waste and records con- taining customer informa- tion, prosecutors said. The settlement filed Tuesday in Alameda County by the California attorney general and Al- ameda County district at- torney followed an inves- tigation that found since 2005, Comcast warehouse, dispatch and customer ser- vice centers throughout the state routinely sent hazard- ous waste to local landfills not permitted to receive it, the attorney general's of- fice said. The investigation also found Comcast threw documents with custom- ers' names, addresses and phone numbers in the trash without shredding or redacting them to pre- vent identity theft, accord- ing to the attorney gener- al's office. "Comcast's careless and unlawful hazardous waste disposal practices jeopar- dized the health and en- vironmental well-being of California communities and exposed their custom- ers to the threat of iden- tity theft," Attorney Gen- eral Kamala Harris said in a statement. The attorney general and the Alameda County district attorney reached a settlement with AT&T last yearoversimilarhazardous waste disposal allegations.

Obituaries ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THEPASSINGPARADE (FrommyISaycolumnofDecember1971) Al Leddy has many things going for him. He's prominent in the sheep industry as a producer and trader, he has a great sense of humor ... and he's related to the Carl Coleman family by marriage. He is not tall of stature but tends to dominate any conversation in which he is involved. Al drops by the plant from time to time for a free look at our teletype, and in return I get free advice on a variety of subjects.However, his sermon is generally in the form of an anecdote with a message concerning "How to succeed in business". Recently Al stopped by to show me a clipping from a 1927 article in the Daily News which read, "Butch Vestal is president of the local Curbstone Brokers Association in which Al Leddy and Hank Kerber are secretary and treasurer." It was a tongue in cheek article of course, but it served to indicate the three were up and coming cattle and sheep buyers. Butch Vestal was the brother of Rollo Vestal who was "the" meat packer in this area before Dave Minch took the title in the late 1930's and Hank Kerber was his fat cattle buyer. His son Oakley eventually succeeded his father and was our main buyer until his untimely demise this year. One of Al Leddy's anecdotes involved Senator D. Jack Metzger. Al was working for Jack in the 1920's buying sheep all over the country ... and as the Senator was a shrewd businessman, Al was expected to be one also. Anyway, an old boy up in Burney had 900 lambs to sell and wasplanning to drive them 90 miles to the Ander- son stockyards and would weigh them the next morning with an overnight stand in the pens. This was designed so the buyer would get a good yield ... or to put it another way, the buyer would not be buying a belly full of grass and water. Mr. Leddy made an offer which was accepted by the owner and the drive commenced the following day. The animals and herders arrived at dusk and promptly put the animals in the pens for the night for weighing the next morning. Hank was traveling with Al at the time, and the two decided to bed down in a Redding hotel for the night. When the two arrived at the stockyard the next morning, the lambs were indeed still penned up but looking uncommonly well rested and contented despite their long trip. They were duly weighed and shipped to the bay area for slaughter ... and it was then that the fleece hit the fan. The animals had a poor yield and it became obvious to Al and Hank that they had been weighed with a bell y full of grass. There must have been some hanky-panky ... but how could that be? It was several months before they learned the full story. (To be continued) Robert Minch 1929- WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2015 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 7 A
