"Eisenhower did a won- derful job on that inva- sion," Shepherd said. "He let word get to the German intelligence that we were going to invade Norway instead of Normandy. He sent thousands of mechan- ical paratroopers into Nor- way. What that did was that moved thousands of Ger- man soldiers out and made it possible to invade there. We parachuted in the night before behind enemy lines and secured the bridges." During the address, Eisenhower told the men they had been training a long time and the officers had tried to keep them out of trouble just for that mis- sion, Shepherd said. What they did next was just fol- low his orders. "He said 'the success of D-Day depends on the de- termination of the airborne troops,'" Shepherd said. "When you boys get over there, I want you to tear up every God damn thing you find. If you can't tear it up, piss on it.' We were there about four hours before the invasion to clear the way." There was a high number of casualties that day and the 101st Airborne suffered a 46 percent rate of casu- alties, said Bob Shepherd, Carl's son. Born in the small town of Soper, Oklahoma in 1925, Shepherd's love of country was so great that he left home in 1942 and lied about his age to get into the mili- tary, he said. He served un- til 1946 with his last tour of duty being a position as a parole officer at Leaven- worth, Kansas. "They were drafting 18-year-olds into the Army at the time," Shepherd said. "I got to watching the news and saw they weren't get- ting it done so I decided I had to get over there and get it done. I lied about my age so I went in at 17 and was 18 by the time we got into Normandy." While in training, Shep- herd said he remembers well having to do about a 140-mile forest march in just a few days because an officer heard about a Japa- nese soldier who had done a 130-mile march with his troops. "One of the officers popped off and said 'my men can do better,' so we did," Shepherd said. "That was a very long march." Shepherd never suffered any major injuries. The worst sent him to a London hospital after giving a dem- onstration jump for Wiston Churchill, Eisenhower and his British counterpart, Commander Bernard Mont- gomery, Shepherd said. "The wind was damn near blowing the trucks off the road and we didn't think they were going to jump us so we relaxed," Shepherd said. "I hurt my leg, but there were so many wounded I was laying on the ground and it took about four to five hours to get me to the hospital." After leaving the Army, Shepherd ended up work- ing in oil fields, traveling to France, England and his final job Guatemala be- fore making it back to Cal- ifornia. "I was a wildcat- ter drilling wells where they'd never been explored," Shepherd said. "I'd always wanted a cattle ranch so when I got back to Califor- nia I ended up in Cotton- wood and bought a ranch." In 1961 Shepherd and his wife, Prentice, moved to Benson Road with their three children Bob, Carole (Moore) and Mary (Van- Dyke), where they raised cattle, pigs, chickens and horses until about 1968 when they moved into town, buying a place in Red Bluff. During his time in Red Bluff, Carl kept busy with real estate investing and development while Pren- tice got her real estate bro- kers license and the couple became active in the Ma- sonic Lodge, the Elks, Ro- tary and various other com- munity organizations. Carl, always looking for an opportunity, decided there was a need for an- other tire retailer in Red Bluff and in 1982 he opened B.C. Tire Sales with his wife keeping the books and serv- ing as office manager on South Jackson Street. It later moved to a larger building across the street before the business opened a full service tire store on Antelope Boulevard. He also opened stores in An- derson and Cottonwood.

This money will pur- chase three vehicles with the possibility of having some funds left over. The money will cover all decal work, installation of new equipment and every- thing the vehicles need to be ready for service, Sand- ers said. A department officer is scheduled to go multiple times to the Sacramento Superior Courthouse for a homicide trial, which rein- forces the need for a suffi- cient vehicle, Sanders said. From the health insur- ance account balance of $51,936, $40,000 will go toward special supplies and services and $9,000 toward vehicle repair costs. The Social Security budget for the six month review is $84,624. Of that, $72,605 has been spent. Of the remaining savings, $6,000 will go to Peace Of- ficer Standards in Train- ing program and $2,411 will go toward non-POST training programs. The found savings is in part a result of the quar- ter cent sales tax increase passed by voters, Sanders said. Under those require- ments, funds should be used for public safety de- partments including the police department. Each of the requested items fit within the parameters of what the voters were told the money would be used for.

Arrest FROM PAGE 1 By Christopher S. Rugaber The Associated Press WASHINGTON Sinking oil prices have cratered the stockmarket.Butasilverlin- ing could appear eventually. Cheaper gasoline and heating oil are giving con- sumers worldwide more money that they can use to stepupspendinglater—and perhaps energize economies in the United States, Europe and much of Asia. The question is, will they — and when? "It's definitely a plus for consumers," Sara Johnson, an economist at forecasting firmIHSGlobalInsight,said of the deep savings being accumulated from sharply lower energy prices. "We shouldseeapickupinspend- ing in the first quarter." The price of oil reached a 12-year low of $28.15 a bar- rel by the end of trading Wednesday before poking above $29 on Thursday. As recently as June, the price was about $60. Retail gasoline prices have sunk to a national av- erage of $1.86 a gallon, the lowestsince2009,according to AAA. The timing and size of the economic benefit that many analysts expect to re- sult from cheaper oil and gas isn't clear. Oil prices be- gan falling in mid-2014 but have so far failed to deliver the kind of boost to U.S. growth that economists had expected. One factor is that widespread layoffs and spending cuts by oil drill- ers have offset some of the boost from steady consumer spending. And many Americans have saved, rather than spent, the money left over after filling up. That has de- pressedgrowthbecausecon- sumerspendingdrivesabout 70 percent of the U.S. econ- omy. At some point, though, continued savings from cheaper energy could fuel more robust investment and spending. "It's a question of, do they spend it now, or do they spend it later?" said Scott Hoyt, senior director of con- sumereconomicsatMoody's Analytics. Since the start of the year, global stock prices have plummeted. Many stock investors fear that cheaper oil reflects a world- wide economic slump that has sapped demand, partic- ularly in emerging markets like China and Brazil. But most economists say that a huge increase in the supply of oil, rather than a falloff in demand, is the main culprit for tumbling energy prices. That makes it more likely, they say, that de- veloped economies will ben- efit from energy savings and remain healthy. Anotherfactoris the long- term nature of the price de- cline.Oilandgas priceshave fallen for about 18 months. Eventually,Johnsonsaid,the persistence of the price de- clines will likely assure con- sumers that cheaper gas is here to stay and encourage more spending. Michael Gapen, an econ- omist at Barclay's, forecasts that consumerspendingwill grow at a 3 percent annual rate in the first half of this year, lifting growth back to a decent 2 percent to 2.5 percent range. In the final three months of 2015, most analysts think U.S. growth slowed to an annual rate be- low 1 percent. Lower oil prices should also bolster Europe's fragile recovery, according to econ- omists at Citi. And many Asian countries are also op- timistic about the long-term impact "The country has really benefited from the lower oil price," Prime Min- ister Nawaz Sharif of Paki- stan said at the World Eco- nomicForuminDavos,Swit- zerland. "People have a sort of sigh of relief." 12-YEAR LOW Falling oil prices could lead consumers to spend more later KEVIN LILES — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE Cornelio Bonilla pumps gas at Best Food Mart gas station in Gainesville, Georgia. Sinking oil prices have cratered the stock market, but a silver lining may soon appear. Cheaper gasoline and heating oil will give consumers worldwide more money to spend, or save and spend later, and possibly boost economic growth in the U.S., Europe and much of Asia.
