The fire broke out about 1:45 a.m. Jan. 19, and Chad Glenn woke up and was able to rescue his two daugh- ters, students at Manton School. Glenn's wife per- ished in the fire. The youngest daughter, a kindergartner, was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Redding to be treated for smoke inhalation and some burns and school secretary Linda Strawn said she had updates from friends that the girl was released. The older daughter, a second-grader who ran back into the house to try to save a pet, received se- rious burns. She was flown to a larger hospital out of the area for treatment and friends have reported she has been moved out of in- tensive care, Strawn said. Those who were unable to make it to the event can help by bringing a dona- tion by the school between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. week- days or mailing a dona- tion to P.O. Box 410, Man- ton, 96059.

Fundraiser FROMPAGE1 Thomas, 29, and her father, Keith Vernon Thomas, 53, were found on the ground in front of the building. A third person was shot and left wounded at the scene. Two detectives from the Tehama County Sheriff's Of- fice testified Tuesday at the hearing. Throughtheinvestigation of the case, Det. Eric Pat- terson recalls a statement an officer told him while Noonkester was detained in the sheriff's vehicle. "(Noonkester) said some- thing to the effect of, 'I'm not proud of what I did. I can't believe I did it,'" Pat- terson said. Ten empty shell cases were found at the scene and the rifle used was cat- egorized as a spring loaded battle rifle, Patterson said. Magazines containing am- munition were found at- tached to the rifle and in Noonkester's vehicle. The incident started with a 911 call received from Kimberlee Thomas at 4:09 p.m. Thursday July 2, 2015 in which she told dispatch- ers her ex-husband had punched her father, accord- ing to a Tehama County Sheriff's Department press release issued July 3, 2015. The call abruptly ended. Shortly thereafter, sev- eral reports were received of shots fired at the Coun- try Store in the Lake Cali- fornia community near Cot- tonwood. Scanner reports about 4:15 p.m. indicated seven or eight shots had been fired and two persons were down at the store with a woman being shot in the head. A man who had been shot in the back left the scene. The third victim, iden- tified as Anthony Maitias Baugher, 25, of Cottonwood, was taken to a local hospi- tal for a non-life threaten- ing wound and released. Baugher was shot from shoulder to shoulder across the back, Patterson said. Deputies and California Highway Patrol officers re- sponded to the area to se- cure the scene and located the two bodies. Deputies detained Noonkester and he was booked on the above charges. He remains in cus- tody without bail. If an agreement or change of plea is not made by the second pre-trial hear- ing a trial date would be set at the Feb. 22 hearing.

By Amy Taxin and Gillian Flaccus TheAssociatedPress SANTA ANA One of three fugitive inmates who es- caped from an Orange County jail last week was ordered deported to Viet- nam in 1998 but has been in the country racking up a lengthy rap sheet, immi- gration officials said Tues- day. Bac Duong, 43, came to the United States legally in 1991 but was ordered re- moved seven years later, Immigration and Cus- toms Enforcement said in a statement. The order came shortly after he served time in state prison on a 1997 bur- glary conviction, state re- cords show. The case is one of thou- sands involving immi- grants convicted of crimes who federal authorities want to deport but haven't been able to because their native countries wouldn't take them back. In 2012, ex-convict Binh Thai Luc was charged with killing five people in San Francisco after Vietnam didn't issue the travel doc- uments needed to repatri- ate him. Immigration officials said they took Duong into custody in 2003 and re- leased him the follow- ing year. He continued to check in with authorities as required until 2014, the statement said. During that time, he also faced a series of charges for crimes including burglary and drug possession and did stints in state prison. Last year, he was charged with attempted murder and assault in the shooting of a man outside a home in Santa Ana. Federal officials can't keep immigrants locked up indefinitely while they await deportation. Most must be released after six months, except those ac- cused of posing a terrorist threat or deemed especially dangerous. Formanyyears,Vietnam did not honor U.S. govern- ment requests to repatriate deportees.

DEATH NOTICES By Rebecca Boone The Associated Press Authorities say shots were fired Tuesday during the arrest of members of an armed group that has oc- cupied a national wildlife refuge in Oregon for more than three weeks. In a statement, the FBI said one individual "who was a subject of a federal probable cause arrest is de- ceased." No other informa- tion about the deceased was immediately released. The FBI said authorities arrested Ammon Bundy, 40, his brother Ryan Bundy, 43, Brian Cavalier, 44, Shawna Cox, 59, and Ryan Payne, 32, during a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 395 Tues- day afternoon. Authorities said another person, Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, 45, was arrested in Burns. Bundy's group, which has included people from as far away as Arizona and Mich- igan, seized the headquar- ters of the Malheur Na- tional Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 2 as part of a long- running dispute over pub- lic lands in the West. Bundy is the son of Ne- vada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a high- profile 2014 standoff with the government over graz- ing rights. The FBI said the peo- ple arrested Tuesday face a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede of- ficers of the United States from discharging their of- ficial duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats. Federal law enforcement officers converged on the wildlife refuge after the ar- rests and were expected to remain at the site through- out the night. It was un- clear how many members of the armed group, if any, were at the refuge when the law enforcement offi- cers arrived. Bundy's group, calling itself Citizens for Consti- tutional Freedom, came to the frozen high desert of eastern Oregon to decry what it calls onerous federal land restrictions and to ob- ject to the prison sentences of two local ranchers con- victed of setting fires. Specifically, the group wanted federal lands turned over to local au- thorities. The U.S. govern- ment controls about half of all land in the West, Local and state authori- ties had criticized the FBI recently for not taking ac- tion against Bundy's group. Local authorities and residents had urged Bun- dy's group to leave peace- fully. Many locals feared the group would bring prob- lems to the area.

Obituaries ThePassingParadeisbroughttoyoubyMinchPropertyManagement, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527-5514 THEPASSINGPARADE Therewasatime,whenthiscolumnwasfirstproposed, that the concept was to relate details about locals who had recently demised…perhaps some anecdotes that would further delineate the man or woman I had known well. It was hoped that this column (the title taken from the John Nesbitt travelogues by the same name that bored kids silly during Saturdays matinees at the old State Theatre) would give a little more depth to the conventional obituaries which lingered, for the most part, on the recently departed's love of hunting and fishing. But then running out of familiar faces absent the scene, I began re-printing my father's old I Say columns…and then those of my own in an attempt to recapture some of the old days when our hearts were young and, if not gay, at least not endangered by random killings by those with too easy access to firearms. But…I digress. The recently departed, Manjit "Ben" Baines was a person I knew well. He owned the Sunrise Gas Station and Convenience Store next to the corner of Antelope Blvd and St. Mary's Avenue. We had been friends since he first came by the office several years ago to discuss his desire to purchase the vacant lot next to his store. Ben was small of stature but large of heart and spoke effusively of his birth in India and of his college education there before traveling and working on merchant ships around the world until his decision to move to our fair city. He was atfirst tentative, almost differ ential, withhis openingremarks which were seldom about the real reason for his visit. Over the last year, I would inquire about his health, for he looked wan and had lost weight. He told me that he had been diagnosed with a serious ill- ness…and as treatment in the U.S. was too expensive, he had decided to go to India for an operation. After a lengthy absence he reappeared, reported his illness appeared to be in remission…and was anxious to get back to business. Business to him was always the same subject. He wanted to purchase the va- cant lot next door for parking or expansion, and did not understand why the owners would not accept his generous offer. Knowing the owners were not inclined to sell, I tried to steer him away from the subject. "Manjit, we have discussed this many times, but they continue to reject your offer." "Yes, but I am offering cash." "They know that." Ben persisted, "No one else will buy the lot. I have investigated and it is not a complete acre so a lot line adjustment will have to…" "I've explained that to them. How is your health?' "'I'm fine. I am feeling better…but would feel better if they would accept my offer." And so it went. But now, little, affable and adamant Manjit Baines is gone at 64, and we won't have the pleasure of his genial company again. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 2016 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM | NEWS | 9 A
