Garden FROM PAGE 3 business community, but the community as a whole, she said. "Everyone always thinks the chamber knows everything and I do try to go out of my way to get the answer," Cardenas said. One thing her replace- ment has going for him is that as the former owner of House of Brews, James Pendergraft, known as J.C., already has a lot of connections, which was evident in the many hugs and greetings he has re- ceived his first week when people have stopped in to the office, she said. "Over the last week- end he sold his business, bought a new car, got en- gaged and got a new job," Cardenas said. "I'm glad we've got J.C. He's young, energetic, smart and he loves the community." Retirement FROM PAGE 1 having to go to Sacramento or Vallejo for these services in the past. The Tehama County Health Department will refer and transport pa- tients to Restpadd after be- ing medically cleared in a hospital or medical facility, Friend said. Other agen- cies may transfer patients as well. One concern of the citi- zens of Red Bluff was how loading and unloading pa- tients of mental health would look to the outside. A fear of a patient escap- ing was another concern when discussion of loading and unloading patient was brought up. Most mental health pa- tients are not violent, said Valerie Lucero executive director of the Tehama County Health Services. Most often they are only a harm to themselves, she said. "The mental health pa- tients are our neighbors and community members who just need some help," Lucero said. The owner of Scoops Ice Cream on Walnut Street, Frank Ferreira, appealed the decision of the planning commission stating there is not enough parking in the area, there are safety con- cerns for his customers and family and a dumpster area is lacking for the two build- ing. Ferreira had concerns about people from the facil- ity using his business' park- ing lot. Businesses that have been at that location previ- ously have taken over his parking lot many times be- fore. There is no criticism to- ward the Restpadd Facility, Ferreira said, this facility is very much needed but the facility should be located elsewhere. Putting the facility near the airport was one sug- gested by Council woman Daniele Jackson that would be further discussed when the meeting is set. The council voted 3-2 against the permit. Facility FROM PAGE 1 3-Gun Shoot, but several new events are planned. Round-Up President John Trede said the rodeo has introduced an online ticketing program that has been a great success, with 75 percent of the tickets for Saturday's performance al- ready sold. Other additions this year are mutton bust- ing prior to the Friday per- formance and a 21 and older party at the fairgrounds fol- lowing the performance featuring a concert by Chad Bushnell. Trede said the Budweiser Clydesdales are scheduled to return, as well as the Wells Fargo stage coach and the Flying Cowboys motor- cycle act. Another new event be- ing planned is a Stampede Fun Run starting and fin- ishing at the fairgrounds, with courses of 1 mile, 5K and 10K. The run will be a fundraiser for the Red Bluff High School track and cross country teams, said ro- deo director JB Stacy, and is scheduled for Sunday, April 10. Activities get un- derway Thursday, April 7, with Cowboy Coffee hosted at the Round-Up Museum. Awards for the Business Decorating Contest will be given out during the coffee. In recent years the film students at Shasta College have held a film festival the Friday before the rodeo, but no representative attended the meeting. The Chili Cook-off and car show is scheduled downtown April 9 and new this year will be a Round Up Your Wagons wine bus tour starting at 3 p.m. hosted by Soroptimist International of Red Bluff. The 3-Gun Shoot and Stampede Fun Run are scheduled for Sunday, April 10 and the Cowboys and Kids program will visit lo- cal schools April 11-13.

Rodeo FROM PAGE 1 Public Information Officer Trisha Coder said. Work along Interstate 5 in Tehama, Shasta and Sis- kiyou counties will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily through Friday with work resuming again at 6 p.m. Monday, Coder said. It is hoped the work, done by Tullis, Inc. out of Red- ding, will be completed by the end of next week, but that is dependent upon the weather, she said. "We hope the weather holds up and it can be completed the first of next week," Coder said. "What happened is what we refer to as anomalies, which can be anything that reduces friction. This could be div- ets or something with the polyester coating, which sometimes creates pockets." A group was called in from headquarters in Sac- ramento to perform skid tests on the Cottonwood Creek Bridge, Coder said. Upon finding issues there, the group also tested all other bridges in the dis- trict with the same type of coating. "Motorists will encoun- ter ramp and lane closures, but no delays are antici- pated," Coder said. The first location will be the Cottonwood Creek Bridge at the Shasta/Te- hama County line. Loca- tions in addition to Cotton- wood Creek are the South Sacramento River Bridge and Blue Tent Creek in Red Bluff. Thomes Creek near Corning and a location near Dunsmuir will be com- pleted during the daytime. Repair costs will depend on the complexity of the issue, which is still being looked into, Coder said. Ini- tial estimates are between $400,000 and $700,000, she said. I-5 FROM PAGE 1 By Emily Wagster and Josh Funk The Associated Press JACKSON, MISS. A tor- nado-damaged women's prison was running partly on backup power and heavy rain prompted an apart- ment evacuation in north- west Georgia on Wednes- day, a day after storms spawned tornadoes in Mis- sissippi and Alabama and dumped snow on places farther west. The administration building at the Federal Correctional Institution Aliceville, near the town of Aliceville in western Al- abama, was running on a generator, the U.S. Depart- ment of Justice said in a statement. No employees or inmates were hurt by the tornado that struck late Tuesday afternoon at the low-security lockup, which houses about 1,850 inmates, the statement said. In the same region, more than a dozen homes were destroyed by a tor- nado that touched down in the town of McMullen on Tuesday evening, the Na- tional Weather Service said. The weather service said its survey crews on Wednes- day were working to deter- mine how many tornadoes struck and where they hit. In Georgia, the apart- ments being evacuated due to flooding before dawn Wednesday were near the town of Fort Oglethorpe, just south of Chattanooga, Tennessee, the weather ser- vice said, citing a report from an emergency man- ager in Catoosa County, Georgia. No serious inju- ries were reported. On Tuesday, tornadoes touched down in Missis- sippi and Alabama as thun- derstorms swept through the region, while a power- ful snowstorm buried parts of Colorado and Nebraska in more than a foot of snow before crawling into the Upper Midwest. A confirmed tornado was reported just before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in east- ern Newton and Lauder- dale counties, largely rural areas in the eastern part of the state, said Greg Flynn, spokesman for the Missis- sippi Emergency Manage- ment Agency. The storm damaged homes, toppled trees and knocked out power, said Lauderdale County Sheriff Billy Sollie. In Alabama, the National Weather Service in Bir- mingham reported a "con- firmed large and destruc- tive tornado" on the ground in the same general area as the women's prison, about 45 miles west of Tuscalo- osa. Minor injuries were reported. Later, in west Tennes- see, high winds damaged several homes and sev- eral buildings at Crockett County High School, the National Weather Service said. Public schools were closed Wednesday to survey damage from the weather. In Cheatham County, near Nashville, officials said a driver had to be rescued Wednesday when his sport utility vehicle was swept into a flooded creek. The combination of snow in one part of the country and severe thunderstorms in another isn't unusual when a powerful system moves across the country, said Greg Carbin with the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. "February can feature some exciting dynamics in the atmosphere," Carbin said. "This system we've had our eye on since it was in the Pacific." The weather system that blew in from Califor- nia steadily dumped snow on the Denver area Mon- day and continued over- night. Heavy snowfall and powerful winds on Tuesday knocked out power, prompt schools and businesses to close, and triggered flight cancellations across a large swath of states from Colo- rado to northern Michigan.
