ByJulieZeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Over the summer, the Red Bluff Community Band, a long-time summer tradition, introduced a new face with sev- eral members making up the Red Bluff Community Swing Band, which will play tonight to benefit the Red Bluff Community Center. "The Sweetheart Swing event isn't so much a fundraiser," Lead Recreation Coordinator Erin Lu- evano said. "It's more of a fun- raiser. We were actually just wanting to create an event for the community to bring families out for some fun. We aren't expect- ing to make money off this event, we are just hoping to break even. We want to have more Commu- nity Events like this to encourage more family fun nights."

Surrounded by FBI agentsinarmoredvehicles,thelast four occupiers of a national na- ture preserve surrendered Thurs- day, and a leader in their move- ment who organized a 2014 stand- off with authorities was criminally charged in federal court. The holdouts were the last rem- nants of a larger group that seized the Malheur National Wildlife Ref- uge nearly six weeks ago, demand- ing that the government turn over the land to locals and release two ranchers imprisoned for setting fires. For the first time since Jan. 2, the federal land was fully under the control of the U.S. government.

A joint venture by the Tehama County Sheriff's Office and Red Bluff and Corning police depart- ments, Tehama Alert is a web- based emergency notification sys- tem designed to send out emer- gency messages through voice, text and e-mail messaging. The first step to receiving these notifications is to register an address and contact informa- tion through the Tehama County Sheriff's website at http://www.te- hamaso.org/tehama_emergency_ alert.htm, according to a press re- lease issued by the Red Bluff Po- lice Department. Registration forms are available at the Tehama County Sheriff's Of- fice for those without a computer. Emergency alerts are typically broadcast to a selected geographic region so by imputing both your home and work addresses you will receive the emergency alert in the places where you spend most of your time, the release said. Enter both a home address and work address, if both are in Tehama County. Tehama Alert may be used to broadcast information regarding lost or missing children or adults, or wanted and potentially dan- gerous people, the release said. A photo can be attached to a mes- sage. Instructions can be attached to a notification that may advise call- ing 911 if an observation is made that will help the police. The Tehama County Sher- iff's Office and the Red Bluff and Corning police departments in- tend to use Tehama Alert to no- tify citizens of a potential fire, gas leak, flood or other natural or hu- man caused incident in an area that would prompt an immediate evacuation. The police ask that residents do not dial 911 or otherwise contact your local law enforcement agency with non-emergency questions or requests, as your calls will likely delay the efforts of emergency ser- vice providers. This service has been funded with a grant from Department of Homeland Security and there is no cost to register for the service. For additional information, call Lisa Callaway or Sgt. Rod Daugh- erty at the Tehama County Sher- iff's Office, 529-7900 or visit teha- maso.org.
