CORRECTION Athlete le off list of championship qualifiers This week's most wanted subject is Karena Tyra Hopton, 22, from Red Bluff. Hopton has two felony no bail drug related war- rants for her arrest along with one misdemeanor theft related warrant for $12,500. Hopton is a white woman, 5 feet 2 inches, 115 pounds, blonde hair, blue eyes. Anyone with informa- tion regarding Hopton's w h e r e - abouts can all any lo- cal law en- forcement agency at any time or during business hours the T e h a m a County District Attorney's Bureau of Investigations Office at 530-529-3590. All callers will remain confi- dential. TEHAMA COUNTY Police search for most wanted telephone call. It was Floyd, who said, "what did you think of my messenger ser- vice." He then instructed me to look out my large south window. I did, after I laid the phone down. I couldn't miss the mes- sage — a large white card, pinned clothes intact to a very large, sticker tumble weed up against my south fence. Needless to say, the first day the north wind blew I returned my message on the same tumbleweed. One year while I hap- pened to be part owner of a travel agency, Floyd decided to have his WW II buddies and their wives come for a visit to our beautiful area; flights for them were from as far away as New Jer- sey and several other ar- eas around the U.S. Mostly flying into Reno or Sacra- mento. Rental cars got them to us. We placed them in private homes like Floyd's, and Doris Forward's, mine and a few in motels. There were group diners and barbecues, and we took them to Mt. Lassen, Mt. Shasta, our Rodeo, the fish hatchery and other places of interest — always hav- ing at least one meal of the day as a group event. They loved it, and there were several of these re- unions in different locales over the years. Floyd never spoke of his Navy deeds; it was his bud- dies who did, as when in the English Channel off Slap- ton Sands on D Day in the midst of death and destruc- tion from the enemy. Floyd, aboard his Navy ships, dove over and over into the frigid waters bringing back the American survivors, and the dead. On our next trip, the group chose Southampton, England, and a ferry ride over to France, then driv- ing to Slapton Sands. Bleak, sad, peaceful de- scribe the scenes. We walked Utah and Omaha beaches, on the gorgeous white sands still strewn with blasted, rusted out relics of war. It was ee- rie, quiet. Francehassetasidemiles of those beaches as a memo- rial. The first morning we were there I had made ar- rangements at a private inn close to the beaches for our breakfast. As we ate and talked with the other patrons, a local grandfatherly gentle- men went to the hostess and arranged to pick up the tab. As he started out the door I caught up with him to offer our thanks. The gentleman had tears in his eyes that were over- flowing. "If it had not been for you allies, my family would be speaking Ger- man," he said. All the people in our group stood, and as one, gave him a "hip, hip, hoo- ray!" And yes the tribute was under the direction of Floyd. Over the years it seemed to me that Floyd was most proud of his children's en- deavors. If one of them had a new musical piece, or ex- celled in an achievement, he couldn't wait to share the information, or perhaps a tape deck of their playing a musical instrument. I hope his family knows exactly how proud he al- ways was of them. Floyd served as Tehama County Clerk and Recorder for more than 30 years and later as a Tehama County Supervisor.

One man, a third gener- ation miner, sought help in getting back rights for min- ers, which Nielsen said are part of California's history. A woman asked about grazing rights, particularly on the Glenn County side of Black Butte. Nielsen said he has long been aware of and working on grazing rights, including founding the Cal- ifornia Alliance To Protect Private Property Rights or- ganization. Another man asked about the possibility of forming a coalition of conservative ru- ral representatives, both Democrat and Republican, to work together to get more done. Gallagher said that is already something the rural representatives have been working on, in part through Rural County Representa- tives of California. "We did that with the greenhouse gas emission reductions and when they wanted to cut fuel consump- tion," Gallagher said. "It was the first time the costal ur- ban community didn't get what they wanted and we got the job done." Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce CEO Dave Gowan asked what was being done to stimulate the economy, specifically for small businesses. Nielsen said the higher priority is water, but after that the legislature is fo- cussing on the biomass in- dustry, which could bring jobs, and getting Internet connectivity to rural areas to help businesses market products to places world- wide and encouraging tech companies to relocate closer to the rural areas in places like Redding and Chico. There also is a focus on growing agritourism as an industry. Gallagher said he hopes to start to prepare stu- dents for jobs they will go into, changing the age for vocational training from 16 to 14. One man questioned a 2014 law that made it illegal to carry a gun outside his house without a concealed carrypermit,whichisnotaf- fordable for those on a fixed income. Red Bluff Mayor Clay Parker outlined the need for statehelpwiththetrafficim- pact due to the new court- house on Walnut Street, a state facility. A Corning man with the State of Jefferson movement said he has had difficulties getting anyone from Galla- gher's and Nielsen's offices to return calls. Only two people, both representatives from Southern California, had ever returned his call. He asked about moving for- wardwiththeStateofJeffer- son, citing Gallagher's sup- port for the movement dur- ing his campaign. Gallagher said a bill sent forward now would most likely fail unless it had two things — a lawsuit under- mining the Reynolds vs. Sims Supreme Court case that determined represen- tation would be drawn up by population and a letter of declaration of support from every county the proposed state would affect. Other concerns from res- idents included medical re- form and workers compen- sation's denial of marijuana in favor of oxycodone, fire protection ratings for insur- ance purposes, the possibil- ity of monitors on domestic wells, the Sites Reservoir Joel Johnson, a veteran and student at Shasta Col- lege, expressed concern about rights taken away by SB 707, which banned guns in a school zone. While local lawenforcementdoesagood job,theycan'tbeeverywhere at once, he said. Following the coffee event, Gallagher went to the Tehama County Veter- ans Service Office, where he presented Veterans Service Officer Kelly Osborne with a resolution recognizing the work her office has done in Tehama County.
