"Itlookslikepeoplearehaving a great time," Oeltjenbruns said. We do races all over the nation by contract and a lot of work goes into this." —HunterOeltjenbruns,racedirector By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Family, friends, county representa- tives and community members packed the Still- well Training Center, 2010 Park Ave., Saturday, spilling into the hallway and a few lingering near the doors for a dedication ceremony of the Te- hama County Search and Rescue Memorial and the addition of names of members who died while still active in the organization. A brief break from the rain and wind allowed for the ceremony for the family members of Steve Stillwell, Greg Gormley and Chuck Irwin. There was time to fly the first American flag on the new pole, a flag presented to the Gormley family that had been flown over the US Capitol in his honor. Cuttlefish Submarine Group Base Commander Gil Houston raised, lowered to half mast and then removed the flag and folded it due to the weather. "Greg was one of our submariners," Houston said. "The three gentleman we are here to honor were like the minute-men of old. They were on TEHAMA COUNTY Search& Rescue Memorial dedicated Staff Reports RED BLUFF Three Red Bluff schools were locked down briefly Monday morning after an anony- mous report of a man with a gun in the area Red Bluff Union High School. At around 10:20 a.m., staff at the high school received a second hand, anonymous tip that a person was walking near the tennis courts Lin- coln Street with a shotgun, according to a release issued Monday evening by the Red Bluff Police Department. As a result of the tip, the high school, Lincoln Street School, Bidwell Elementary School and the Department of Education placed themselves on lockdown. Officers searched the area and found a man matching the description of a man walking in the area earlier, the release said. The man was at a friend's apartment and they were in posses- sion of a pellet gun.

The group is in the pro- cess of planning for its 18th, 19th and 20th sites and has already received about $300 of the $1,000 that it should cost to reach non-profit status, founder J.T. Shoults said. While the rainy weather did not help, Shoults said he was opti- mistic the goal could be reached. The group will be post- ing a crowdsourcing fun- draiser on barnraiser. com within the next few weeks and Shoults said he is hopeful the organiza- tion's award-winning sta- tus will help as well.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter CORNING The rain didn't keep an enthusiastic crowd of runners from partici- pating in the third annual Corning Color Dash 5K race starting at Corning Union High School. Old and young alike gathered with several teens and young children running around throwing colorful powder at one an- other in preparation for the start line. The rain, which was just sprinkling, was good for helping the colorful pow- der stick, said race director Hunter Oeltjenbruns, with the Minnesota-based Color Dash company. "It looks like people are having a great time," Oeltjenbruns said. "We do races all over the nation by contract and a lot of work goes into this. Amy Gonc- zeruk has been planning this race for 12 weeks. The great thing is that for ev- eryone registered 50 per- cent goes to charity. Our founder's heart was to give 50 percent back to make a difference instead of it be- ing mostly about business. Really, it's about support- ing charities out in the community." The run was held to benefit the Corning High School STARs — Students Taking Academic Respon- sibility — program. The 5K course — about 3.2 miles — was run on the streets making a loop around the high school with various random spots where people were hit with clouds of colorful powder. There were about 310 registered for the race prior to the start and of those about 100 were Corn- ing High School students, who had a contingent of about 40 students, in ad- dition to the runners who came out to volunteer for the race, said Heather Fe- FUNDRAISER COLOR RUN SUCCESSFUL DESPITE RAINY WEATHER Race participants take off from the start line on Saturday at the Corning Color Dash 5K race held at the Corning Union High School.
