Deathnotices Staff report CORNING The name of a transient man found dead in his car Friday morning at the TA truck stop, 3524 99W, has been released. Dale Aubrey Aikin, 59, died in the March 11 fire with the preliminary cause of death listed as carbon monoxide poisoning ac- cording to the preliminary finding in the coroner's re- port, said Tehama County Sheriff's Lt. Yvette Borden. "The official cause won't be determined un- til the toxicology results are in, but there does not appear to be anything sus- picious with the fire," Bor- den said. Cal Fire and Tehama County Fire were dis- patched to the truck stop about 8:50 a.m. The fire had been put out by the time the body was discov- ered inside. FATAL Na me , pr el im in ar y cause of death released in Corning truck stop fire fatality an increase in explosions in the northern region that have caused considerable property damages, injuries and even deaths to both manufacturers and inno- cent bystanders." A number of neighboring entities, including Shasta County, have already put an ordinance into effect. Whether or not the ordi- nances are effective in de- terring the problem, which Supervisor Candy Carlson questioned, is not known yet as they are relatively recent ordinances, DeSmet said. DeSmet's Office has done a preliminary survey of business owners who sell butane and found all but one were in favor of limiting purchases and most busi- nesses were already self- regulating, DeSmet said. "This is very timely," Su- pervisor Bob Williams said. "In my district there was an apartment complex Satur- day that had a butane re- lated explosion. I can imag- ine how living in an apart- ment and waking up to a honey oil explosion would be scary." In Saturday's explosion one resident was treated on scene for burns to their hands. The ordinance has three major prohibitions with the first being the limit of 600 milliliters in a single trans- action and the second be- ing that no one can pur- chase that same amount again within a 30-day pe- riod. Vendors are to keep detailed records of all bu- tane sales transactions for a two-year period. The final prohibition is that no one is allowed to possess more than 600 mil- liliters of butane except ven- dors selling it. Butane FROM PAGE 1 able to come up with plans to better serve veterans. The collaborative was formed to address the needs of local veterans and their families through coor- dinated collaboration. With the help of veteran services, such as Home Again K-9s for Veterans and the Veter- ans Home of California in Redding, the collaborative is able to do just that. Tehama County Veter- ans Service Officer Kelly Os- borne shared with the au- dience all the benefits and opportunities veterans have in the county. Through her office veterans can received identification cards that al- low them to receive dis- counts at many local busi- nesses, among many other things, Osborne said. The main function of the VSO is to make veterans and their families aware of benefits, because many don't know they are eligi- ble for them, Osborne said. Supervisor Candy Carl- son spoke about the Home Again K-9 program and how having a companion by a veteran's side, or a service dog to help, is ben- eficial. Home Again was formed to be a support re- source for veterans in the community. The organization helps with finding K-9 resources needed such as veterinary services, pet supplies, food and nutrition and equip- ment options, Carlson said. Other services, such as housing, are available for veterans.Redding'sVeterans Home of California is one of eight veteran homes of this kind in the state, said Gary Moore, the home's public in- formation officer. The vet- eran housing allows for vet- erans to have a recreational environment to call home. There are two sections of the building, one for res- idents who need limited medicalcareandanotherfor those who need more medi- cal attention. In each there are two clinal workers for every seven veterans, some- thing Moore said is a great ratio for a veterans home. Thegoalforthehomeisto provide veterans with what- ever they want and need to live a happy life while at the home, Moore said.

Boyd asks why is it that so many literary geniuses were born in April? He mentions Hans Chris- tian Anderson, Emile Zola, Rostand, Wordsworth, James, Bronte, Fielding, Shakespeare…and myself. Boyd didn't actually include me in his august list, but credit where credit is due.If he had zeroed in on the 3rd of April, he would have been astounded to learn that in addition to yours truly, Washington Irving, Helmut Kohl, Marlon Brando, Herb Caen and of course Sarah Lou Gonsalves, were all born on this special day. Birthday wishes are modestly accepted by at least two people on the list. As for the remainder, I suspect such sentiment would do them little good as they are now far removed from basking in the light of their good fame and fortune. Such are the fruits of glory. … The now vacant Kraft Playground on Rio has a great potential for something. On that we can agree. It is then only a matter of imagina- tion and financial resources to transform this grand old site to a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The members of the City Council are usually practical business men and not given to flights of creative thinking. Therefore, it is my thought, that a contest be held for citizens to come up with ideas for the sites highest and best use. It is, you know, ri verfront property with good frontage, is on several levels, and runs deep to the river. If a contest were held, it should offer monetary awards to the winners of categories such as imaginative, practicality and even multiple use. Perhaps the next door Cinderella Motel would get into the act and expand into the site for use by their guests. Whatever the finished product* it should be devoid of fencing if possible…perhaps even accessible at all hours. If it continued as a rec- reational site, it should be lit with timers. It might contain a basketball court, tennis court, a pool, have picnic tables, water and restrooms perhaps all surrounded by Astroturf. But, what is wrong with this non-commercial use? The potential for vandalism and the specter of liability requiring constant vigilance. Sigh. We live in a world today not envisioned by playground donor Herbert Kraft. *The site still sits unused some 44 years later. The present owner tells me that he is unable to sell or develop the property because of con- tamination caused by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company whichhad a substation next door there years ago before selling the site to the Cinderella Motel people. They, PGE, admits to some contamination, but their attorneys have succeeded in blocking any attempts by the owner to remediate the site which would allow for future develop- ment. With all of the bad press the co mpany has endured over recent years, you would think they would be eager to clear the area for the benefit of all. Tsk, tsk.
