Themajestyandmystery of trees — and the creatures that sometimes call them homes — is the subject of the Gateway Science Muse- um's newest exhibit, which opened May 28. The public is invited to spend quality time this summer hanging out in the trees with a visit to "Tree- Houses" at the Gateway. This exhibit includes fun, hands-on ways to explore the important roles trees play in providing homes for all sorts of wild inhabitants. Incorporating all of the senses, this exhibit engages museumgoers of all ages in indoor nature explorations and the ecology of sustain- able harvesting of this im- portant natural resource. The museum's summer hours are noon to 5 p.m., WednesdaythroughSunday, from May 28 to Sept. 4. Families visiting the ex- hibit can look for signs of animal tree dwellers as they walk through an in- door tree house and across a wobbly connecting bridge, play a computerized forest game where they can har- vest trees without harming wildlife, watch how a forest becomes a house, view the treehousespeoplehavebuilt aroundtheworld,seestereo- scopic 3-D images of some of the smaller animals living in trees and listen for animals inside a tree house and try to guess their sounds on an "animal dance floor." Visitors to the Gateway this summer can enjoy "Research at the Ready," a showcase of exemplary stu- dent and faculty research posters from the College of Natural Sciences; the final season of "Modern Farm- ing—Land, Water, People and Science"; and "Gateway Gardens," an outdoor explo- ration into native plants, pollinators and sustainable practices. The museum is at 625 Esplanade next to Bidwell Mansion. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for children and students, and free for museum members and chil- dren under 3.

GATEWAYSCIENCEMUSEUM Hang out in the trees this summer The jury selected to de- termine the guilt or inno- cence of Tom Robinson, lo- cal bootblack, on the charge of selling whiskey to R. H. and H. G. Barker, had failed to reach a verdict at eleven o'clock last night and went to bed. Judge Ellison had instructed that after that hour he would not be at the call of the jury. They may spend some more time on it this morning but a dis- agreement is expected. The two Barker broth- ers testified to having pur- chased whiskey from Robin- son in the back room of his establishment. Robinson denied the charge and said they offered him a drink. He also testified the two bother were drunk. Frank Wolfe was also called and testified the two men were "pretty well lit up." The brothers testified they had taken two or three drinks of wine during the day on which they claimed to have purchased the liquor. The case was given to the jury just before six o'clock Monday evening. — June 4, 1916 100 YEARS AGO... Jury can't agree on verdict in Robinson case This week I am ex- tremely delighted to write about a number of adoption programs which were initiated last year and are continu- ing, thanks to the col- laboration of PETS and the Tehama County Animal Care Cen- ter (TCACC). Both PETS and TCACC believe that these programs will not only help the homeless animals at the Center, but will also provide mem- bers of our community the means to experience the joy of having a com- panion pet in their life. The first is the "A Se- nior for A Senior" adop- tion program. This pro- gram is specifically de- signed to help senior citizens who are on a fixed income, and are ca- pable of caring for a pet, but are unable to afford the full adoption fees of a dog or cat at the Tehama County Animal Care Cen- ter. Senior pets end up in shelters for a myriad of reasons. Those rea- sons are often the same as for any other animal, such as neglect, abandon- ment, or simply because their owners no longer want the animal. Unfor- tunately, for some, their previous owners may have passed away with- out providing instruc- tion regarding what hap- pens to their beloved pet. Whatever the reason, the health of older animals is at higher risk in a shel- ter environment. They usually do not adapt well and frequently will de- cline rapidly. These senior pets, like our senior citi- zens, deserve to spend the rest of their lives, no mat- ter how long it may be, in the company of someone who cares. To qualify for this program, an adopter must be at least 60 years young, and adopt a senior dog or cat that is approx- imately 6 years or older. The program discounts adoption fees to $20.00 for Senior Dogs and $0.00 for Senior Cats. All ani- mals in this adoption pro- gram will be spayed/neu- tered, micro-chipped and have current vaccinations prior to adoption. Every day law enforce- ment and firefighters risk their lives to protect all that we hold dear. Be- cause of their actions the families we love, the com- munity we live in, and the businesses our live- lihoods depend on, all breathe a bit easier know- ing that these men and women stand ready to do what is necessary to safe- guard us. PETS, in an ef- fort to show apprecia- tion for their service, is continuing its "Everyone Needs A Hero" Adoption Program. During this program the spay/neuter and rabies fees of any an- imal adopted at TCACC will be paid by PETS for any employee or recog- nized volunteer of any of the following organi- zations within Tehama County: Tehama County Fire Department, Cal Fire any police department, the Tehama County Sher- iff's Office, and California Highway Patrol. This year brings ad- ditional exciting news. In an effort to find even more homes for all of the cats and kittens that ar- rive at TCACC, there shall be six "Free Cat Friday" adoption events. Dur- ing these events, adop- tion fees for adult cats are waived and kittens will have their adoption fees dropped to only $10. All cats and kittens available for adoption are current on vaccinations and have been tested for feline leu- kemia. Additionally, all spay/neuter and rabies vaccination fees will be paid by PETS "Free Cat Friday" events will be held June 10, July 8, Aug. 12, Sept. 9, Oct. 14, and Nov. 11, at the Tehama County Animal Care Cen- ter. PETS is also pleased to announce that they will be joining the Te- hama County Commu- nity Action Agency, PETS Currentadoption programs in Tehama County Thefollowinginformation is compiled from Red Bluff PoliceDepartment,RedBluff Fire, Tehama County Sher- iff's Department, Corning Police Department, Corning Fire, Cal Fire and California Highway Patrol logs.
