EXPECT MORE TEHAMA Eventgives recent grads a leg up on college The Associated Press SACRAMENTO California's state budget includes $5 million for a gun violence research center at the University of California. The Assembly and Senate approved the research fund- ing Thursday as part of several pieces of budget-related legisla- tion. Gun-violence researchers have long complained that funding is hard to find since Congress in 1996 prohibited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from paying for gun research. Democratic Sen. Lois Wolk of Davis says violent acts includ- ing the weekend mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando, Flor- ida has left people searching for answers. She says scientific data and methods can help provide them. Gun-rights advocates were op- posed, saying the research would be used to bolster more gun con- trol laws.

HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter REDBLUFF Tehama County law enforcement tested with team members of the Northern Cal- ifornia Regional Child Abduc- tion Response Team, or CART, Thursday in hopes of becoming the 22nd nationally recognized and federally certified team. An exercise was held at the Red Bluff Community Center in which officers from the re- gion, which includes Siskiyou and Shasta counties, with two consultants from the Missing and Abuducted Children Am- ber Alert Child Abduction Re- sponse Team evaluating. Alan Wolochuk, a California Highway Patrol retiree who was the lead assessor, announced during a debriefing following the exercise that he intended to recommend the team for national certification, said Te- hama County Sheriff's Sgt. Rod Daugherty, one of the exercise organizers. Evaluators were looking at incident command structure and the management of those who served as leads in the in- cident, Wolochuk said. Evalua- tors, who work with the US De- partment of Justice in certifi- cations, had a checklist of 47 items to consider in their rec- ommendation. While there are 103 CART teams nationally, there are only 21 certified pres- ently in the nation. Evaluators pass a recommen- dation on to Amber Alert, which passes a decision onto the De- partment of Justice for the fi- nal decision. The process could take anywhere from one to two months and if it passes, the Northern California team will be the first in the state to be cer- tified, Wolochuk said. The original CART team started following the disap- pearance of a girl named Am- ber in Texas in 1996, said Te- hama County Sheriff's Lt. Yvette Borden, who served as Public Information Officer for the exercise. Tehama County officers and deputies have been working as part of a CART team for about six years, holding three field ex- ercises in the past three years to prepare with the one Thursday being the test, Daugherty said.
