Deathnotices Another part of the grant project will involve the installation of 1,100 feet of sidewalk in the Los Molinos area. It was ap- proved in November 2015 by the county as part of another project already planned for the area. The project will cost about $101,200 and is be- ing funded with money left over from a previ- ous Community Develop- ment Block Grant received by the county in 2014. It is a supplemental project of the Los Molinos Storm Drain and Flood Improve- ment project. The sidewalk will be in- stalled in the area of 99E where the storm drainage project is to take place and put five-foot-wide sections of sidewalk all the way down to Grant Street. The project will consist of storm drainage and roadway improvements, including sidewalks and bike lanes, on Grant Street between 99E and Stanford Avenue. The proposed improve- ments include full road- way reconstruction com- plete with designated bike lanes, curb, gutter, sidewalks and pavement markings.

By Janie Har The Associated Press SANFRANCISCO More than 70 media organizations in San Francisco plan to sat- urate online, TV and print publications this week with news stories about an issue that has stumped politicians and residents for decades: The city's homeless. Homelessnesshasdefined San Francisco for genera- tions, with panhandlers and urine-stained sidewalks as much a part of the scenery as the Golden Gate Bridge or Victorian homes on a hill- side. But with thousands of newcomers and tensions ex- acerbatedbyashortageofaf- fordablehousing,complaints about those who live on the streets are growing. Mediaoutletswillconcen- trate their coverage Wednes- daybutplanstoriesthrough- out the week in a push to in- form residents and spur action. The San Francisco Chronicle, one of the city's two daily newspapers, has lined up a week of coverage cappedbyafront-pageedito- rial Sunday. "Wehaveexpertise,andwe have resources," said Audrey Cooper,theChronicle'seditor- in-chief who created the idea forthe"SFHomelessProject." "We want things to get bet- ter, too, and we want people to make smarter decisions." SAN FRANCISCO Media plan week of coverage on city's homeless crisis cover and inside the book so her family could add it to their collection of mem- ory books. Bowring's grandmother, Julia Nystrom, said her fam- ily had started a collection of memory books and vid- eos from the Missoula Chil- dren's Theatre productions Bowring's mother had par- ticipated in over the years. Now Bowring get's her very own book to start her own collection. Nystrom said she thought the book was fabulous but her granddaughter was re- ally disappointed that she wasn't originally featured with the rest of the cast. When Nystrom found out what McConnell was going to do, she was pleased with his generosity and excited to share the new book with Bowring. In the process of taking the photographs for the book, there were two chil- dren out of all of the chil- dren in costume that were wearing the same exact cos- tume and had their pictures taken one after the other, McConnell said. When put- ting the memory book to- gether it was thought they were the same actor so the second one was left out of the book. He said this won't happen again, as these books are all about the chil- dren and making them feel special. The Missoula Children's Theatre has been coming to Tehama County for 15 years now, said Robert Bird, chairman of the arts coun- cil. The theater company travels around the country and in two-actor teams in red trucks with all the cos- tumes, props and scenery inside. The team comes in and holds additions and then chooses more than 50 stu- dents from kindergarten through high school to par- ticipate in the play. Some of the older students are able to learn from the experts by becoming understudies or assistants to the directors. "(The Missoula Chil- dren's Theatre) was created because of little places like this that don't have the fa- cilities or the wherewithal to generate a really pro- fessional production that kids can be involved in," Bird said. "They really are experts and it's an amaz- ing thing to watch the pro- duction and how they go through the process of get- ting the kids involved and keeping them involved and showing them what they are capable of so the pro- duction is really alive." McConnell said the team that comes each year is al- ways good at working with the children who partici- pate in the plays. The Missoula Children's Theatre will be back in Te- hama County next year.

ANNLOUELLEN"KLOOSE"McKRAY March 17, 1923 ~ May 8, 2016 Anna was born in Red Bluff to Charles Kloose and Nora Fassett. She was one of 15 children. She grew up on a farm in the Bowman area of Cottonwood. She attended the one room Bowman Elementary School and graduated from Red Bluff High School, Class of 1941. She met her husband and best friend Robert "Bob" McKray at a dance in Cottonwood. Thus became a life- long love that lasted until Bob's death in 2006. During World War II she worked as a telephone operator in Oak- land. While Bob was home on leave from the Navy they were married on March 3, 1945 in Oakland. After the war Bob went to work for PGE, traveling throughout Northern California. They had three daugh- ters, Roberta, Jennifer and Paulette. In 1951 they built a home in Cottonwood. Around 1952 daughter by love, Susie, came into their lives. Anna was a stay at home Mom, enjoying taking care of her family. She was happiest cooking, baking, sewing, gardening, and spending time with her family. In 1965 Anna and Bob moved to Redding to the house they resided in until their deaths. They enjoyed traveling to Redwood Trails on the coast and to Idaho. Anna loved to fish, whether it was surf fishing or bottom fishing at the coast or stream fishing in Idaho. She also enjoyed watch- ing and attending her grandchildren's activities, be it sports or dance recitals. Anna was very caring and giving. She always thought of others first. She opened her home to relatives and friends. She was a surrogate Grandmother to many. After a 2 + year courageous battle with cancer, Anna, 93, died peacefully at home, as was her wish, surrounded by family. Up until a week before her passing she was out tending to her yard, which was her pride and joy. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Bob, her daughter Paulette, her granddaughter Jackie Schappert, her brothers Bob, Carl, Earl (Sonny), Hollis and Carroll Kloose, and her sisters Erma Fields, Idella Cofer, Effie Douglas, Dorothy Knox, and Alice Kinkey.

My sister Lizann Smith has consented to be onhand to add beauty and competence to the proceed- ings. We will be there with half of a choice steer carcass for the PBS TV auction. I will be the one with the new suit and the receding hairline. You can't miss sister...she is a knockout! ... The white Ford came down the highway through towering pines, then slowed and turned off on to a dirt road leading to the famous 101 Ranch of Abner McKenzie's. With a borrowed lens from Harlan Clark, I zoomed in on the decal on the side of the Ford which read "Minch's Wholesale Meats". Thus started a new film about our meat plant 2 miles west of Red Bluff. Lastweekendwedrovethroughsummerrainsandrodehorses though lush pastures of sunshine and fat Hereford steers. Abner, with the help of our children Melody and Brandon, were instructed to bunch up cattle in one area of the large pasture for the film with the mountains in the background. The steers were playful as they broke and ran. "Cut 'em off!" Abner yelled and the kids slammed their heels into their horse'sflanks. Their mounts responded with a mad galloping abandon. As horses and riders flew across the green of the meadow and the blue of the sky, I felt a great exhalation and knew how great it was for all of us to be in sync...and to be alive! ... I like: The color of Firehouse #2on Jackson. The magnificent Cone & Kimball building and all the commerce it has accomplished in nearly a hundred years. The quiet residential atmosphere of upper Washington and Jefferson Streets. Coming back unburdened from the city dump which must be akin to the feelings Catholics have when they walk out of the confessional. The modest success of Frankie and Delores' little grocery store. The fragile but enduring figure of my grandmother. Having everything running smoothly at the plant. A cow having a calf just before going up the chute into the meat plant, thereby saving the life of both. The discovery of a meadow high up in the mountains. The cluck of a mother hen when she has found food for her brood. The feel of a horse under saddle which is high spirited but well reined. The awareness that you are living life to its fullest with little compromise. The looks of our down- town Main and Walnut area where the names of the businesses may change but the façade seldom does, thereby giving us a sense of history and continuance.
