Kayakers FROM PAGE 1 ols' mother, which told of how the murder had for- ever changed life for her, her husband, her son Cur- tis and her daughter Sarah. She wrote of things the family will miss such as walking Marysa down the aisle or being in the deliv- ery room for the birth of her children. Marysa was the type of child who, when seeing her siblings bullied, would step in, the statement said. "I had no idea when I dropped her off that I'd never see her again, never hold her, take her shop- ping or take pictures," Whitmire said. "Next year, Curtis will be a senior and Sarah begins high school, but she will forever remain 14 years old." Tehama County Deputy District Attorney Donna Daly asked that the four previous felonies Bealer had been convicted of be considered in the sentenc- ing as well as the fact that the crime involved great vi- olence, viciousness and cal- lousness, pointing out that strangulation according to the pathologist at trial took a few minutes and at any point could have been stopped and Marysa would still have been alive. The victim, at 110 pounds and 14 years old, was particularly vulnera- ble, Daly said. There are factors, such as Bealer hav- ing his hood down by the high school but pulled up near the crime scene as if to hide his identity, that show planning. The de- fendant lied repeatedly to law enforcement and even his own parents, and did not admit his guilt. She recommended he be given the maximum of 25 years to life. Bealer asked to address the court. "First I'd like to tell the victim's family I'm sorry for your loss," Bealer said. "I was found guilty of first degree murder, but just be- cause I was found guilty does not mean I did it. I have feeling and I had the guts to walk into the police department and say it was me on the video." Bealer admitted he lied to law enforcement and said due to his criminal background he did not like and nor trust law enforce- ment. The only thing he is guilty of is lying to law en- forcement, he said. Bealer questioned shoe prints not matching his in the area and no signs of struggle where the body was found. He ended his statement thanking Oros for a more fair trial than he would have received in Tehama County and stated the truth will come out. Oros ended with a state- ment of his own clarifying that while Whitmire asked for life without parole, un- der the law he could only impose a sentence of 25 years to life. "It is apparent to me that the tragic circumstance that brought us here to- day significantly affected the community beyond the loss of one family," Oros said. "It is a ripple that traveled through the com- munity and there's little I can do to heal the wound. Only time, and hopefully the finality of what we do today, can help. You can't make sense out of a sense- less act." Oros said he hoped the family could find peace and the community would heal. He asked the com- munity to support both Marysa's family and Bealer in whatever manner they could. In addition to the sen- tence of 25 years to life in state prison, Bealer was or- dered to pay restitution to the family in the amount of $5,081. He was given credit for 1,225 days served. Any appeal would have to be filed by written no- tice within 60 days, Oros said. Bealer was remanded to the Tehama County Jail to be transferred over to the California Department of Corrections and Reha- bilitation. Bealer FROM PAGE 1 Retired Shasta College Trustee Harold Lucas told Phillips he was interested in putting his artwork at the Tehama Campus after seeing Phillips' work at the main campus. From there the idea was proposed to the directors and approved shortly thereafter. Lucas said the pillars will give the campus its own unique character and are distinctive and artistically appealing. The pillars were made possible by funding from the McConnell Fund through the Shasta Re- gional Community Foun- dation, received from the Shasta College Founda- tion. The college applied for the grant and received funding for this proj- ect and others, includ- ing bench work and sign upgrades. The grant pro- vided funding for materi- als and for rental equip- ment. Phillips donated his art and labor because he said he wanted to create some- thing artistic for the cam- pus he had worked on in his career. He said the campus seemed like it was calling out for a beautiful sculp- ture.

The suspect was wear- ing sunglasses, boots, a hat and appeared to be wearing clothingsimilartotheguard, as if he were "trying to copy what the Brinks guys wear," she said — but he had a sur- gical mask over his face. "A lady was at the ATM when the robber came and she heard him say to drop the money and obviously he dropped it. The robber shot first," she said. "When I heard the shots fired, I ran to the back."

April 1, 1933 ~ June 27, 2016 Emerson Lowell Schenck, Jr., 83, passed away at his home in Red Bluff, CA on June 27, 2016. Born in Keokuk, IA on April 1, 1933, Emerson moved frequently throughout his childhood before serving with the Air Force during the Korean War. Having become proficient in the use and maintenance of radar technologies, Emer- son's abilities, private airplane, and sense of adventure led him as a young man to pursue a succession of posi- tions with government, space, and marine contractors in Alaska, the northeast US, the Bahamas and finally Califor- nia where he met Rosalind. They married on May 14, 1960, and lived in Southern California and Las Vegas NV before Emerson moved his family to northern California in 1970. He took a position at the Federal Aviation Ad- ministration's Red Bluff Radar Base, where he continued to work until his retirement in 1988. Skilled in all things electrical and mechanical, Emerson was an early advocate of home computing and spent oth- er free time woodworking, renovating his home, restoring vintage vehicles, and watching 49'ers football. Under- standing and appreciating the value of education and service, Emerson had been elected to the Board of Trust- ees for the Antelope School District and for many years was a dedicated parent-leader with local 4-H programs and a frequent volunteer at Mercy High School events. Emerson is survived by his wife, Rosalind; four sons, Emerson III, Lee, Vince, and Alex; and seven Grandchil- dren, and eight Great-Grandchildren. He was preceded in death by an infant daughter Elizabeth. Memorial services will be held at Sacred Heart Church in Red Bluff CA, on Tuesday, July 12th, 2016. A Rosary will be said at 9:30am followed by a Funeral Mass at 10:00am and internment to follow. In lieu of flowers, Me- morial donations may be made in Emerson's name to Sa- cred Heart School in Red Bluff CA. JANET MARYLYN TURNER January 18, 1932 ~ July 7, 2016 JANET MARYLYN TURNER was born January 18, 1932 and passed on July 7, 2016. She was much beloved, and as much an institution in Red Bluff as was Zuckwielers, the William B. Ide Adobe, and Clarke's Drug Store. She had many last names, and lived in four different homes, on Palermo Avenue, Kimball Road, Johnson Street, and Franzel Road. She was once a waitress at what was Bur- ton's Coffee Shop at Main and Oak then became its book- keeper. She was always a math whiz and parlayed her intelligence into degrees in Business Administration from Chico State, all while balancing a houseful of kids, some her own, others by marriage and friendship. Beginning as an administrator at the Cedars Convalescent Home, she rose to prominence in the nationwide Nursing Home As- sociation, travelling the country as one of the industries main players. For a brief time, her duties forced a move to Columbus, Ohio. But Columbus, OH is no Red Bluff so she returned along with her husband Rudy Turner to the town she loved as her home. She touched the lives of many peo- ple in Red Bluff, one of the reasons her children were never able to convince her to move away. Her house, her friends, her 'fancy work', and the special town on the river was her home and that was that. She was known to discipline her kids using words like 'horsefeathers', 'fid- dlesticks', 'baloneysauce' and, when necessary, pulling a wooden spoon out of the kitchen drawer. She is survived by four children – Sandra, Larry, Tom and Jim – and Lynn and Lorie, twin girls who spent many years in her care, Jim and Joe, whose lives where changed under her roof, eleven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, Janet loved the State Theater and would be happy to know of your contributions to Red Bluff's iconic concert hall and cinema.
