The animals were part of a meet and greet that was a partnership between the movie the- ater and Providing Essentials For Tehama Shel- ter, or PETS, a non-profit group that works to support the Tehama County Animal Care Cen- ter, said PETS President Sharon Russell. "PETS is doing this to expose theatergoers to the animals at the shelter," Russell said. "We thought it would be a perfect match for the open- ing of 'The Secret Life of Pets' to let people know that we have animals available and so did they. They actually called us and we were just thrilled." PETS Staff Reports SHASTACOUNTY A Corning man was sentenced Monday to 25 years to life in state prison Mon- day after a six-week trial at the Shasta County Courthouse stemming from a 2014 burglary and murder.

By Chip Thompson editor@redbluffdailynews.com @editorchip on Twitter RED BLUFF A portion of the southbound approach to the Jellys Ferry Bridge north of the Bend Area col- lapsed early Sunday un- der the weight of a Cal Fire truck responding to a vehi- cle crash. A 1998 GMC 2500 pickup truck driven southbound on Jellys Ferry Road around 2:40 a.m. Sunday by 18-year- old Matthew James of Red Bluff struck the right bridge railing on the portion that extends over the parking area, according to a report from the California High- way Patrol. The truck be- came airborne and struck the metal support pillar of the bridge, knocking it off its concrete footing. James was fully ejected and killed in the crash. His passenger, Charles Sorrell, 19, of Red Bluff was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Redding with major injuries. Alcohol is being considered as a factor in the crash, the release said. Cal Fire trucks respond- ing to the crash arrived shortly after 3 a.m., the re- lease said. The first truck crossed the damaged section and weakened it. When the second engine reached the section it collapsed and the truck fell nose-first to the ground, on its roof. Three Cal Fire employ- ees aboard the truck, Jason Long, 35, Josh Chastaia, 34, and Fernando Vergar, 21, all of Red Bluff, were not injured but were taken to Mercy as a precaution, the release said. The section of the ap- proach that collapsed was not over the river and no portion of the collapse landed in the river. Debris littered the parking area. Tehama County Public Works Director Gary An- tone said repairs to the col- lapsed section and the weak- ened sections on either side of it are expected to take about a month. The one-lane bridge, built in 1949, had its weight limit reduced to 10 tons in 2009. In 2015 those weight lim- its were adjusted to seven tons per truck, 11 tons per semi-truck combination and 13 tons per truck and full trailer weight. The bridge is slated for re- placement and Antone said the project is expected to be put out for bid around the first of the year and could start construction in late winter or early spring. The replacement bridge would be a three-year project and the existing bridge would remain in use during con- struction. Antone urged residents to stay away from the dam- aged portion of the bridge, but said most of the park- ing area and boat launch are safely accessible to the public. The bridge will remain closed indefinitely and area residents will need to detour south on Jellys Ferry Road or north to Cottonwood for access to Interstate 5. The cost of the repair will fall to the county, Antone said, but his agency will ap- proach Caltrans for possible assistance with funding. The replacement bridge project will be fully funded by state and federal seismic upgrade funds.
