REDDING Policearrest man who waved fake gun in traffic By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A small group of children and parents filled the Red Bluff Police Department lobby Tuesday waiting to speak to officers — to say thank you in light of recent violent attacks on law enforcement around the nation. The group, organized by Red Bluff resident Alexis LeClair, whose birthday was Tuesday, wanted to give local law en- forcement goodies and home- made cards they had worked on together on Monday. There also were cards to be delivered to the Tehama County Sheriff's Department, LeClair said. Nine children had gathered to try to make a dif- ference. Having had both good and bad experiences with law en- forcement through the years, LeClair said she wanted to do something to show support for local law enforcement and to use it as a teaching tool for her chil- dren, Sam and Avalena. "All the stuff going on right now makes my momma heart sick," LeClair said. "Our world needs more love. Honestly, it's totally selfish on my part. This makes me feel like the world might be a better place tomor- row if we teach our kids right. It's important to teach our kids to respect law enforcement, especially right now. To show them to show love to others, not hate, and to support our police." Kimberly Parodi and her husband, Luke, brought their daughter Eisley to take part in LAW ENFORCEMENT RESIDENTS THANK POLICE FOR SERVICE JULIEZEEB—DAILYNEWS Red Bluff Police Sgt. Scott Curtis is surprised to see the number of parents and children who came to drop off goodies and thank you cards at the station Tuesday as a thank you to local law enforcement. "It's important to teach our kids to respect law enforcement, especially right now. To show them to show love to others, not hate, and to support our police." — Alexis LeClair By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Discussion at the Te- hama County Board of Supervi- sors meeting Tuesday on the po- tential ballot measure regarding supervisor compensation was put off due to a few upcoming meet- ings seeking further public input. Supervisor Candy Carlson an- nounced a citizens committee would be meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Business Connec- tions, corner of Main and Pine streets, to come up with sugges- tions. Supervisor Bob Williams is holding a meeting with his con- stituents 6-8 p.m. Thursday at the Corning City Hall. A list of seven ideas presented by Chief Administrator Bill Good- win had been narrowed down at the June 21 meeting to a few in- cluding either a $500 or $1,000 increase done either annually or every other year over a specific period of time with the vote go- ing back to the people after it had reached a specific amount. The discussion was initially brought about by fears that not having an amount that was a live- able wage was keeping qualified persons from running for the po- sition, limiting the pool of candi- dates. The supervisors are the lowest paid in the state with a base sal- ary of $1,045 a month. The rate cannot be changed according to the county charter without a vote of the people. There is a $500 a month allowance for mileage, $100 a month for cell phone and laptop, a $300 a year stipend for road inspection. While some have feared that changing the article that dele- gates what the compensation is would take away the right of the people to vote on the matter, that is not the case, Goodwin said at the June 21 meeting. While some question the tim- ing of the measure since the re- cent budget report showed need for an ad-hoc committee to try to cut spending, the timing is good because it is a presidential elec- tion year, which means there will be a higher than normal turnout, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Meetingssetonsalaryissue Have a great day, Douglass Grossman GOOD MORNING U DowJonesIndustrial 18,347.67 (+120.74) U Standard & Poor's 2152.14 (+14.98) U Nasdaq 5022.82 (+34.18) BUSINESS Friendly relations among po- lice and the black community continue to erode in light of continued shootings.
