There is a deadline of July 26 for the board to take action on passing the ordi- nance, said County Council Arthur Wylene. While the Tehama County deadline for placing something on the ballot is in August, the ordinance must be written and the board would need to bring it to a vote twice before it could be officially added. Meetings FROM PAGE 1 A Cal Fire engine re- sponding to the crash fell through a weakened por- tion of the bridge on the north end over the park- ing area. Three firefighters were taken to the hospital as a precaution. The one-lane bridge, built in 1949, had its weight limit reduced in 2009 and adjusted again in 2015 to 17 tons per truck, 27 tons per semi-truck combina- tion and 32 tons per truck and full trailer weight, Pub- lic Works Director Gary An- tone said Tuesday. While information has been circulated that the bridge was unsafe for the weight of the fire engine, that is false, Antone said. The collapse was a result of damage from the initial crash. During the crash, the pickup became airborne and struck the metal sup- port pillar of the bridge, knocking it off its concrete footing. The section was fur- ther damaged by the first engine on scene and the responding law enforce- ment units, who did not have time to warn the sec- ond engine on scene of the compromised integ- rity of the bridge, said Cal Fire Assistant Chief Matt Chamblin. He thanked the community for its outpour- ing of support for the de- partment and the three men, Jason Long, 35, Josh Chastaia, 34, and Fer- nando Vergar, 21, all of Red Bluff, who were injured in the crash. The section of the ap- proach that collapsed was not over the river and no portion of the collapse landed in the river, Antone said. The fact the damage is on the land side will help speed repairs. Repairs to the collapsed section and the weakened sections on either side of it, which run about 60- 70 feet long, are expected to take about a month to 45 days, Antone said. The cost is expected to be about $332,000. There is some chance funding could be used from the state and fed- eral funding previously set aside to replace the bridge. If it is not possible to use the funding for the bridge replacement, there are other options including uti- lizing the roads fund. The bridge replacement 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, An- tone said. During the three- year replacement project, the existing bridge would remain in use. 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 de- tour south on Jellys Ferry Road or north to Cotton- wood for access to Inter- state 5. Seth Lawrence who lives in the area of Saron Fruit Colony Road was at Tues- day's meeting asking that the supervisors do their best to see the bridge re- paired as soon as possi- ble as it affects 300 to 400 acres of agricultural prod- ucts and at school time nine school-aged children who will see an extra hour added onto their daily com- mute. "It has driven the agri- cultural production up as we can't even bring empty trucks across that bridge," Lawrence said. Lawrence thanked Pub- lic Works for its rapid re- sponse and quickly work- ing to get the bridge re- paired. Inquiries regarding the bridge and project can be made by calling Tehama County Public Works at 385-1462 or visiting www. tehamacountypublicworks. ca.gov/.

Sgt. Scott Curtis was the first to come through the door to greet the group and he did not expect quite so many people when he was told there was a group wait- ing, he said. "It means everything to us," Curtis said. "Stuff like this makes nothing else matter the rest of the day. It makes our hearts happy, especially to see the lit- tle ones. We really appre- ciate it. Our contact (with the community) is not al- ways positive so the more the better, especially in the times of today with the tur- moil. Support from the pub- lic is crucial." The department appre- ciates the love and support it has received in the days following the recent shoot- ing of Dallas Police officers, said Chief Kyle Sanders. "In light of what has oc- curred in recent days with law enforcement person- nel across our country, we here locally have been seeing an increase of vo- calized support," Sanders said. "We have received cards, a local business sent us an arrangement of pa- triotic flowers, and today we were delivered good- ies by several young chil- dren and their parents. We are very fortunate to live in an area where it is not uncommon for people to thank us for our service and we are grateful each time. This kind of commu- nity support is refreshing and helps our personnel recognize that Red Bluff is home to some really great people who truly do appre- ciate our efforts. We strive to provide the best service we can to our community and the outpouring of sup- port certainly helps moti- vate us to continue our ef- forts."

MARCUS MARVIN "MICKEY" CHAPIN IV April 16, 1939 ~ July 9, 2016 Mickey passed away with his family at his side on July 9, 2016 from congestive heart failure and other medical is- sues. Mickey was born on April 16, 1939 in Red Bluff, Califor- nia to Marcus Marvin Chapin III and Maude Alice "Peggy" Fitzgerald. He attended local schools and graduated from Red Bluff High School in 1957. He was a three sport ath- lete. His two favorite sports were basketball and baseball. After high school he attended Monterey Peninsula Junior College where he also played basketball and baseball. After college, Mickey enlisted in the military, serving in the US Army from 1961-1965. While in the Army he went to Army Security Agency School in Boston, MA. After- wards, he was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC, Homestead, FL and Petaluma, CA. While stationed in Florida, his duties were to intercept codes between Russia and Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. These codes were being carried by Russian trawlers that were carrying missiles to Cuba. Once his duties were completed, he moved back to Red Bluff. He worked at Diamond International and Rainbo Bread Co. as a route salesman. He then earned his real estate license in 1975 and later became a broker. He had many hobbies. They included fishing, hunting, bowling, shooting pool, snow skiing, water skiing, bas- ketball, softball and especially golf. Golf was his obses- sion. He is survived by his daughter, Cathy Chapin of Sacra- mento. He is also survived by his son, Chris and wife Mi- chelle of Red Bluff, as well as his granddaughter Cassie of Portland, OR and grandson Jordan of Chico.

Well, there is actually no project at present…just a lot of talk between the Editor and myself about the town's need for some such venture. The practical, reasonable Chamber of Commerce concept would be a civic auditorium for conventions, meetings, square dancing and, incidentally, music and drama. My suggestion, probably implausible , would be to find investors who would buy the old 3 story Victorian at 1111 Washington…the former Leo McCoy house built in 1901, and we alter the interior for a theatre in the round that could be used for the art and foreign film set, community concerts, local Little Theatre Groups, John Birch advocates or other story tellers. Or, it could be an awful flop and run up a monstrous debt. Perhaps we should forget the whole thing. … A clipping from the SF Chron states that a Dr. Stanke of Phoenix has decided that the old remedy for snake bite, a shot of booze, may be alright after all…he suggests scotch and vodka. I should mention that he is the father-in -law of Dr. Bill Martin of our fair city. Was Bill a guinea pig for this experiment? I think not. Neither Dr. Bill or yours truly enjoy the company of snakes. Nosiree, Bob! … Speaking of doctors, Melody, age 12, was in the kitchen putting away dishes when she accidentally hit a corner of the drain board, dr opped the dishes and glassware, and made a scalping cut on her upper leg that even a lumberjack would not want to witness. I gave Dr. Hugh Merhoff a call. It was evening and he was home house painting. However, he beat us to the clinic as we staggered in at 9pm. One hour and 50 stitches later the wound was closed and we were all smiling and marveling at the quick service. If you don't want any time to call your own, but enjoy having people eyeing you with total respect, become a doctor. … Art Cabanag, our man atthe meat plant in charge of making corned beef, told me that he estimates he put up about 70 thousand pieces of same in Cryovac bags last year. The packages weigh between 2 and 4 pounds and are going fast at your local market. … On the opposite side of the above saved column was a notice that one George V. Yost , secretary of the Northern California Conference of Seventh Day Adventists, will be the guest speaker at the Adven- tists Church Saturday at the 11 o'clock service. Adventists have his- torically abstained from both alcohol and tobacco. They argue that tobacco is a slow, insidious poison, and its effects are more difficult to cleanse from the system than those of alcohol. Free How To Stop Smoking literature will be available.
