ByJulieZeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Following two sepa- rate meetings with residents, the Tehama County Board of Super- visors voted Tuesday 3-2 to create a ballot measure regarding super- visor compensation. The proposed ordinance is for a $750 per month — $9,000 annu- ally — increase instituted annu- ally over the next four years. The supervisors earn $12,540 annu- ally, the lowest in the state. Af- ter four years the salary would be $48,540. Supervisors Dennis Garton and Steve Chamblin voted against the proposed ballot measure citing concern that the timing, partic- ularly in light of asking depart- ments to cut budgets, was not right. Supervisor Bob Williams said he respected Garton and Chamb- lin wanting to wait but the board TEHAMA COUNTY Supesvoteon ba ll ot m ea su re regarding salary By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF A Rancho Tehama woman charged with 12 counts of cruelty to an animal is sched- uled to be sentenced Aug. 8 at the Tehama County Superior Courthouse after pleading no contest before her scheduled trial-by-court hearing Thursday. The hearing was originally scheduled to be 9 a.m. June 2 for Roberta Draper, who was 57 when arrested Nov. 17, 2015, and at that time a plea was not en- tered by Draper. A new trial-by-court hearing was then scheduled for July 14, but was vacated because Draper had, in that time, pled no con- test to four counts of cruelty to an animal. The eight other counts of were dismissed. Draper is on probation in a prior multi-count cruelty to an animal case, according to the Tehama County District Attor- ney's case summary. The terms COURT Woman to be sentenced in animal cruelty case By Chip Thompson editor@redbluffdailynews.com @editorchip on Twitter REDDING The Shasta College Board of Trustees voted Monday night to place a $139 million bond measure on the Nov. 8 ballot. The bond, which will go before voters in Tehama, Shasta, Trin- ity, Lassen, Humboldt and Modoc counties, would fund a regional training facility for fire, law en- forcement and emergency medi- cal personnel students, establish a center dedicated to assisting mili- tary and veterans and create a ca- reer technology facility. Shasta College Superintendent and President Joe Wyse said in a telephone interview Tuesday the bond would cost taxpayers about $19 per $100,000 of assessed property value annually. The bond proposal comes in response to community demand for more educational opportuni- ties in the North State, in order to increase living wage employment. "In connecting with commu- nity members including students, teachers, veterans, business own- ers and public agencies, we have heard time and again that the strength of our region is directly related to the educational oppor- tunities available in our commu- nity," Wyse said in a press release. "This bond will allow Shasta College to provide the facilities needed for the state-of-the-art ed- ucation and training our students must have to obtain living wage jobs and transfer to four-year col- leges and universities in their pur- suit of higher education, particu- larly in the STEM fields." Wyse said the Tehama Cam- pus could see a Student Services building, additional classrooms and veterans support services and an expanded or second science lab, as the single lab at the cam- pus limits the number of physical science offerings. Some of the bond money could be used to acquire land, most likely at the extension campuses in Red Bluff, Burney and Weaver- ville, where there is the greatest potential for expansion over the next 50 years, Wyse said. None of the bond money would be used for salaries.

With Sheriff's K-9 Booker and his handler Ryan Franks on hand, Darling donated a painting of the dog, valued at $900, to Sheriff Dave Hen- cratt along with her words of gratitude. The painting will be on display at the sheriff's office. "For the past two years, it has been laid on my heart to give back (through art)," Darling said. "Law enforce- ment does so much for us and they need to be recog- nized more. This is to let you know they are appreciated." In addition to the paint- ing, Darling presented Franks with a photo, a min- iature version of his dog, adding that she wants the Sheriff's Department to know it is appreciated not just by her, but by the com- munity. Darling, a Corning resi- dent and pastel artist, has been involved with art since the age of 14, painting land- scapes in oil and water color, according to the staff report attached to the agenda item. She began working with pas- tels, which is the medium for the painting donated Tues- day, in 2012 after being in- troduced to them by fellow artist Joann Graham. Portraits of people and an- imals are Darling's specialty.
