Supervisor Burt Bundy expressed concern over a recommendation by John Ward of Red Bluff involv- ing a Consumer Price In- dex increase every year. He said some might shy away from a permanent solution for the raise that did not include bringing the vote back to the people. Ward said the CPI was chosen as the most objec- tive way to not have to vote on the matter every time. Original discussion in- cluded options of $1,000 a month raise annually for three years and $500 a month raise every year for six years, Ward said. The $750 per month every year for four years was the com- promise. "Initially we voted and asked do the supervisors need a raise and everyone involved voted yes," Ward said. "We then asked if they thought it should be on the November ballot and every- one said yes. It should be an embarrassment to Tehama County that their super- visors are the lowest paid in the state and it is below minimum wage." The discussion was initi- ated by fears that not pay- ing a liveable wage was keeping qualified candi- dates from running for the position. The supervisors have a base salary of $1,045 a month, a rate that cannot be changed according to the county charter without a vote of the people. There is a $500 a month allow- ance for mileage, $100 a month for cell phone and laptop and a $300 annual stipend for road inspec- tion. At a June 21 meeting, a list of seven ideas was pre- sented by Chief Administra- tor Bill Goodwin. There is a deadline of July 26 for the board to take action on passing the ordi- nance, said County Coun- cil Arthur Wylene. While the deadline for placing an item on the ballot is in Au- gust, the ordinance must be written and the board would need to bring it to a vote twice before it could be added. The ordinance is ex- pected to be brought back to the board at the July 26 meeting. Board meet- ing agendas, minutes and streaming audio are avail- able at www.co.tehama. ca.us. Supes FROM PAGE 1 of her probation are that she is prohibited from keeping her animals or possessing any new ani- mals. When a probation search was conducted at Draper's residence, law enforcement located dogs, geese, turkeys and guinea hens, according to the summery. One of the dogs was deceased, while some of the other animals appeared to be malnour- ished, dehydrated and in poor health and living conditions. The dog that died ap- peared to be completely dehydrated, according to a Daily News article on Nov. 19, 2015. Draper admitted in No- vember that all these ani- mals were hers. Draper was arrested on November 8, 2013 af- ter Tehama County Sher- iff's investigation of on- going animal abuse or neglect at her residence. The animals there, which included four dogs, two cats, seven chicken, four horses, one goat and one sheep, were taken to the Tehama County Animal Care Center. Cruelty FROM PAGE 1 expenses with bond funds; annual performance and fi- nancial audits and that all money will stay local and cannot be taken by the state, the release states. A previous bond is- sue was passed by voters in 2002 with some of the funds being used to build the Tehama Campus on Diamond Avenue, which opened in the fall of 2009. "The college has demon- strated its sound and pru- dent fiscal management by not only spending the 2002 General Obligation bond funds in the appro- priate manner, but by ini- tiating bond refundings in 2012 and 2014 that will save taxpayers an estimated $1.6 million," Wyse said in the release. "Our continued fo- cus on solid financial man- agement and decision mak- ing has resulted in the com- munity having confidence in our ability to achieve the purposes outlined in our bond proposal, and in many cases surpass them." At the 50-year-old main campus in Redding, bond money would fund building and technology upgrades, including core technology that supports the college's online courses, Wyse said. The bond, titled the Col- lege Job Training / Veteran Support general obligation bond, would likely be di- vided into four issuances over 10-12 years, Wyse said. "The time has come for Shasta College to position itself as the premier edu- cational facility in North- ern California by focusing on educating the key talent needed to strengthen our local economy," the release states. "This bond measure is crucial to our fulfilling the mission of improving the quality of our commu- nities through education for the next 50 years." The board voted 5-0 in favor of placing the mea- sure on the ballot, Wyse said. Board members in- clude Kendall Pierson, Ray- ola Pratt, Duane Miller, Dr. Rob Lydon, Scott Swendi- man, Robert Steinacher and Rhonda Nehr. Pratt and Pierson were absent from Monday's meeting. Ballot FROM PAGE 1 CAROLYN KASTER — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS People walk on the floor before the start of the second day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, on Tuesday. By Julie Pace The Associated Press CLEVELAND United for a night, Republicans nomi- nated Donald Trump Tues- day as their presidential standard-bearer, capping the billionaire business- man's stunning takeover of the GOP and propelling him intoaNovemberfaceoffwith Democrat Hillary Clinton. "This is a movement, but we have to go all the way," Trumpsaidinvideotapedre- marks beamed into the con- vention hall. Trump's campaign hoped the formal nomination would both end the discord surging through the Repub- lican Party and overshadow theconvention'schaotickick- off, including a plagiarism charge involving Melania Trump's address on open- ing night. There were flurries of dis- sent on the convention floor as states that Trump did not winrecordedtheirvotes,but he far outdistanced his pri- mary rivals. His vice pres- idential pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was also for- mally nominated. Trump was put over the top by his home state of New York. Four of his children joined the state's delegation on the convention floor for the historic moment and ap- peared overwhelmed with emotion. "Congratulations, Dad, we love you," declared Don- ald Trump Jr. Some delegates empha- sized a need for a televised display of unity after the deeplydivisiveGOPprimary. "Unitedwestand,dividedwe fall," said Johnny McMahan, a Trump delegate from Ar- kansas. But Colorado's Kendal Unruh, a leader of the anti- Trumpforces,calledthecon- ventiona"sham"andwarned party leaders that their ef- forts to silence opposition would keep some Republi- cans on the sidelines in the fall campaign against Clin- ton. This week's four-day con- vention is Trump's highest- profile opportunity to con- vince voters that he's bet- ter suited for the presidency than Clinton, who will be nominated at next week's Democratic gathering. A pa- radeofTrump'scampaignri- vals and Republican leaders lukewarm about his nomi- nation were taking the stage Tuesday night to vouch for therealestatemogul,includ- ingHouseSpeakerPaulRyan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "I am here to tell you Hill- ary Clinton will say any- thing, do anything and be anything to get elected pres- ident," said McConnell, who was greeted by a smattering of boos as he took the stage. POLITICS Trump claims GOP nomination, says 'Go all the way' By Bill Barrow The Associated Press The United States de- picted at the Republican National Convention is a scary place. It is wrenched by economic uncertainty, social upheaval, political dysfunction, runaway im- migration, violent streets and existential threats from abroad. Republicans want voters to see the need for drastic change. The na- tion's only choice, they say, is Donald Trump. Why Republicans would paint such a bleak portrait and whether things really are as they say: What'stheproblem? GOP Chairman Reince Priebus opened the con- vention acknowledging "troubling times." Others used less measured terms. Americans live in fear, they said. The country is disrespected by the world, its military is gutted, its police are shamed. Bor- ders are porous. Terror- ism is a constant threat. Alabama Sen. Jeff Ses- sions said the U.S. suffers from "an economic disas- ter ... and the American people know it." Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst said "our al- lies see us shrinking from our place as a leader in the world." Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani pointed to "the terrorists who are killing us and our allies." He concluded: "There is no next election. ... There's no more time for us left to revive our great country." What's the reality? The United States has seen some tough times, but it is in better shape than most of the world. Americans are still much less likely to be- come victims of domestic or international terrorism than most Europeans and citizens of Middle East nations. Violent crime in the United States has dropped steadily since 1992, according to FBI statistics. In May, unemployment dipped to its lowest rate since November 2007, a year before Obama's election. The economy has grown for much of Obama's tenure. But the middle class has taken a hit. Average household in- comes are rising, but that's largely due to higher pay for the richest 10 percent of American households. Still, the United States is outperforming most of the world's advanced econ- omies. Last year, the U.S. economy grew 2.4 per- cent, compared to 0.5 per- cent in Japan, 2.2 percent in Britain and 1.7 percent in the 19 countries that share the euro currency. China, which Trump of- ten says has out-maneu- vered the U.S. on economic matters, is growing faster than the United States. But the U.S. is far richer: Economic output per per- son last year was $56,000 in the U.S. and $7,900 in China. How do Americans see it? It's a mixed answer. Though Obama's job ap- proval ratings have been positive for much of 2016, Americans are anxious. A recent Associated Press GfK-Poll found almost 4 out of 5 American vot- ers believe the country is headed in the wrong direc- tion. And there's a seem- ingly never-ending cycle of bad news: a mass shoot- ing at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida; assas- sinations of police in Ba- ton Rouge, Louisiana, and Dallas; and high-profile killings of black men by police. AP EXPLAINS Why do Republicans say sky is falling? Is it? ESTHERMAEWHALEN July 9, 1926 ~ July 9, 2016 Esther was born in Provo, Utah on July 9, 1926 to Jo- seph Manning and Jessie Pearl Woodward Manning. She spent her early years in northern Nevada as part of a Southern Pacific Railroad family. The family finally settled in northern California in Red Bluff in the 1940's. Esther worked as a soda fountain attendant at the old Tremont Hotel in Red Bluff and graduated from Red Bluff Union High School in 1944. She went on to work for Pacific Tel- ephone and Telegraph as an operator in the old Red Bluff office. There she met Robert L (Lee) Whalen after his re- turn from the US Army Air Force in China. Lee began his Career with Pacific Bell there. They were married in Sac- ramento, California in 1949, then moved to Dunsmiur, California where Lee continued his cable splicer career. In 1957, the family, now four strong, moved back to Red Bluff. Dad continued his career there, while Esther be- came involved in many activities-Jackson Heights School PTA, the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, several community char- ities and organizations. She began a long career with Wells Fargo Bank in Red Bluff, where she met and served many customers through the years. She retired from Wells Fargo when Dad retired, but was still very active in the community. She served as the chapter leader and other positions with the Sorority, the Elks Lodge 1250 Emblem Club, and spent time working the Red Bluff Roundup with Lee. Lee passed in 2006, and Mom was surrounded and sup- ported by friends and family in Red Bluff until her pass- ing on July 9, 2016-she made it to her 90th birthday! Esther joins Lee, her sisters and brothers, and her Mom and Dad and extended family in eternity. She is survived by her sons Mike (Lynette) of Winnemucca, Nevada and Tom (Pam) of Colville, Washington; Grandchildren Christa, Danny and Tommy of Washington, Kim (Utah), Rob (California), Sean (Nevada), and Katie (Idaho). She also leaves 14 great-grandchildren. The family would like to extend our deepest thanks to the staff at Brookdale Center for their love and care in Mom's final year, to the Van Ornum family for their con- tinued friendship and assistance and countless others who made Esther's life bright and enjoyable in her last years. Internment will be at the family plot in Oak Hill Ceme- tery in Red Bluff. A celebration of life will be on Friday, August 5 at 11:00 at the Red Bluff Elks Lodge.

He was a fellow real estate broker, who, I was surprised to learn, got his license as late as 1975…about the same time I got mine. He helped to form the prestigious firm of Fredson, Tully and Chapin…which was the most successful such group in town during my early years before I became partner with Dick Dopkins at Western Land & Timber Sales, Inc. I never knew (until his obituary) that his given name was Marcus. He was just plain Mickey to us, who admired him for his business acumen and his sardonic wit. However our paths seldom crossed socially because he was an avid golfer and I a tennis player. Come to think of it, golfers are more suited to convivial get- togethers via their Country Club setting… whereas tennis players have a tendency to retire home after a match and not bend elbows. Also, it is said, golfers often dress like pimps, whereas tennis is best played in whites. Mickey would have laughed at the analogy … (From my I Say column of February 1966) A sunny Sunday morning in February. The north wind has a certain bite to it, but here on the south side of our new bedroom, it is shel- tered and very enjoyable. Architect Con Davis designed this addition to our ranch style home in Antelope. It is one and a half story high with a basement below. There is a large balcony on the south side. It has been constructed by the Dobson/Massey/Rogers firm and they did a fine job. Sitting on said deck, I am the picture of the country gentleman sur- veying his vast domain. Boxer pup Buddy , is asleep at my feet while in the pasture below the horses are occupied in various pursuits. Lisa Morgan, a mare, is leaning against the fence and presumably fast sleep. The two ponies, Sky Red and Prince David, are preparing to scratch each other's neck with their teeth. Old pony Nemo is stand- ing in the sun dreaming of past glories, and my big black Saddlebred Sunset Sun, is looking for someone to play with. The mother-to-be, Star Flash Peavine, is carefully rubbing her behind against an oak tree…not worms, as Dr. Stoufer has treated her recently. Her colt is due in a month and we are all looking forward to the event. To conclude this livestock accounting, the mother and daughter goat team of Anna and Banana are hunkered down near the fence chew- ing their cud. The chickens are spread out between the house and the barn in search of food. It doesn't get much better than this. … Marriage seems to agree with Mr. Larimer. His recent column, about the future, was one of his best…witty and imaginative. Of course the whole paper reflects the urbane polish of Editor McGiffin. Nuff said.
