The vehicle fire, which was located between the rest area and Jellys Ferry Road, did not spread into vegetation and was contained at 1:03 p.m., a Cal Fire spokesman said. The involved vehicle was a white Chevy Malibu. There were no injuries to the parties inside the vehicle and the cause is under investiga- tion. According to the California Highway Patrol website, the fire completely burned the front half of the vehicle and the right lane was shut down at 12:45 p.m. starting at the entrance to the rest area. It was re-opened at 1:18 p.m. Nothing further was available as of 5:30 p.m. Scanner reports of a four-ve- hicle collision requiring extrica- tion were received around 5:30 p.m. Friday.

The case is under in- vestigation by the Tehama County Coroner's Office. Body FROM PAGE 1 ment represents a signifi- cant accomplishment by a government and its man- agement, according to the meeting's agenda report by City Manager Richard Crabtree, which praised Finance Director Sandy Ryan. "This is a testament to how well Sandy has done," Councilman Rob Schmid said. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achieve- ment, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Fi- nancial Report, according to the report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting prin- ciples and applicable legal requirements. The award of Financial Reporting Achievement was awarded for prepar- ing the award-winning re- port and was presented to Ryan for her excellence in preparing the reports each year. Councilwoman Daniele Jackson presented the cer- tificate to Ryan and said it was amazing the city had won this award. "It was all due to San- dy's hard work," Jackson said. The award was estab- lished in 1945 to encour- age and assist state and local government to go beyond the minimum requirements of gener- ally accepted accounting principles to prepare for annual financial reports, according to the GFOA website. Reports submit- ted to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report program are reviewed by selected members of the association's professional staff and Special Review Committee, which com- prises individuals with expertise in public sector financial reporting and includes financial state- ment preparers, indepen- dent auditors, academics and other finance profes- sionals. Council members and the audience clapped as Ryan said next will be to apply for the Certificate of Excellence for the city's budget reporting.

Of the $6.3 mil- lion, there is about $4 mil- lion in construction and for escalationofcostsand$1.75 millionforfees,fixturesand equipment. The building and lot were purchased for $500,000. A virtual tour of the planned facility can be viewed at https:// w w w.y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=80b6704O4Kk. An entry plaza will be constructed in the front of the building and eventually an outdoor learning quad that can be utilized by the community.Themetalpan- els on the outside would be an area that could poten- tially be utilized for fun- draising as they could be changed out periodically if the cost to do so were do- nated. They also create an area to celebrate the his- tory of the county, some- thing the inside of the building will do through the use of barn wood from the former Riverside Bar and Grill. A blue river design run- ning through the middle of the building along the floor is meant to represent the importance of the Sac- ramento River to the area. The proximity to the Shasta College Tehama Campus allows the poten- tial for the college to utilize the facility, particularly the communitymeetingrooms. Those rooms could be used as a potential source of rev- enue,accordingtoJKArchi- tecture Partnership Presi- dent Jordan Knighton. The interior of the build- ing will see a service desk down the center so employ- ees have a direct site line with the entrance and each section to allow staff to en- gage with all areas of the li- brary. There will be plenty of chances for naming rights in the building, including an area for storytelling, a children's area and a sec- tion for a study center and meeting rooms.

The Friends of the Li- brary has kicked off the fundraising campaign and information on upcom- ing events will be posted as it becomes available on www.tehamacountylibrary. org and its Facebook page. So far about $845,000 has been raised by the commu- nity through fundraisers and donations.

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Immigra- tion agents have arrested 112 people in a four-day sweep in Southern Califor- nia aimed at deporting ex- convicts from other coun- tries. Immigration and Cus- toms Enforcement made the arrests in Los Angeles and other counties in an oper- ation that ended Thursday. Those with deportation or- ders could return to their countries immediately, while the rest will go before an immigration judge. Many of those arrested had been released from jail under a 2014 state law that prevents local law enforce- ment agencies from hold- ing immigrants convicted of lesser crimes once they serve their sentences, ICE Deputy Field Director Da- vid Marin told the Los An- geles Times (http://lat. ms/2aec4d9 ). In some cases, immigra- tion officials take custody of convicts upon their release from jails in California. In others, the convicts are re- leased into the community and immigration agents go out to re-arrest them, as they did this week. "My greatest fear, and what keeps me up at night other than keeping these officers safe, is that we will not be able to get to these individuals in time," Marin told the Press- Enterprise (http://bit. ly/29ScLXx). "Is that per- son going to commit some other crime?" Some of those arrested this week were in the coun- try legally. Criminal con- victions can cause immi- grants to lose their legal status. Eighty-nine of those ar- rested were from Mexico, according to ICE. One was 46-year-old convicted sex offender Car- los David Martin Ojeda. Ojeda, who has no legal status, spent two years in prison and was rearrested at his Chino mobile home early Tuesday, the Press-En- terprise reported. Authorities also arrested a Tongan man convicted of assault with a deadly weapon and a Salvadoran man with burglary and DUI convictions, accord- ing to ICE.

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A strong high-pressure system over the nation's midsection built westward into Cali- fornia on Friday, baking in- land areas of the southern counties in dry, triple-digit heat while raising wildfire danger in the parched re- gion. Day-to-day warming was expected to spread similar highs up the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys during the weekend, fore- casters said. Readings of 100-plus de- grees stretched from the in- terior of Los Angeles County eastward through the in- land counties to the Colo- rado River, where the Inter- state 40 town of Needles siz- zled at 115 degrees by 1 p.m. Overall, the day's temper- atures were expected to be 10 to 15 degrees above nor- mal for the season. "The hot conditions will result in an increased risk of heat-related illnesses, especially for the homeless, the elderly, infants, outdoor workers and those partici- pating in outdoor activi- ties," the National Weather Service said. Some Southern Califor- nia beaches simmered in the 80s. Forecasters issued warn- ings until midnight for fire danger across the moun- tains of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, and the Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys north of Los An- geles due to low humidity and gusty north to north- west winds. Fire danger warnings were to extend until mid- night Saturday on the south coast of Santa Bar- bara County. The area's in- famous "sundowner" winds have often been involved in the dangerous spread of wildfires, sweeping down from the Santa Ynez Moun- tains to the populated south coast. Gusts in the 45 mph to 55 mph range were pre- dicted. The largest fire burn- ing in Southern California was in northern San Di- ego County, where flames had scorched more than 3 square miles on the Ma- rine Corps' sprawling Camp Pendleton. The fire was not threatening personnel or structures. HIGH-PRESSURE SYSTEM Summer heat wave building in California According to the California Highway Patrol website, the fire completely burned the front half of the vehicle and the right lane was shut down at 12:45 p.m. starting at the entrance to the rest area. It was re-opened at 1:18 p.m. The collision was in the south- bound lanes of I-5 near Sunset Hills. The CHP website listed a sin- gle vehicle that had a tire blow- out and rolled, coming to rest on its roof on the Sunset Hills off ramp. The driver needed to be extricated from that vehicle and was transported to Mercy Medi- cal Center in Redding. No further information was available as of 6 p.m. Friday.
