Staffreport RED BLUFF Four people were arrested Thursday during a probation sweep prompted by increased crime recently. Due to a rash of home and vehicle burglaries in the Red Bluff area, officers from the Red Bluff Police Department, the Tehama County Sheriff's Office, Dis- trict Attorney's Bureau of Investigations and the Te- hama County Probation De- partment conducted proba- tion and AB109 compliance checks at several Red Bluff area residences, said a press release issued Thursday morning by the Red Bluff Police Department. The sweep yielded four arrests for stolen and ille- gally possessed firearms and arrest warrants. Daniel Marshall, 37, of Red Bluff was arrested for felon in possession of a fire- arm and ammunition and possession of stolen prop- erty.

The council voted unan- imously to approve the res- olution. Water FROM PAGE 1 The expansion means there will be a safe place at 3 a.m. for domestic vio- lence victims to go, a place for them to receive coun- seling and legal advice, or just encouragement, Greer said. "It's a huge step in the right direction and we ap- preciate the city of Red Bluff and their partnership," Greer said. "To all of you at ATV, without you this would all be useless. It's an amaz- ing task being undertaken and with it we will be able to continue to provide ser- vices." The group will be work- ing with Tehama County Community Action Agency, PATH and Mental Health in a coalition to break down barriers in finding afford- able housing for county res- idents. "Domestic violence is the No. 1 cause of homelessness for women and children," Spurr said. The project in its entirety is expected to cost about $3.2 million including the purchase of land and was paid for through grant fund- ing from Housing and Com- munity Development as well as a Red Bluff Community Block Development Grant, Spurr said. "The only cost still needed will be operational costs and furnishing," Spurr said. "We try to live within our means." Alternatives to Violence is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon- day through Friday at its Business Center, 1805 Wal- nut St. There is also a 24- hour number for domestic violence victims who can call 528-0226 or toll free 1-800-324-6473. More in- formation on ATV is avail- able at www.atvrb.org.

Take time to v i s i t w w w . f a t h e r h o o d . g o v has heard circulating that he is in favor of sending wa- ter south, saying it is not all water but only that which would otherwise have been dumped or wasted, he said. He spoke to those with se- nior water rights being told water would not be distrib- uted until June 1 so that wa- ter would be kept colder for fish and the impact on ag- riculture. "Ag is so important to this area and everyone that wants to eat," LaMalfa said. The drought years al- ready had a huge impact on agriculture, especially in the central valley where a few years ago there was massive unemployment with about 40 percent un- employed, he said. LaMalfa said he wants to see consolidation of agencies, renewable energy to include biomass and to prevent fires by better for- est management. One man in attendance said there is too much fed- eral government and for the forest management there are as many as nine elected officials who have an agenda and are not ac- countable to the people. Another man agreed, but said there was too much bureaucracy not necessar- ily too much government. He questioned the need for things like the Depart- ment of Homeland Security, which is a duplicate of local law enforcement, the De- partment of Fish and Wild- life, Environmental Protec- tion Agency and other agen- cies. Salvage and replanting of dead tree areas, if done right way, could bring money instead of leaving them to become a "tinder box." Others questioned why hydro-electric plants are not counted as a renewable energy source if the plant is too big and why biomass is not utilized more. One woman said she also was just fed up with govern- ment. LaMalfa encouraged at- tendees to take that an- ger and turn it into energy to get out the vote. He as- signed homework by asking those present to ask Sena- tors Barbara Boxer and Di- anne Feinstein why two re- cent bills, one by Rep. Bruce Waterman of Arkansas on forestry and one by Rep. Tim Murphy of Pennsylva- nia on mental health fund- ing, were not passed. LaMalfa FROM PAGE 1 LaMalfa encouraged attendees to take that anger and turn it into energy to get out the vote.

April 22, 1929 ~ June 30, 2016 Edwin Jacob Stroman Jr., 87, passed away with his fami- ly by his side on June 30, 2016. Ed suffered from demen- tia and Alzheimer's for the last several years and succum- bed to complications of the disease. He has been a resi- dent at the Brookdale Assisted Living Facility for 6 1/2 years- where he received excellent care, particularly in his final days. He was born April 22, 1929 in Harrisburg, PA., born to Edwin Jacob Stroman and Ethel (Mann) Stroman. Ed mar- ried Janet Mae (Cannon) March 29, 1952. They met at Mare Island, while he was in the Navy (1948-1952) and Janet in the Air Force. After a 2-week courtship, they wed in Elko, Nevada. Initially, after graduating from high school, in Harris- burg, he moved to Washington DC and took a job with the FBI. He then enlisted in the Navy where he was a Morse Code operator on the USS Skagit and the USS Cav- alier during the Korean War. After leaving the Navy, he returned to the Bureau in D.C. He enrolled at American University and worked his way through school. He received his bachelor's degree in political science, with a minor in police administration. In 1957, he continued with the FBI – eventually transferring to San Francisco. He made a career change in 1960, join- ing a young and upcoming police department in Fremont, CA. He retired as a lieutenant from Fremont PD in 1985. Ed and family made their home in the Irvington District of Fremont, 1960-1991. Ed & Jan moved to Red Bluff in 1991, where they en- joyed the "country life" and their many new friends. In addition, they traveled to many places with their Airstream group, including China. Ed lost his best friend and beloved wife of 50 years, Jan, in 2002. Ed was a Mason, Shriner and member of the Sons of the American Revolution. He belonged to Sunol Valley Golf Club when living in Fremont and Wilcox Oaks Golf Club, from 1992-2003. He was a nature lover and lifelong golfer, thoroughly enjoying the camaraderie of the people and the game. However, his number one passion was his family, particu- larly his grandchildren and their sports participation. He is survived by his son, Edwin Jacob Stroman III, and his wife Karla; Granddaughter, Aubrie Thomas, her hus- band Luke and their daughters Quinn and Reagan; Grandson Jacob Stroman; Granddaughter Ashton Kinyon, her husband Ryan, and their daughter Emrie. He is also survived by his daughter Debbie Stroman Clark, and her husband Steve; Granddaughter Stacie An- dersen, her husband Erik and their son Michael and daughter MacKenzie; Granddaughter Leslie Clark and her daughter Layla. A friend wrote this about our father: "I respected your father greatly. He helped so many that knew him. His frank honesty kept us in line when our youthfulness led us down the wrong path. He wasn't afraid to tell it like it was, which is so rare these days. He was a man whose values of hard work, honesty, stick-to-it-iveness, no ex- cuses, discipline and loyalty (to name a few) created the potential for you to be the best!" There will be a memorial service on August 5, 2016, in the gymnasium of Tehama Family Fitness Center (10:00 am). This will be followed by a burial at the Northern California Veteran's Cemetery in Igo (12:30 pm). The Fre- mont Police Honor Guard will take part in the ceremony. Ed had a lifelong love of dogs and a special interest in military and police K-9s. A donation in his honor, made to the Red Bluff Police K-9 Program, would make him es- pecially proud.
