Materials needed to recon- struct the bridge have been or- dered, said Steve Mackey, op- erations superintendent of the Tehama County Public Works De- partment. Lumber was ordered last week and is expected to ar- rive soon. The department is now wait- ing on the stringers, or long structural support beams, which should arrive next week as well, to begin construction, Mackey said.

The rezone, of which there are still two more phases to go, is a part of bringing the zoning in Tehama County into compli- ance with the changes made by the 2009 Tehama County Gen- eral Plan. Much of the discussion, which lasted three hours at a July 21 Planning Commission meeting, had to do with why certain prop- erties were pulled out of the orig- inal Phase II rezone and put into two separate groupings of Phase 2.5 and Phase III. "There were three main topics at the July 21 planning commis- sion,"interimPlanningDirectorJim Wildauer said. "The first was why 150 parcels were pulled out and put into Phase 2.5 and Phase III and not with the 4,000 in Phase II." The general plan rezone re- quires evaluation any time ag- riculturally zoned property is changed into any other zoning and a scoring matrix was created to decide which properties needed further evaluation regarding the impacts of the rezone, Wildauer said.

JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS Staff report MINERAL Lassen Volcanic National Park marks its cen- tennial starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6 with a rib- bon cutting and tours of the new Volcano Adventure Camp youth group campground and the Day in the Park Festival at Manzanita Lake, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volcano Adventure Camp replaces the former Crags Campground with tent cab- ins, picnic shelters, rest- rooms, showers and fire rings designed specifically to ac- commodate youth groups. "Kids now have a place all their own to experience Las- sen Volcanic with one an- other and their leaders, while learning how the park's geol- ogy, wildlife, plant life and ecology fit into our natural world," said Park Superin- tendent Steve Gibbons. "It's fitting that we commemorate Lassen Volcanic's 100th year as a national park with the dedication of Volcano Adven- ture Camp, as our anniver- sary isn't so much about the past as it is about the future. It is a future that will be in- fluenced by children whose lives will be equally influ- enced and shaped from what they experience at the new campground." To assist the national park in developing Volcano Adven- ture Camp, the Lassen Park Foundation raised more than $480,000 in donations from private individuals, compa- nies and organizations. That supplemented some $306,000 contributed by the National Park Service to the project. "This is another example of Northern Californians com- ing together to do something great for their kids and their local national park," said Bob Warren who chaired the Vol- cano Adventure Camp com- mittee for the foundation.

U.S. District Court Judge Thel- ton Henderson issued the order without explanation late in the day, hours after the U.S. Attorney's Office requested it in a court filing. Prosecutors also offered no ex- planation for their surprising de- cision to seek a lower fine against PG&E after more than a month of testimony at trial and four days into jury deliberations.
