"I wanted a coffee table sized book with pictures of the past so that those who came as a child could see the park as they remem- bered it and new visitors who didn't know the past could see it," Allen said. Tracy Salcedo Chourre was on hand to sign her hiking guides. She has been writing guides for about 25 years and Lassen was the subject of her first hik- ing guide book written af- ter she moved to California from Colorado. The book is in its second edition and since there was no GPS used the first time around, she hiked the trails again be- fore releasing it again. "I've been to a lot of parks and this one is my favor- ite," Salcedo Chourre said. "In the off-season, you often have the trails to yourself." Booths from every divi- sion within the park were open to give visitors a chance to see some of the positions that aren't as ap- parent to visitors, said Su- perintendent Steve Gib- bons. "It gives them a chance to see what we do and an opportunity for the pub- lic to ask questions," Gib- bons said. "It's also a dou- ble-whammy celebration with the Lassen Volcanic National Park centennial Aug. 9 and the National Park Service one on Aug. 25. We were formed just days before the agency." In celebration of the cen- tennial, the park is hosting a special naturalization cer- emony today and 100 peo- ple will receive their citizen- ship, Gibbons said. Saturday's events in- cluded a ribbon cutting for the new Volcano Adventure Youth Group Campground. The Lassen Park Foun- dation raised more than $480,000 in donations from individuals, companies and organizations to help make it a reality. That supple- mented some $306,000 contributed by the National Park Service to the project. Park visitors are also in- vited to try out a new road- side audio tour available for download at go.nps.gov/ lavo/audio. Lassen Park's start began officially with the May 22, 1915 major eruption of Las- sen Peak that led to the offi- cial existence of it as a park on Aug. 9, 1916. The need to protect Lassen Peak and Cinder Cone dates back to in the early 1900s and in- terest started much earlier with the work of U.S. Geo- logical Survey Scientist Jo- seph Silas Diller. There was a petition to then President Theodore Roosevelt by Las- sen and Plumas counties to make Lassen Peak and Cin- der Cone a national monu- ment as early as May 6, 1906. The eruption drew na- tional attention and helped stimulate local efforts to expand the monument that turned into the 150-square- mile national park it is to- day. It was with the help of Rep. John Raker that the park was officially estab- lished, Gibbons said. The eruption itself started with steam erup- tions in May 1914 and con- tinued for the year prior to the initial eruption on May 19, 1915, and the ma- jor eruption May 22, 1915. Whether that lasted half an hour or an hour depends on who you asked about it. While buildings were pushed off their founda- tion, none were destroyed and there were no serious injuries, Clynne said. It was through the ef- forts of Benjamin Frank- lin Loomis, a Lassen en- thusiast, amateur photog- rapher and Shingletown businessman, that many of the types of volcanoes and rocks in the park were iden- tified. Loomis is responsible for many of the well-known pictures taken during and in the days immediately fol- lowing the eruption. In the first year, there were 8,500 visitors and in 2015 that number hit 468,092. Of those, 444,000 are non-local visitors and the park is substantial stim- ulant to the local economy. "In 2015, park visitors spent an estimated $27.4 million in local gateway re- gions while visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park," Gibbons said. "These expen- ditures supported a total of 403 jobs, $10.1 million in la- bor income, $17.8 million in value added and $31.2 mil- lion in economic output in local gateway economies surrounding Lassen Volca- nic National Park."

We couldn't do this with- out out volunteers and sponsors. This is really about the community com- ing together. It's an exciting morning for the kids." Kathy Sarmiento has been volunteering with the event off and on since its second year and this year volunteered with her hus- band Juan. "It's a really cool com- munity project," Sarmiento said. "It's a meaningful way to help families in a practi- cal way that really makes a huge difference." Christina Sims of Corn- ing, who was paired up with Sarmiento for a shop- ping trip with her children Nikolai and Neveah, said she works two part-time jobs, having just started a second one last week. "It's been a struggle for me," Sims said. "Thank- fully God blessed us with this. I'm so thankful be- cause this is a big help as a single mom with a part time job. I tell my kids all the time to be thank- ful and grateful for what we have because we could have nothing." The Cuts For Kids event, in which hair styl- ists from the community donate their time to give haircuts, had 13 stylists attend, Berry said. Matilyn Szychulda, an 11-year-old Red Bluff girl who set a goal of collect- ing 100 stuffed back packs for the event, met and ex- ceeded her goal, donating 102 backpacks to the Sun- day event, said her mother Christi Szychulda. She also brought in about $320 in donations. "With all the extra money that was donated she is going to go to local schools and see if there are kids that need some back- packs," Szychulda said. "She is planning on get- ting extra backpacks for those kids." Each backpack donated by Matilyn had two single subject notebooks, a com- position book, markers, col- ored pencils, crayons, pen- cils, pens, pencil sharpen- ers, erasers, pencil grippers and some pencil cases.

Application for the non- profit program are sub- mitted in June with appli- cants, selected based upon income, to be given $100 per child at the Great Shop- ping Day.

Mair had reportedly stolen clothing from one of the residence in an attempt to conceal his identity. Mair then locked himself in another resi- dent's room and hid under the bed. Officers broke into the room and arrested Mair on multiple charges, including resisting arrest, evading a police officer, burglary, pos- session of stolen property and false identity. No one from Brookdale was injured during the in- cident. Mair's bail was set at $286,000. Cal Fire Prevention, Te- hama County Sheriff's Of- fice and California High- way Patrol Air Operations assisted in the pursuit. Pursuit FROM PAGE 1 The fire, which erupted for unknown reasons just after noon Sunday, was just 5 percent contained. Across the Mojave, offi- cials in southern Nevada issued an air quality ad- visory because of smoke from the fire more than 200 miles away. The Clark County De- partment of Air Quality said air was unhealthy for sensitive groups, in- cluding young children, senior citizens and people with respiratory problems and cardiac disease. Like some of the state's other fires this summer, the blaze burned near a popular recreation area. But Silverwood Lake's waters had been closed to swimming, fishing and boating since Aug. 4 be- cause of an algae bloom. On the central coast, meanwhile, California's biggest fire expanded to more than 94 square miles north of the scenic Big Sur region. An army of more than 5,000 firefighters and an air force of tankers and helicopters made prog- ress, however, surround- ing 45 percent of the 18-day-old blaze. Residents in the area would notice increased fire activity and smoke as firefighters set fires to burn out vegetation between the main body of the fire and prepared control lines, the fire com- mand said. Long-suffering resi- dents of the community of Palo Colorado who had been under evacuation or- ders since late July were finally being allowed to return there. Some evac- uation orders remained in place, while others were reduced to warnings. Five state parks fre- quented by tourists on the Highway 1 route between San Francisco and Los Angeles remained closed. The fire, which has de- stroyed 57 homes, dam- aged three others and led to the death of a bulldozer operator in an accident, was caused by an illegal campfire. Wildfires FROM PAGE 1 Thankyou!
