ByJulieZeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Poor and the Homeless — PATH — Sale House program held its annual yard sale Friday and Saturday to raise money for the Sale Ladies house, at the corner of Gilmore Ranch Road and Sale Lane. "It's our annual fund- raiser for the Sale House," said Jennifer Ragsdale, pro- gram manager. "All profit and proceeds go to help women move forward in their lives. It's the primary fundraiser for this house." The 2015 sale brought in more than $4,000 for the program, which is at capac- ity, and the hope is that the profits will far exceed that, Ragsdale said. "The money we raise goes to paying the bills and improving the house and the program," Rags- dale said. "The program serves women and chil- dren and helps the women become self-sufficient and get housing. It has a success rate of about seven out of 10 women and we have served more than 250 individuals since we opened the house in 2009." The house, which can handle up to 15 clients at a time in its six bedrooms, costs about $18,000 a year to operate, about $1,500 a month, Ragsdale said. The program gives women a safe place to stay while in transition from being homeless, which is one of the requirements of liv- ing there, and to get back on their feet and become productive members of the community while learn- ing to be self sufficient. It helps with various aspects of their lives from becom- ing clean and sober to find- ing a job or even with the reunification process for women who have had their children taken by Child Protective Services. "It's a two-year program, but the average client stays about seven months," Rags- dale said. "We always have a waiting list."

JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS Mark Livingston of Cedar Crest Brewery uses a hydrometer to measure the level of sugar in a batch of West Coast IPA he was brewing on-site on Friday in Manton. By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter MANTON What started as a hobby of home-brew- ing a few times a year has taken on a new life as Ce- dar Crest Vineyards and Winery has expanded into Cedar Crest Brew- ing, furthering its offer- ings in Red Bluff through a partnership with Enjoy The Store. "It's quite a process," said Corey Livingston, who started the winery business with her hus- band, Jim, after planting the Manton vineyard in 2007. Moving to Manton from the Santa Cruz area, the two initially bought the property in 2004 for their retirement, Livings- ton said. They found the area to be peaceful and originally started the Ce- dar Crest venture as a 600-800 cases a year win- ery. Both of her sons, Tim who lives in Portland and Mark who was liv- ing in the Redding area, have long been involved in home-brewing, Liv- ingston said. Mark said he has been making home brews for about 10 years while his brother, who got him started in it, has been brewing for 12-15 years. Mark brews the beer sold commercially. Cedar Crest Brewing, which had a soft opening around Thanksgiving 2015 before hitting the ground running a few months later, has about nine brews of which five do not yet have names, Mark said. They recipes are a collab- oration between the two brothers with trips back and forth to work on them together at times. BEER Manton winery ventures into brewing industry By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama County Groundwater Sustainability Agency that became the exclusive groundwater decision-maker after receiving ap- proval from the Department of Water Resources in February is looking for a few people to serve the county as commissioners. There are five seats still vacant in the 11-mem- ber commission made up of city and district rep- resentatives and stakeholders that will be respon- sible for all aspects of Groundwater Sustainabil- ity Plan development. Final approval authority in all matters will remain with the Tehama County Board of Supervisors through the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. Terms will be initially set so that they are evenly staggered to prevent all from expiring at the same time, however, after they have been established commissioners will serve four-year terms, said Tehama County Flood Control and Water Resource manager Ryan Teubert. The district was approved as the exclusive groundwater sustainability agency after receiv- ing letters of support from other groundwater us- ers within the 11 groundwater sub-basins within the county. Teubert presented to the groups seek- ing their support and a 90-day waiting period. The sub-basins or portions of sub-basins that will be under the agency's direction are Ante- lope, Bend, Bowman, Corning, Colusa, Dye Creek, Los Molinos, Red Bluff, Rosewood, South Battle Creek and Vina. The six already appointed members are rep- resentatives of those agencies that gave support and include Corning Public Works Director Dawn Grine, Red Bluff City Councilman Clay Parker, former Mayor Ron Warner representing Tehama, as well as Kris Lamkin of the El Camino Irriga- tion District, Martha Slack of the Rio Alto Wa- ter District and Todd Hamer of the Los Molinos Community Service District. The group met Aug. 2 and a presentation on the Sustainable Ground- water Management Act was given.
