Deathnotices Staff report RED BLUFF TheRedBluff Police Department issued a warning Wednesday re- garding telephone scams claiming a kidnapping had taken place. In recent days four dif- ferent incidents have been reported in the city. When the victim an- swers the phone they hear what sounds like a female screaming or asking for help in the background, according to a press re- lease issued Wednesday by the department. The subjects request money be wired to them for the release of the person they claimed to have kid- napped. None of the victims have transferred any money and there have been no kidnapped victims. A male subject with a Hispanic accent speaks after the female screams and tells the person called that he has kidnapped their daughter and de- mands money, according to the release. The male suspect directs the victim to withdraw money from their bank then drive to another location where they are directed to wire transfer the money into an account in Mexico, the release said. The suspect says he will release their daughter after the money is deposited. The man keeps the vic- tim on the phone through- out the entire incident so the victim does not have the opportunity to contact the supposed kidnap vic- tim, the release said. The subject, or subjects, appears to be operating out of Mexico. If there is a credible threat, contact the local law enforcement.

CORRECTION Error in article regarding prescription drug statistics For the winter events, the fans will be slowed down to prevent the build- ing from getting too hu- mid, Redamonti-Williams said. It will be something that will be used year- round and will assist in removing stagnant air for better air quality. The fans are very quiet and will not interfere with activities that take place in the pavilion, Redamonti- Williams said. The fans will be funded entirely by sign sponsorships. Three of the fair's big- gest events, including the Round-Up Rodeo and Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale, have agreed to prepay for their signage for the next 14 years, further assisting with the efforts to raise funds for the fans. The two fans, at either 14 or 16 feet, will be put up in the center of the pavil- ion and cost $24,000 for the pair. The committee has $15,000 in commit- ments and Redamonti-Wil- liams said she thinks the difference can be raised from the efforts to receive more sign revenue. The committee has been trying to get im- provements done to the pavilion so Fair CEO Mandy Staley can attract new and different events to the pavilion in the fu- ture, Redamonti-Wil- liams said. Signs are be- ing redone, animal facili- ties have been cleaned out and the stucco at the fa- cility has been repainted. Fairrecap The board discussed revenues from September's fair at the Oct. 18 meet- ing. This year the fair pro- duced $96,099 in revenues with $255,323 in income and $159,224 in expenses. That's about $6,000 more than last year's revenue. The fair board re- ported it was pleased with Staley's hard work in her first fair as CEO. Board member Pete Dag- orret said the fair made a decent amount of money this year and the board didn't have to spend an ex- tra $15,000 on the monster truck event and other en- tertainment events due to producing it in house. "That's huge for the profit of the fair," Dag- orret said. Fair FROM PAGE 1 in Anderson and Cotton- wood and recovered about 300 pounds of frozen food. Detectives determined the minivan, pickup and the motorcycle seen in the surveillance video are all registered to Harrison and served a search war- rant at Harrison's River- land Drive residence in south Redding, the re- lease said. During the search, de- tectives seized about 90 pounds of frozen food that matched other bulk frozen food recovered earlier that day and was subsequently identified as that stolen from the school. Harrison was not lo- cated and is still being sought for questioning concerning the thefts. Stolen property in this case has been recovered from several different indi- viduals and detectives are meeting with the Tehama County District Attorney about seeking charges against all involved. Anyone with informa- tion on the whereabouts of Harrison is asked to call the Tehama County Sher- iff's Office Detective Divi- sion at (530) 529-7920.

Wolter talked about bull- dozer operators schedules, which there are two opera- tors per dozer who alternate between working a three or a four day per week time- frame to ensure the station is covered 24-hours a day. It takes a class A license to drive. Pedersen, the unit for- ester, talked about the per- mit process for logging on private land, which Cal Fire oversees, prescribed burns and the need to manage the trees, which is part of the bark beetle problem that caused Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emer- gency in October 2014. The tree mortality is a combina- tion of the drought, which causes trees to compete for resources such as water, and the bark beetle infestation that has taken advantage of the stressed trees. At Northern California Pecans, Inc. owner Garry Vance talked about his busi- ness, which has about 3,000 pounds of pecans per acre, he said. The operation pro- cesses pecans for pretty much all of the pecan grow- ers north of Sacramento, he said. There area about 165 im- proved varieties of pecans, which means someone has taken the time to record in- formation such as where they come from and how much they yield, Vance said. A native to North Amer- ica, the pecan is a tree that requires a balancing act for growing, Vance said. A lot of people tried to talk him out of it when he wanted to grow pecans in the Corning area. The trees, which re- quire about 55 inches of rain a year, requires the biggest amount of water out of all tree crops. Surprisingly pe- cans have found a good mar- ket in China and are used as part of celebrations there. Due to them being expen- sive, they are often bought 10 nuts at a time, Vance said. At Abbey New Clair- vaux, attendees got to take a tour of the winery, but first stopped in the gift shop area to listen to the history of the property from volunteer Bill Smith. It is one of17 Trappist monasteries in the United States and has been in Vina since 1955, he said. In addition to wine, there are also walnuts and prunes on the 580 acre property, which is very much a part of California History having been owned by the likes of Peter Lassen, who received 22,000 acres as part of a Mexican land grant in 1843, Henry Gerke and Leland Stanford. It runs from the railroad track almost to the Sacramento River and was also owned at one point by Joseph Cone. One of the monks ar- rived in San Francisco with time to kill, which is when he located a pile of what ap- peared to be rubble behind the DeYoung Museum, but he would learn it was the remains of the Santa Maria De Ovila monastery from Spain. William Randolph Hearst had acquired them and shipped them in 11 freight- ers, but when the depres- sion hit he was unable to use them for their intended pur- pose and they sat behind the museum from 1930 to 1992 when after many years the monks were able to come intopossessionofthestones. The stones are being used to rebuild the chap- ter house, which has Ro- manfeaturesofnarrow win- dows and short arches to the back and a Gothic style to the front, which was all about letting natural light in through huge windows and tall arches made possible by the use of buttresses, Smith said. It is hoped the church will be completed by Sep- tember or October of 2017. Remainingstopsincluded Andersen & Sons Walnut Shelling, and a special pre- sentation by Pitter Metal Products.

Jerry Brown launched tele- vision commercials Thurs- day urging Californians to reject a ballot measure that threatens two of his so-called legacy projects, deploying his considerable political capital against a spending-control question likely to appeal to voters. The 30-second spots feature the popular Dem- ocratic governor speak- ing against Proposition 53 amid the chandeliers and glossy marble of the gover- nor's mansion. The initia- tive would force statewide votes on big state build- ing projects requiring $2 billion or more in revenue bonds. "It may sound OK, but it's bad for California," says Brown, who also lent his voice to recorded calls fighting the measure. His increased public involve- ment could signal the mea- sure's opponents are wor- ried it will pass. A nonpartisan state analysis has said Brown's proposals to spend $15.7 billion to build two giant tunnels to help haul water across the state and $64 billion on a high-speed rail system are the two projects that would most likely be affected. Brown has made defeat- ing the proposition one of his priorities for Nov. 8. That includes giving more than $4 million from his leftover campaign funds. No major public polls have been released on where the ballot question stands. Its stated goal of public input on giant proj- ects probably would reso- nate with voters, especially in a state known for a land- mark 1970s curb on prop- erty taxes, said Sherry Be- bitch Jeffe, a political sci- entist at the University of Southern California. Over his years in office, Brown has been measured in meting out personal support and unused cam- paign funds. This election season, he also has spo- ken in radio ads for an- other state priority of his, a measure on parole. Given Brown's favor- able approval rating from more than half of Califor- nians and his available campaign funds, it makes sense he would take the lead role on defeating the initiative, Jeffe said. "These projects are so importanttohim,"shesaid. Steven Maviglio, spokes- man for the campaign fighting the proposition, said the TV ads with Brown will run until Elec- tion Day, less than two weeks away. It's not clear if the late start of Brown's commer- cials will limit the im- pact. Californians have al- ready returned more than 1.8 million mail-in ballots, according to Political Data Inc., which compiles the information from county offices.
