Sherri Papani was found before dawn Thursday along Interstate 5 near Sac- ramento. Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko says Sherri Papani flagged down a passing motorist despite her hands being bound. Responding California Highway Patrol officers reported that she was chained to a heavy object, but authorities have not elaborated on the nature of her restraints. Bosenko says the woman was "very emotional" and battered when found. He said she was treated and re- leased from an area hospi- tal, where her husband was "at her side." The sheriff has declined to discuss details of Papa- ni's injuries. Are there any suspects? Bosenko told reporters on Thursday that authori- ties are looking for two His- panic women armed with a handgun and driving a dark-colored SUV. He called on potential witnesses to contact au- thorities and said investiga- tors were working through more than 400 tips. He said investigators have "sensitive informa- tion" that hasn't been dis- cussed publicly because the incident is "still a critical active investigation." What are the authorities and family saying? Before Sherri Papani was found, police had filed at least 20 search warrants in court linked to the inves- tigation. Many remained sealed. ABC News reported investigators were also looking through her com- puter records, probing past relationships and seeking surveillance footage that could offer clues. "Obviously she was emo- tional and quite upset, but elated to be freed, and so we were able to get some infor- mation from her," Bosenko told "Good Morning Amer- ica." Later, the sheriff told ABC News that police have no reason to disbelieve the woman's story. "She was assaulted and had injuries which she was treated for," Bosenko said. Sherri Papani's sister, Sheila Koester, told The Associated Press the fam- ily was "very thankful and very ecstatic" about her safe return. Speaking separately at a news conference, Koester declined to answer ques- tions about her sister's dis- appearance and the inves- tigation, saying she knew no details. "Right now she's been through a very traumatic event, and needs time with her family," 36-year- old Koester said. What else is clear? Authorities have not said where they believe Papini was held during her three- week disappearance, nor have they discussed possi- ble motives. The Papinis are not wealthy and no ransom was sought for her safe return. Is the community on edge? SandraOswald,a29-year- old community organizer in Redding, had helped run search groups to look for the missing woman. Oswald is a runner, like Papini, and said her sudden vanishing hit close to home. "It was just the biggest blessing, not only for the family but for the commu- nitythat'sbeentryingtofind her," Oswald said of Papini's return. "Now, it's just pray- ing for them and her recov- ery." In the wake of Papini be- ing found, the sheriff has urged the community to "be cautious."

Formed by a small group studying art at Red Bluff High School in the evening, charter members were Mar- jorie Garrett, Dr. Cahoone Yuen, Margaret Rae, Jewel Quisenberry, Art Germain, Evalyn Hinkle, Linda Egg- leston, Dan Souza and Inez Hinkle. Garrett and Yuen wrote the following objective of the group's bylaws: "To cre- ate and maintain an indi- vidual as well as a collec- tive interest in art in all its forms. To promote show- ings of various art in the area for the benefit of the members and for the inter- est of the public. To provide or promote educational op- portunities regarding art forms. To promote and pro- vide field trips." The association's history is rich and full, contribut- ing to many groups, orga- nizations and causes in Te- hama County and beyond. Being one of the first mem- bers of the Kelly-Griggs House Museum — since 1966 — the association ac- tively participated in fun- draising events by prepar- ing stage settings for an- nual revues, involvement in the restoration of the house museum, and con- tinues to exhibit art during annual ice cream socials. In 1995 members made a noteworthy display dur- ing both county and state fairs. The artists painted large photo opportunity cut-outs representing the Corning Air Show, Man- ton's Apple Festival, ski- ing and fishing the Sacra- mento River, the Los Mo- linos 4th of July Parade, an 1849 era family and the Red Bluff Rodeo, rep- resenting the theme: "How To Have Fun In Tehama County." It was the third most visited booth at the state fair, earning Tehama County a silver ribbon and $4,000. "So now you have an idea of where we've been but what about where we are going," Sipes said. "We still encourage and inspire each other as one of our artists, Judy Walker, men- tioned recently. To make her paintings 'pop' Judy acted on advice from artist Marjorie Curl who stated 'Don't be afraid to put in the dark-darks, without them you don't have the light,' adding 'and don't get so nervous about it — it's only paper.' Simple enough but until she heard this Judy didn't realize how flat her paintings were. Now her paintings have risen to a whole new level and she has shared these tech- niques with others as this is what we do." Janet Tooby recently demonstrated Chinese brush work to a group of 30 artists and Grace Gresser weekly introduces artists to painting with alcohol inks. There is the fellowship and friendship that the love of art continues to bring out in association members. "We will continue work- ing on the 109-foot mural at the Tehama District fair- grounds this spring" Sipes said. "We are looking for- ward to hanging the West- ern Art Show during Jan- uary's Bull and Gelding Sale." In addition to their par- ticipation in community events like the College and Career Day, Sacramento River Discovery Center, Dairyville Orchard Festi- val, ArtWalk, judging the Children's Art contest and hanging art in the Tehama County Library, members have been given the oppor- tunity to be part of Ken and Melina Robison's new ven- ture, the opening of a re- gional event and art center at the corner of Main and Pine streets. "This is such a gift to our community," Sipes said. "Under the direction of the Tehama County Arts Council the beautiful build- ing will house the Green Room with various classes in many media plus a photo and art gallery. We will then be able to have artists come and give workshops, lectures to inspire us, cre- ate opportunities, bringing education and enrichment to the North Valley." The anniversary celebra- tion kicks off a weekend of art. The Open Studio Tours start the next day, when guests may visit different artists in their studios. The self-guided tour is 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Dec. 3 and 4, and again Dec. 10 and 11. "Come see where we came from and where we are going" Sipes said. "Look out Red Bluff; we might be turning into an artist col- ony." For more information about the association, call 528-2438, visit redbluffar- tassociation.com or find the group on Facebook.

By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Officialsina Northern California county have known for years that they have security problems with an antiquated jail and recently won $80 million in state funding to help build a new facility. But before the work be- gan, two prisoners es- caped last week by cutting through the bars of a sec- ond-story window and rap- pelling to the ground using bedsheets. The men have been deemed dangerous by authorities and remain at large. Santa Clara County Sher- iff Laurie Smith has said the men escaped from a dor- mitory that lacks security cameras. In addition, it's so noisy that guards some- times have trouble hear- ing what goes on inside the dorm, she said. Smith said there are now plans to install cameras. The escape was not de- tected until a deputy pa- trolling the jail's perimeter spotted movement in the shadows and saw bedding dangling from the window. The new Santa Clara County facility set to open in 2019 will replace the 60-year-old structure that housed Rogelio Chavez and Laron Campbell until they escaped late Wednesday. Sheriffs statewide have long complained about out- dated lockups, particularly since the state passed a law in 2011 that keeps some in- mates housed for years in facilities that were designed to hold offenders for a year or less. Officials with the Califor- nia State Sheriffs' Associa- tion did not immediately re- spond when asked to com- ment Monday about the problems. Santa Clara County was awarded the $80 million in state money last year from a nearly $2.5 billion Califor- nia fund devoted to mod- ernizing local jails. The new, $258 million fa- cility is Santa Clara is ex- pected to have space for more than 800 inmates. The county said in its application that the new structure will replace areas that are "outmoded, over- crowded (and) difficult to supervise," including space holding medium and high- medium security offenders in the section of the jail that was built in 1956. State officials couldn't say how often offenders escape from county jails, though es- capes from secure facilities are relatively rare. The California prison sys- tem says it has recorded just 13 escapes from walled pris- ons, none more recent than 2000. Walk-aways from un- fenced areas like rehabilita- tion programs and inmate firefightingcampsoccurreg- ularly, though the offenders are usually captured within days. Last January, three men used smuggled tools to cut through the bars on the fifth floor of the main Orange County jail then rappelled to the ground and escaped in a get-away car. They later forced a cab drivertotakethemtoNorth- ern California, but the plot unraveled when one of the men took the driver back to Southern California for fear the driver would be killed by his accomplices. The other two were soon recaptured in San Francisco. In Santa Clara, investiga- tors have not yet found the toolsthatChavezandCamp- bell used to cut through the bars, and aren't sure how they obtained the tools or whether they had help, Smith said. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said Monday that Chavez was reported to be in Gilroy on Sunday night, about 35 miles south of where he and Campbell escaped. Santa Clara County offi- cials are offering a $20,000 reward for help in catching their two men. Chavez, 33, of San Jose and Campbell, 26, of Palo Alto could face possible life sentences if they are con- victed of burglary, extor- tion,falseimprisonmentand other charges. Chavez had been in the jail since August and Camp- bell since February 2015. Two other men escaped briefly and were recaptured. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Es ca pe oc cu rr ed b ef or e ja il c ou l d be re pl ac ed MADALINELOUISEJOHNSON December 10, 1941 ~ November 6, 2016 Madaline Louise Johnson of Tehama, CA passed away November 6, 2016. She was born on December 10, 1941 in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania to Tony and Betty Barone. Madaline left home at the young age of 15 which taught her strong work ethics that carried on throughout her life- time. It was not uncommon for Madaline to work 10 hour days all while raising eight children. Madaline was self employed with her husband of 48 years, Daniel Wayne Johnson, who passed In November 2012. They owned a building and landscape stone business which would often take her out of town to work. A day usually consisted of her making her kids and crew breakfast, and after words she would work alongside the crew in the field. Lunch duty was hers as well and then back out to the field to finish the day. When the crew's day was done Madaline still had the task of preparing dinner, then was left to clean up before her day was finally over. Those surviving are Carleen Johnson of Redding, CA; Ju- lie Johnson of Chico, CA; Gayle Giannotti of Encinitas, CA; Elizabeth and her husband Dale Keith of Red Bluff, CA; Daniel Wayne Johnson, Jr. of Chico, CA; Angela and her husband Toby Garman of Proberta, CA and Franklin Johnson and his wife Brianna of Tehama, CA. Daughter Dixie Stupey was lost to cancer in 2006. Madaline was very loving and caring especially when it came to her 19 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. She loved all and was loved by all, as she was always giving and help- ing others. She volunteered to cook for the Red bluff homeless shelter once a week even while battling her own health issues. That combined her love of people with her passion for cooking. Maddy loved to cook, es- pecially for others. Most people think their mom is the best cook...well EVERYONE thought Madaline was the best cook. She would always open her doors at Thanks- giving and Christmas to the homeless and anyone else that wanted to join. Christmas was her favorite time of the year and she was well known for decorating her home inside and out, top to bottom. People would drive over the Tehama bridge every year to see her display. Most enjoyed the gifts and festivities Christmas Eve as that was her time to celebrate. Christmas day was a little more quiet with a traditional family dinner, but again with that open invitation. Never did she judge anyone for their faults and accepted all to be good. Maddy will join her husband Dan at IGO Veteran's Cemetery.
