Isaacson is a low risk, was in college at the time be- fore the incident and has no prior criminal record, those factors support giving him the opportunity to prove himself during probation. The investigation was ini- tiated by School Resource Officer Heidi Thomas. There was a review of more than 26,000 text messages over an eight-month period. Those messages reportedly referenced sexual encoun- ters between the suspects and victim. The four men were ar- rested on April 19. It was reported that Sea- graves initially had a rela- tionship with the boy and had forged a note for the boy to receive a ride from the bus to his house instead of the boy's home. The sus- picious nature of the note prompted the investigation. Red Bluff Police officers obtained eight search war- rants from the court, in- cluding a warrant to search four residences, three in Tehama County and one in Butte County, and a search warrant for AT&T, Sprint and Verizon cellular phones, cameras and Face- book accounts. Numerous items were seized as evi- dence during the search. Officers seized phones, computers, a camera, a thumb drive and other items from the homes of Isaacson, Bryan Morrison, 19, of Red Bluff, and Sea- graves. There wasn't a list of con- fiscated items that accom- panied the warrant for the fourth man involved, Mi- chael Flowerdew, 20, of Red Bluff, who was reported to have had the shortest rela- tionship with the teen. Morrison pled guilty on Oct. 7 to one count of ar- ranging a time to meet the minor, one count of partic- ipating in an act of sodomy with a person under the age of 18, which could be pun- ishable by no more than a year's time in jail or prison, and two counts of willfully and lewdly committing a lewd act with a child who is under the age of 14. He will be back in court for sen- tencing at 3:30 p.m. Mon- day in department 4. Seagraves pleaded guilty to the same charges as Mor- rison with an added count of committing lewd acts by use of force, violence or fear with use of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on a victim, according to the Tehama County Superior Court records. Flowerdew pled guilty on Oct. 28 to committing lewd acts with a minor and will be sentenced at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 19, in department 4. Court FROMPAGE1 area near where the silver Honda was found, said Te- hama County Sheriff's De- partment Public Informa- tion Officer Lt. Yvette Bor- den. The deputy followed the dark Honda, but it took off and a pursuit began. As the chase continued, the deputy was told the car had been stolen from Chico. Following the crash, the driver and passenger at- tempted to flee, but were located by two deputies as- sisting the first. Hunt was identified as the driver and was booked into Tehama County Jail on charges of failure to obey a peace of- ficer, possession of a sto- len vehicle and taking a vehicle without the own- ers consent. Bail was set at $80,000. The passenger was iden- tified as Wood, who was booked into jail on the charge of obstructing a peace officer. Crash FROM PAGE 1 Findusonline! some sort of either an ex- ertion of power and control and/or maybe some type of message," he said, empha- sizing that the brand was a message, not a symbol. At the news conference later in the day, the sheriff said authorities still lack a motive for the abduction. "We do not know if she was a specific target or if this was a random abduc- tion," he said. Bosenko declined com- ment on where Papini had been branded or where she was held by her captors. He said he is not shar- ing all the details of the in- vestigation and asked for the public's help in finding the two women, saying au- thorities are trying to do a sketch of the suspects based on Papini's limited recollec- tions. Papini told investiga- tors the younger woman had long curly hair, thin eyebrows and a thick ac- cent. The older suspect had straight black hair with some gray and thick eye- brows. The sheriff warned res- idents to remain cautious until the suspects are iden- tified. Papini, the mother of two small children, disap- peared while jogging Nov. 2 near her home in Red- ding, about 140 miles north of Sacramento. She was re- leased near Interstate 5. Her husband Keith Pap- ini has said his wife was covered with bruises and burns and was chained at the waist and wrists when she was found. In a written statement Tuesday to "Good Morning America," he also addressed social media chatter doubt- ing his wife's story of ab- duction and assault. "Rumors, assumptions, lies, and hate have been both exhausting and dis- gusting," he wrote. The sheriff has said the case is puzzling for a num- ber of reasons, including motive. He said no ransom demand was made and the Papinis are of modest means. Bosenko told the AP on Monday that investigators have no reason to doubt the harrowing tale told by Sherri Papini. Keith Papini said his wife weighed just 87 pounds and the bridge of her nose was broken when she was tossed from a vehicle along the in- terstate with her hands re- strained and a bag over her head. Bosenko said Sherri Pap- ini was unable to recall any details about her abduction when first questioned soon after being found. He said victims of trau- matic experiences some- times suffer from memory loss regarding the events.

The AB 109 wood shop program will be assisting with cabinets and shelving in the laundry room. Other recent commu- nity projects include a ga- zebo donated as a part of an Eagle Scout project and a new computer from at- torney Ken Miller to give clients a way to work on a resume to help with their job searches. The remodeling of the house is an on-going proj- ect that started in 2009 when PATH received the house from the Sale fam- ily, who continue to sup- port the program, Lewis said. In October, The Home Depot brought several employees and repainted some of the upstairs area. The group is looking forward to decorating for Christmas with a tree that will be donated by Hoyt- Cole Chapel of the Flow- ers following the annual remembrance ceremony and gifts for under the tree will be provided through the giving tree at Sugar Shack downtown, said Sale House Case Manager Jen- nifer Ragsdale. The house can handle up to 15 clients at a time in its six bedrooms and costs about $18,000 a year to run, Ragsdale said. The annual yard sale in August is the only fundraiser. The program provides stability and support and is a comfortable place to build a foundation to move forward for the women in it, Ragsdale said. It gives women a safe place to stay while in transition from being homeless, which is one of the requirements of living there, and sorting thorough various issues that will allow them to get back on their feet and be- come productive members of the community while learning to be self suffi- cient. Clients get help with various aspects of their lives from becoming clean and sober to finding a job or even with the reunifi- cation process for women who have had their chil- dren taken by Child Pro- tective Services. "It's a two-year program, but the average client stays about seven months," Rags- dale said. "We always have a waiting list." For more information on the Sale House, call 727- 7191. House FROM PAGE 1 By Lauran Neergaard TheAssociatedPress WASHINGTON "Madeinthe same factory as peanuts." "May contain traces of tree nuts." A new report says the hodgepodge of warnings that a food might acciden- tally contain a troublesome ingredient is confusing to people with food allergies, and calls for a makeover. Foods made with allergy- prone ingredients such as peanuts or eggs must be labeled so consumers with food allergies know to avoid them. But what if a sugar cookie picks up pea- nut butter from an improp- erly cleaned factory mixer? Today's precautionary la- bels about accidental con- tamination are voluntary, meaning there's no way to know if foods that don't bear them should — or if wording such as "may con- tain traces" signals a bigger threat than other warnings. Wednesday, a report from the prestigious Na- tional Academies of Sci- ences, Engineering and Medicine said it's time for regulators and the food in- dustry to clear consumer confusion with labels that better reflect the level of risk. Today, "there's not any real way for allergic con- sumers to evaluate risk," said National Academies committee member Ste- phen Taylor, a University of Nebraska food scientist. He said research raises con- cern that consumers might simply ignore the precau- tions, "essentially a form of playing Russian roulette with your food." Food allergies are com- mon and sometimes can trigger reactions severe enough to kill. About 12 million Americans have long been estimated to have food allergies, and scien- tists question if they're on the rise. But Wednesday's Na- tional Academies report found that while food al- lergies are a serious pub- lic health problem, no one knows exactly how many people are affected — be- cause that hasn't been properly studied, in either children or adults. The re- port urged government re- searchers to rapidly find out, a key first step in learn- ing whether allergies really are increasing and who's most likely to suffer. The panel also recom- mended: • Better informing new parents about allergy pre- vention. Recent research has found that introducing potential allergy-triggering foods such as peanut butter before age 1 is more likely to protect at-risk children than the old advice to wait to try those foods until tots are older. • Better education for consumers and health pro- fessionals alike about the differences between true food allergies and other disorders that people some- times misinterpret as aller- gies, such as lactose intoler- ance and gluten sensitivity. • Better training for res- taurant workers, first re- sponders and others about helping people avoid foods they're allergic to, and how to treat severe allergic re- actions with a quick jab of the drug epinephrine, often sold as an EpiPen. The Asthma and Al- lergy Foundation of Amer- ica welcomed the recom- mendations as a "road- map" of ways to improve the lives of families with food allergies. The labeling recom- mendation, if eventu- ally adopted, could mark a big change in how al- lergic consumers decide what packaged foods are safe to eat. The report said the Food and Drug Admin- istration should replace the "precautionary" label approach with one that's risk-based. The idea: Determine a safety level for differ- ent allergens — just how much of a "trace" of pea- nuts or eggs or milk could most people with allergies tolerate? The resulting labeling would give con- sumers more information in deciding if they'd take a chance on a food or not, said Taylor, who pointed to a similar voluntary sys- tem in Australia and New Zealand. A food industry group indicated support. FDA spokeswoman Me- gan McSeveney said the agency was reviewing the report but was "particu- larly interested" in the sci- ence behind the panel's la- beling recommendations.

A gratitude of thanks to Gary Wondra and the staff of Mission Providers of Redding, and Canterberry homes, for all the love and comfort they provided to Chris for the past few years. CHRIS' POEM To run with the wind and jump in dry leaves; To catch the rain water adrip from the eaves. To skip and hop and be merry and gay; To chase butterflies on a sunny day. To fly a kite way up in the sky; To build a house in a tree so high. To have lots of friends with whom to share; To laugh with, have fun with, and show that you care. To ice-skate, play hopscotch and rise horses too! To have a whole day to spend at the zoo. To see a gull, take to the sky; or better yet to hear its cry. To romp with a puppy and giggle with glee; To walk a tight-rope or just climb a tree. To be able to smile, for no special reason; and dress oneself, No matter the reason. To be able to like others to think and talk; to be able to stand and to be able to walk. To be happy or sad whatever you choose; not always processing those down-cast blues. To be able to run both free and wild; Such is the dream of a handicapped child..
