Orland man hurt in shovel Orland Police contacted Corning Police at 11:05 p.m. Monday to advise they had someone in their lobby informing them Somphet Piranan had been hit in the head with a shovel an hour earlier, Corn- ing Police Chief Don Atkins said. Officers were sent to a residence in the 2000 block of Loleta Avenue where witnesses said Piranan and other members of his family had been gathered for a family get-together when a fight broke out. During the fight, Piranan received injury to his head after being hit by a four-foot-long metal pole and his girlfriend put him in the car and took him to the hospital, according to witnesses.

Gray wolves are listed under the federal act, but the state listing would create an additional layer of protection for the species. "The gray wolf once thrived in these lands, however it posed too big of a threat and had to be removed," the county's letter reads. "Without proper mitigation mea- sures, simply reintroducing the gray wolf to this area can lead to the same issues and threats that caused the gray wolf to be forced out of Northern California to begin with."

According to the DFG, OR-7 made a stop in Tehama County over the weekend Wolves were common through- out North America before being killed off in most areas of the coun- try by the 1930s. The board's letter says reintro- duction in other states have led to fiscal impacts. "Experience in other states sug- gest that control of wolf populations will become difficult if not impossi- ble because of opposition to wolf control not based on scientific evi- dence, but rather on ethical and moral concerns," the letter reads. Jackson, who said she had come to the meeting prepared to vote no, instead said she was in favor of the idea and requested City Manager Richard Crabtree to begin the process of creating more subcommittees. The council approved the subcommittee's forma- tion and nominated Schmid and Jackson to sit on it.

"The council asked us to start removing signs because it's starting to look bad through town," Linnet said. "They're all along Solano and down the side streets. They're on lamp posts, traffic signals and street light poles." Yard Sale signs are a problem in Red Bluff and on Monday afternoon resi- dent Linda Clawson dropped off 111 signs, While some complain Camry. A family member drove the suspect, also a family member, back to his residence in Orland, where he lives with Piranan, Atkins said. The pole was recovered as evidence, Atkins said. Two arrested with stolen vehicle on Sale Lane Two Red Bluff residents were arrested for vehi- cle theft Monday on Sale Lane after being found with a stolen Ford Explorer. Tehama County Sheriff's Department logs show deputies responded to the area near the Sand Slough at 10:07 a.m. after a citizen reported a gold Ford Explorer that was smoking stuck in the sand just north of the entrance to the diversion dam with two men and a woman nearby. Sheriff's logs show the occupants as Anthony which she collected over the last three weeks while out walking her neighbor- hood, at City Hall. The path Clawson takes has three main intersec- tions that have been prob- lematic since she started taking signs down on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, Clawson said. "Several years ago I got sick of looking at them up after the yard sale so I would take them down and throw them away when I got home," Clawson said. "I never take them down until the sale is over and I have no problem with yard sales. It's that they don't take them down after the sale is over." The corner of South Jackson and Luther has gotten really bad, she said. "It looks like trash The board takes the stance in the letter that gray wolves would be an endangerment to residents, visitors, existing wildlife and domesticated animals. There would also be finan- cial responsibilities not limited to acquisition and relocation, monitor- ing, policing, loss of private proper- ty and reimbursement costs. Using a University of Michigan study, the letter suggests if gray wolves were allowed to repopulate the area there would be a potential loss of between 132 and 1,184 cows or calves per year. mals would be substantial and since the gray wolf would be an endan- gered species cattlemen could incur substantial fines and potential jail time by eliminating wolves in an effort to protect their livestock." ments together if it made sense, such as the building department with planning. Mayor Forrest Flynn said, while the demand of meetings can be strenuous on public officials, it was always a positive to gather more information and broaden one's thought process.

The department is in the process of asking its own employees for sug- gestions and will soon launch a public survey. Eventually the depart- ment will include business leaders into planning ses- sions to gauge what the public wants out of its local law enforcement. Red Bluff does have an ordinance, which Building Director J.D. Ellison wrote two years ago, that says yard sale signs cannot go up more than two days before an event, must be down within 24 hours of the event's conclusion and cannot be posted more than six city blocks or 2,400 feet from the loca- tion of the sale. town," Clawson said. "It's just eye litter. Litter at eye level with their address on it and when it is windy and rainy the signs fall down. It would be nice if people would take them down." Red Bluff Planning Director Scot Timboe, who was on hand when Clawson brought her signs in, said the signs are not supposed to be in public right of way, but the reality is the city does not have the staff to stay on top of it. "It's a form of pollu- tion," Timboe said. "It really comes back to the visual pollution because everybody sees them. With the economic down- turn and people laid off we can't continue to take down every sign." Timboe said he is very appreciative of residents "I wish we could do more about the signs," Ellison said. "We used to be proactive and now we have become more reac- tive in code enforcement. I don't like it, but we only have so many hours." The Department has been short one person who has been out for about three months and was short another for three months after Ellison fell from a building and had to have two surgeries, he said. The problem is Ellison's department has to chose between things like code enforcement versus some- thing that will affect a neigh- borhood such as a fence down that lets a dog out or allows access to a pool. The department will be getting some relief soon as next Tuesday, the first day with a new 16-hour tem- porary position. Part of the job will include code enforcement, which should help with the signs, Ellison said. In the meantime, Elli- son does keep a master list of offenders and those who are second-time offenders get a warning letter with the third viola- tion warranting a visit from him, he said.

It may be a lot cheaper transportation, but I know one thing, it is a lot harder work than driving a car.* *Ed. Note: The 4 mile round trip did not last long, as father found he was getting enough exercise with a shortage of men at the plant. When the army planes come in, they circle directly over our plant at a very low altitude and their engines really roar. Today, while the men on the kill floor were talking about the possibilities of a Jap invasion, our inspector, Dr. Bissell, just as a plane flew overhead, went outside and threw a lot of rocks up on the tin roof over their head. The effect was instantaneous and we know now that we don't have enough exits. ***They tell me that the new owners of the City Bakery are baking bread that is turning out just as good as the highly advertized bread that is shipped here. ***In a report released by the State of California, it has been proven that an average tire is capable of being run over 30,000 miles at a speed of 35 miles per hour, but will wear out at 16,000 miles if driven at 55 miles an hour. Now that tires can no longer be bought, this is timely information. If you do not think the shortage of tires has decreased car traffic, just ask the service stations.

After confirming the vehicle, which was taken from Redding, was stolen, deputies contacted CHP, which took the woman and the two men back to the Red Bluff office for further investigation, CHP Officer Ken Reineman said. Quezada and Wheeler, both of Red Bluff, were booked into Tehama County Jail on the charges of vehicle theft and receiving stolen property, Reine- man said. Booking sheets show Quezada, who was held on $18,000 bail, was also booked for the charge of possession of controlled substance paraphernalia. — Staff reports ***When you have nothing else to do, think of a name for our new apartment house.* It is going to be really nice and we want a name that will be suitable.
