Deathnotices said Tuesday afternoon that it is looking at the pos- sibility that a refrigerator or other appliance was the source of a warehouse fire that killed 36 people. Jill Snyder, the spe- cial agent in charge of the ATF's San Francisco office, said it's too early to say for sure a refrigerator caused the blaze, but she said it was a potential source of ignition. Snyder said inves- tigators are looking at any- thing electrical on the first floor of the warehouse near where the fire started. "We have no indication that this was intentionally set," Snyder said. Founder Derick Ion Al- mena told the "Today Show" earlier Tuesday that he was at the site to put his face and his body in front of the scene. How- ever, he deflected blame for the blaze. Almena said he signed a lease for the building that "was to city standards supposedly." "I'm only here to say one thing that I'm incredibly sorry and that everything that I did was to make this a stronger and more beau- tiful community and to bring people together," he said. Oakland Fire Battal- ion Chief Robert Lipp said crews have cleared 85 per- cent of the "Ghost Ship" building with one corner still inaccessible because it is unstable. Crews hope to stabilize it Tuesday. Officials said they would turn next to investigating the fire. It's unclear how it started. The district at- torney warned of possible murder charges as she de- termines whether there were any crimes linked to the blaze. "We owe it to the com- munity and those who perished in this fire, and those who survived the fire to be methodical, to be thorough, and to take the amount of time it takes to be able to look at ev- ery piece of potential ev- idence," Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said. The blaze is the most lethal building fire in the U.S. in more than a decade and stories of victim's last minutes began to emerge Monday. Alameda County sher- iff's spokesman Sgt. Ray Kelly said that some of the victims texted relatives, "I'm going to die," and "I love you." Rescue crews found bod- ies of people "protecting each other, holding each other," Kelly said. On Monday night, hun- dreds of people holding candles and flowers hon- ored those who died in the fire at a vigil at Oakland's Lake Merritt. Those in the crowd em- braced each other or held up candles as they said aloud the names of people they lost in the blaze. Several people in the crowd held signs offering "free hugs." Fire FROM PAGE 1 is implemented: Legalizes marijuana under state law, for use by adults 21 or older; designates state agencies to license and reg- ulate marijuana industry; imposes state excise tax of 15 percent on retail sales of marijuana and state culti- vation taxes on marijuana of $9.25 per ounce of flow- ers and $2.75 per ounce of leaves; exempts medical marijuana from some tax- ation; establishes packag- ing, labeling, advertising, and marketing standards and restrictions for mari- juana products; prohibits marketing and advertis- ing marijuana directly to minors; allows local regu- lation and taxation of mar- ijuana; authorizes resen- tencing and destruction of records for prior mari- juana convictions. According to ballotpe- dia.com, an encyclope- dia of American politics, prop 64 has made it legal for individuals to use and grow marijuana for per- sonal use on Nov. 9, 2016. However, the sale and sub- sequent taxation of recre- ational marijuana will not go into effect until January 1, 2018. It continues to state that under this law adults 21 years old and older will be allowed to possess small amounts of non-medical marijuana, and to grown small amounts at home for personal use, according to the site. Sale of nonmedi- cal marijuana will be legal only at highly regulated, licensed marijuana busi- nesses or dispensaries and only adults 21 years old or older will be permitted to enter. Bars, liquor and gro- cery stores will not be al- lowed to sell marijuana. The city will consider the laws in prop 64, and will modify it accordingly. Pot FROM PAGE 1 "It's one of the jewels of Red Bluff," Alexander, who attended with his wife Judy, said. "We need to make sure it keeps going." Over the years Alexan- der has helped the museum get money through selling t-shirts and donating pro- ceeds to the museum as well as donations through the Red Bluff Masonic Lodge. The museum, which is open Thursdays and Sun- days from 1-4 p.m. with the last tour at 3 p.m., has been in the process of restoring the building with help from donations from the commu- nity and in-kind work such as the Cal Fire crew from Ishi that helped clean up some of the mess from the area underneath the house, she said. "The original donation from the McConnell Foun- dation for $50,000 was a shot in the arm for the stabi- lization of the house," Brown said. "One of our deep con- cerns is we understand the foundation needs to be fin- ished, but so does the siding. It needs to be repaired and painted." The group is still trying to find the right contractor to takeonthejob,butestimates in the early days of the proj- ectwerearound$200,000to $300,000, said Board Mem- ber Sharon Wilson. The group has been working to raise funds to restore the building that houses many itemsfromTehamaCounty's history. So far efforts have brought in around $35,000 to $36,0000. The museum association is always looking for people to volunteer as Kelly-Guides who give tours during days it is open.

Gala FROM PAGE 1 By Jonathan Lemire The Associated Press NEW YORK President- elect Donald Trump, a po- litical newcomer who touts his corporate skills, turned businessman-in-chief Tues- day, first demanding the government cancel a mul- tibillion-dollar order for new presidential planes and then hailing a Japanese company's commitment to invest billions in the U.S. Six weeks before taking office, Trump is telegraph- ing that he'll take an inter- ventionist role in the na- tion's economy — as well as play showman when he sees a chance. The celeb- rity businessman's decla- ration about Air Force One caused manufacturer Boe- ing's stock to drop tempo- rarily and raised fresh ques- tions about how his admin- istration — not to mention his Twitter volleys — could affect the economy. "The plane is totally out of control," Trump told re- porters in the lobby of Trump Tower. "I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boe- ing to make a lot of money, but not that much money." Earlier he had tweeted that the deal's costs were "out of control, more than $4 bil- lion. Cancel order!" Not long after his first ap- pearance, Trump returned to the lobby with Masayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank, a massive telecommunica- tions company that counts Sprint among its holdings. Trump pointed proudly to Son's commitment to invest $50 billion in the United States, which Trump said could create 50,000 jobs. Trump — who also tweeted the deal — shook Son's hand and posed for photos, reveling as he had last week when he toured a Carrier plant in Indiana where he said he had insti- gatedanagreementthatwill preserve about 1,000 jobs the appliance maker had planned to move to Mexico. As for Air Force One, the government has contracted with Boeing to build two new planes, which would go into service around 2024. That means Trump might never fly on the air- craft, which carry U.S. pres- idents around the globe. The Air Force has pressed for a faster schedule, saying theagingcurrentBoeing747s are becoming too expensive to repair and keep in good flyingshape.Thecontractfor developingandbuildingnew planeswastobeabout$3bil- lion, but costs have been re- ported to be rising. The General Account- ability Office estimated in March that about $2 bil- lion of the total — for work between 2010 and 2020 — was for research and de- velopment, not the actual planes. The inflated $4 bil- lion figure Trump cited ap- pears to include operation and maintenance as well. Trump began his on- slaught against Boeing at 8:52 a.m., tweeting "Boe- ing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 bil- lion. Cancel order!" PRESIDENT ELECT Trump interjects himself in Air Force One, business deals The Associated Press GREEN RIVER, WYO.

This is a story of "local boy makes good". However, all 8 of Ritchie and Mary Sale's prodigious brood made good…and yet now they are all gone. Doug was the last to go and well into his 90's when he passed away. Doug was a splendid athlete and avid golfer. He was well known and respected as aleadingeducator at Red Bluff Union High School for many years…and prior, in his college days, a member of the famous UCLA basketball team under legendary Coach John Wooden…the latter winning 10 national champi- onships! Doug was so well thought of by his coach (and longtime friend) at UCLA, that he later became Wooden's assistant coach. In our discussions over the years, Doug empha- sized the need for balanced discipline in his stu- dents…and we both agreed my own stay at RBUHS would have been more productive under his guid- ance. I've written previously of the great Sale family gathered around their large dinner table with Ritchie at the head carving a roast, Mary at the opposite end dealing out reprimands when needed among their 4 boys and 4 girls…and as I recall, Doug was the one who volunteered that the meat being served that night came, not from Minch's Wholesale Meats, but from Vestals', our competitor. Whereas David Sale was my pal and contemporary in school, Doug was an upper classman then and inclined to tease me when a guest at their dinner table. We have learned that no services are planned for Doug at this time, but later there may be an obser- vance of some kind. Doug's wife Suzanne, is a school mate of ours and longtime tennis partner with my wife JoAnn. Doug and Suzanne's children Ellen, Kara and son Kevit are all friends of our children, and the Sale relationship continues. R.I.P. Doug WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2016 REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM |NEWS | 5 A
