Deathnotices The display was put up overtheDec.10weekendand took at least three hours to put together. It's something the group does on their own time and it is appreciated by the county employees who collect donations by send- ing around an envelope to help with the cost, said An- gela Evans, assistant clerk of the board. This year dona- tions went toward purchas- ing LED lights to upgrade those used in the display, Skelton said. "We didn't want to break tradition," Skelton said."Not on my watch." Skelton is joined by Bill Roudebush, who has helped with the display for 33 years, Tom Mackey, Drew Cheney, Matt Simonsen and Mike Eighmy.

"We do it to help spread Christmasspiritandbecause wefeelcompelledto,"Roude- bush said. "We don't want to be the first ones not to do it."

RED BLUFF HIGH A HOLIDAY CLASSIC PHOTOS BY HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS The Red Bluff High School teachers join in the Holiday Classic festivities with a Harry Potter skit, including the characters Lord Voldemort, Professor Minerva McGonagall and a motorcycle ride with Hagrid and Harry Potter. It hovered in rain be- tween power lines as the two women, six puppies and four adult dogs were hoisted to safety. When the Los Angeles County sheriff's air res- cue crew arrived, one of the women was on top of a shelter and the other was standing knee-deep in water, said Deputy Brice Stella, a tactical medic. Stella hoisted one woman up but the other wanted to stay because she feared her dogs would be left behind. Stella con- vinced her to go into the helicopter by saying he'd do his best to rescue the dogs. The helicopter crew emptied two large bags normally used to store gear, then lowered Stella down with the bags. "I was able to fit all the dogs," he said. "They actu- ally looked well-cared-for." Earlier, torrential rain fell on the coast between San Francisco and Los An- geles near the landmark Hearst Castle late Thurs- day and rockslides closed about 36 miles of High- way 1 in the region. High- way crews expected to have the scenic route re- opened by midafternoon Friday. A weather station in the area recorded more than 5 inches of rain. In the Sierra Nevada, the Tioga Pass entry point to Yosemite National Park received 35 inches of snow in 24 hours, the weather service said. Building snowpack in the Sierra is critical for California's water supply after five years of drought. Roads into Yosemite Valley were open again Friday after being closed overnight due to poten- tial flooding. The Merced River crested below flood stage, resulting in no ma- jor damage to park roads or operations. The storm entered the northern end of the state early Thursday and moved south, continuing to drop rain through the Friday morning rush hours across Southern California. Downtown Los Ange- les, in a part of the state that has been categorized as in the midst of "ex- treme drought," had col- lected 1.58 inches of rain from the storm by Friday morning. Flooding submerged a large section of La Cienega Boulevard, one of the ma- jor routes to Los Ange- les International Airport. Elsewhere in the county, a trucker was killed when a big rig overturned on a freeway early Friday. In Hollywood, hundreds of people were pelted by rain for hours Thursday night as they stood out- side trying to get into a rare Metallica concert at a small venue, the Henry Fonda Theater. In Lancaster, north of Los Angeles, people out in the rain and wind were happy for the wintry holi- day vibe. "Just all of the sudden a little storm is kicking in," Kara McDonald told KTTV-TV as she shopped in an elf hat. "We can sit around the fire and drink some hot chocolate." The storm caused worry in some spots like burn ar- eas, where fire station were handing out sandbags. "We're concerned about mudslides and flooding," Los Angeles fire spokes- woman Margaret Stew- art said. Get out quickly if "things go bad," she urged residents of foothill and burned areas. "Don't take the risk of being trapped in a mudslide." Earlier Thursday, the San Francisco Bay Area was hit with one of its heaviest storms in an al- ready wet season, with a small town in the North Bay receiving nearly 7 inches of rain in 24 hours. More than 100 flights in and out of San Fran- cisco International Air- port were cancelled and about 360 were delayed for minutes to hours because of weather concerns, said Brian Horne, airport duty manager. Venado, a remote for- mer lumber town west of Healdsburg, was hit the hardest as the storm moved from the North Bay into San Francisco and the Central Coast. Some creeks in those counties were over flood stages. San Francisco recorded more than an inch of rain in 24 hours, with areas further north seeing 2 to 4 inches and 5 to nearly 7 inches recorded in some areas of the Sierra Ne- vadas, along with at least one wind gust of over 100 mph. In Healdsburg in So- noma County, antique dealer Greg Sheldon said driving conditions were difficult. "Some of our streets are flooded here. I had two feet of water in one of my lanes," said Sheldon, who works at Antique Harvest.
