We only have a staff of four people and it takes many people to do this so we thank all of our volunteers." The charity thanks Red Bluff Elementary School District and the Boy Scouts, who help collect food for it every year but don't always get thanked, Wetter said. The Salvation Army has been in the Red Bluff com- munity for about 126 years. "We have received a lot of tears and hugs of appre- ciation," White said. "Peo- ple are very appreciative and thankful of the help they've received."

Sanders said what could be contributing to the spike in stolen vehicle ac- tivity may be the adoption of AB109 in 2011, that al- lowed for less-serious felony offenders to receive lesser sentences, including proba- tion, and the 2014 passage of Proposition 47, which re- duced certain drug posses- sion felonies to misdemean- ors. The department has ex- perienced a 348 percent in- crease in the number of ve- hicles stolen when com- pared to 2011, which had 25 stolen vehicles in the year. On Sept. 8 the TIDE board agreed to allocate $125,000 toward the proj- ect. The price for three years of the program covers the taxes and all other asso- ciated project costs with the exclusion of Internet access air cards and the monthly fees associated with those cards. Since the $125,000 allo- cation was insufficient, the item was taken back to the TIDE board in attempt to gain sufficient funding with no cost to the agencies in- volved, according to the agenda report. On Nov. 10 the TIDE board voted to al- locate $140,000 for the proj- ect to cover all startup costs and other associated fees and expenses for a three- year period. At the end of three years, funding would be necessary to continue the program fully, Sanders said. The annual cost for year four would be almost $21,000 and the cost for year five would be almost $22,000. Two additional fixed post sites per year will be provided if the department decides to continue using the program, which would also further build the ca- pacity of the program, Sanders said. At that time, the depart- ment will look at the data to see if the program had been beneficial in the three years and move forward, whether it be continuing the program or ending the program, accordingly.

The California Depart- ment of Corrections and Rehabilitation said Thurs- day that one inmate was shot in the buttocks as guards attempted to stop the fighting. Three were injured by other inmates. The riot broke out Tues- day afternoon in a me- dium-security block of the prison in northern Califor- nia. Two inmates have re- turned to the facility, while two others remain hospi- talized in fair condition. Investigators are re- viewing the guards' use of deadly force. The Susanville prison, located about 200 miles northeast of Sacramento, houses nearly 3,000 in- mates and another 1,900 at conservation camps. INMATES 4 injured at prison riot in Susanville By Eileen Sullivan and Richard Lardner The Associated Press WASHINGTON Former Na- tional Security Agency con- tractor Edward Snowden remains in contact with Russian intelligence ser- vices, according to a bipar- tisan congressional report released at a time when Russia is considered a top national security concern. The two-year inquiry fo- cused on Snowden's 2013 leak of classified U.S. ma- terial about America's sur- veillance programs. It con- cluded that Snowden com- promised national security by these disclosures and is avoiding prosecution while living in a country that is considered one of the top U.S. adversaries. In recent months, U.S. intelligence agencies have been outspo- ken about their beliefs that Russia actively interfered in the U.S. political process by hacking into private email accounts. The report sends a strong message to President Barack Obama during his final days in office: Do not pardon Ed- ward Snowden. Obama has not of- fered any indication that he is considering pardon- ing Snowden for the leaks that embarrassed the U.S. and angered allies. Lisa Monaco, Obama's adviser on homeland security and counterterrorism, said last year that Snowden "should come home to the United States and be judged by a jury of his peers — not hide behind the cover of an au- thoritarian regime." However, there has been a push by privacy advocacy groups to pardon the for- mer NSA contractor who they herald as a whistle- blower for leaking docu- ments that disclosed the extent of the data the U.S. collects on Americans in its efforts to fight terror- ism. After the disclosures, Obama reined in some of the surveillance authorities and put in place additional measures to provide more transparency to the classi- fied programs. The House intelligence committee released the re- port to provide what the panel's chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., called "a fuller account of Edward Snowden's crimes and the reckless disregard he has shown for U.S. national se- curity." CONGRESS In qu ir y sa ys S no wd en r em ai ns i n contact with Russia's spy services MARCO GARCIA — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE Edward Snowden appears on a live video feed broadcast from Moscow at an event sponsored by ACLU Hawaii in Honolulu. By Emery P. Dalesio and Gary D. Robertson The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. Repealing North Carolina's law lim- iting LGBT protections at the close of a bitter elec- tion year was supposed to heal blows to the economy and perhaps open a truce in the culture wars in at least one corner of the divided United States. The failure of state law- makers to follow through instead shows how much faith each side has lost in the other, as Americans seg- regate themselves into com- munities of us and them, defined by legislative dis- tricts that make compro- mise unlikely. The deal was supposedly reached with input from top politicians and industry leaders: Charlotte agreed to eliminate its anti-discrimi- nationordinanceonthecon- dition that state lawmak- ers then repeal the legisla- tion known as House Bill 2, which had been a response to Charlotte's action. But bipartisan efforts to return both the city and state to a more harmonious past fell apart amid mutual distrust, and neither side seemed to worry about ret- ribution in the next election. With GOP map-drawers drawingmostlegislativedis- tricts to be uncompetitively red or blue, politicians see little downside to avoiding a negotiated middle-ground. And since the day Republi- cans passed and signed it into law last March, HB2 has reflected these broad divisions in society. The failed repeal shows the same polarization, said David Lublin, a Southern politics expert in American University's School of Pub- lic Affairs. North Carolina had been "seen as the forefront of the new South," focusing on ed- ucation and economic devel- opment, and wasn't "viewed as crazy-right wing or crazy- leftwing,"Lublinsaid.Keep- ing the law in effect, he said, "reverses that impression." It was always more than just a "bathroom bill." Republican lawmakers commandingveto-proofma- jorities framed HB2 as a re- buke to the values of Char- lotteandotherurban,white- collar communities where Democratsareclusteredand where gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people gen- erally find support. BATHROOM BILL North Carolina fails to repeal LGBT law MARYLOUISEGOTTSCHALK March 24, 1918 ~ December 19, 2016 Mary Louise Gottschalk, age 98, passed away peacefully with her daughter by her side on December 19, 2016. Mary married Henry (Hank) Gottschalk, the love of her life, on May 13, 1939. Jobs were hard to find at that time, but Mary found a job as a "Rosie the Riviter" at McClelland Air Force Base in Sacramento. Shortly after that, Hank started a job at Diamond Match Mill in Stirling City, CA, where they lived and raised their family for sev- enteen years. When the Stirling City mill closed in 1957, Hank was transferred to Diamond International Lumber Mill in Red Bluff. While in Red Buff, Mary worked at the Diamond In- ternational Pulp Mill for many years until she retired in 1980. Mary was preceded in death by her husband Henry (Hank) Gottschalk on June 18, 2002, after 63 years of marriage. in August of 2002, Mary moved to Tehama Es- tates where she made her home for eleven years and made many friends. She moved to Carmichael to live with her daughter and husband in 2013. In the early years at Tehama Estates, she could be seen leading the exercises or conducting a bible study. She attended Bethel Assem- bly of God church for over 55 years. Her faith and family were the most important thing in her life. You seldom ev- er saw Mary without a big smile on her face. She lit up the room when she entered. She loved people and peo- ple loved her and were drawn to her because of God's presence within her. Mary is survived by her two daughters: Connie (Marvin) Smoot and Donna Valentine, her grandchildren: Charlene (Bill) Nickels, Stephanie Valentine, Andrew Valentine, Scott (Donna) Smoot, Sam Valentine. She has 5 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. Mary was born to Francis and Pearl Brown on March 24, 1918 in Minnesota, the oldest daughter of ten children.

She was born a mere 4 lbs. in Corning, Ca, on November 24, 1968 to Paula Bates Ivey and Jerry Lawrence Ivey. She attended Pleasant Valley High School and earned a Medical Assistant certificate, us- ing those skills in medical billing employment. That basic knowledge developed into a career as a marketing- purchasing agent in Southern California and later at Roll- ing Hills Casino. Extreme health issues precluded her fur- ther employment and no longer able to drive, she spent her remaining years homebound. Her devastating health did not hamper her activities however, as she made 'lem- onade out of life's lemons' - with gusto! Horses have al- ways paced through her soul, with Chocolate Man, nuz- zled by her beloved Twilight, at the front of her herd. She had been able to compete in distance competitions of up to 50 miles, trail rides and training and most recently, celebrated being able to participate in organized trail rides, camp outs and even compete in trail trial competi- tion. Through the respect and generosity of her caring friends, she and her horses were taken to horse events, where she won many different competitions and was rec- ognized as an accomplished horsewoman. Kristie was caring, loving and devoted to all aspects of her world, with family at the top of the list; shopping with family, family get-togethers, trips and all sporting events involving family and even friends of the family! While Kristie didn't make five feet tall, she was a mighty little force to be reckoned with when championing any cause that she took exception to, expressing herself with the fiery passion of what she perceived as right or wrong. Kristie loved to read, cook, crochet, and research any lit- tle piece of knowledge that might make a difference in the lives of others, sharing recipes, horse and human health remedies, and the latest known information on any subject. With a lovable sense of humor, she often shared jokes and pictures just to put a 'smile' into someone's day. Her infectious joy was contagious when sharing the latest adventures of her two grandsons, Jerry and Sebastian. Kristie has joined her father, Jerry Ivey and her brother, Jimmy Lawrence Ivey in heaven. She is survived by the love of her life, her husband, Zack Pettit, and her pre- cious son, Jayce Ivey Pettit; her mother, Paula Ivey; a daughter, Shaeley Robinson and Shaeley's son, Jerry Cobos; a son, Cody Boutelle (Jessica) and their son, Se- bastian Boutelle. Kristie leaves a brother, Jeremy Ivey and his daughters Emma and Carmen; a sister, Dawn (Tim) and their sons, Tyelar and Chance. She is also survived by her godparents, Bob and Kathi Theile. Kristie had an overwhelming sense of caring and loving; she will contin- ue to be in our hearts forever. A Celebration of Life is planned in the Spring. Condo- lences can be made on Kristie's Facebook page. In lieu of flowers, donations in her name, can be made to Jayce Pettit College Fund at Rabo Bank, 950 Hwy 99W, Corn- ing, CA 96021, OR Handi-Riders of Northern California, P0 Box 1885, Chico, CA 95927 or any charity of your choice.
