The project would con- sist of the installation of a new 6-inch water line that connects into the city's ex- isting 8-inch water line on Gurnsey Avenue. According to the report, the proposed 6-inch line would run east in the exist- ing alley and terminate at the end of the alley with ei- ther a fire hydrant or blow off valve. The new line would be owned by the city and indi- vidual meters for each res- ident will be connected to either the existing 8-inch line on Gurnsey Avenue or the 6-inch line. The project is esti- mated to cost $199,250 to $233,000 and includes all permitting and devel- opment fees, design and environmental fees and construction costs. There would be no general fund impact to the city. Tia Brandon, of the Te- hama County Environ- mental Health Depart- ment, gave a presenta- tion Oct. 4 on the issue and said the best option for those affected is to connect to the city's wa- ter system. She said it ap- pears, due to the site re- strictions, the drilling of a new well is not a viable so- lution. In order to obtain emer- gency grant funding for the planning and construc- tion of the proposed water tie, Kampmann said, the state is requiring the city to be the applicant for the funding. Tehama County Environmental Health and the State Water Resources Control Board provided as- sistance in the preparation of the application for fund- ing. The council adopted the resolution that will desig- nate Mayor Gary Jones as a representative to sign the agreement to move for- ward with the project. Project FROM PAGE 1 said. Broadway was travel- ling at least 25 mph when he hit Wierzbicki. The collision caused Wi- erzbicki to be thrown onto the hood and then into the windshield of the Honda, the release said. Wierz- bicki was carried a short distance before the Honda slowed, knocking him to the ground. Wierzbicki was taken by CHP helicopter to Mercy Medical Center in Redding for treatment of moderate injuries, the release said. Drugs and alcohol were determined not to be a fac- tor in the incident and no arrest was made. The collision remains under investigation. Man FROM PAGE 1 Thankyou! PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. for many years, Andrews said. During this time, her grandmother often encour- aged her by ending her let- ters with, "Go for it." "Between her and col- lege, I found a passion to write," Andrews said. "My first published piece was a short poem about San Fran- cisco written in fifth grade. The teachers chose a few writers from each grade level and had them submit a piece for a school book. It meant so much to me and I still have my copy." In college, Andrews honed her writing skills with every assignment chal- lenged her to improve her skills. Her favorite profes- sor, Walter Capps, asked her to write an article for UCSB's college magazine, Coastlines. "My article, 'Letting Viet- nam Go,' was published and I even received a check for my work," Andrews said. "After college, I spent many years learning Spanish and teaching elementary school. I wrote occasionally, but nothing for publication. I took a few writing classes here and there and eventu- ally returned to college to earn my master's degree in Educational Counseling. Although writing always interested me, my passion for education seemed to win out." With more time and en- couragement from her cousin, Cynthia Kremsner, who is a writer and illustra- tor that recently earned a contract to illustrate a chil- dren's book, Andrews began writing again. "Cynthia invited me to my first Society of Chil- dren's Book Writers and Il- lustrators conference sev- eral years ago and the con- ference inspired me to write and join another writer's or- ganization, Redding Writ- ers Forum, where I served on the board for two years as secretary," Andrews said. "These writing groups sup- port and encourage writ- ers at all stages of the pro- cess. They are an integral part of my commitment to writing a young adult novel. Young adult literature fas- cinates me because I work with teenagers every day and I want to understand more about their world. Finding anything that can help them through a diffi- cult time is one of my pas- sions. Often times, a story, or realizing they are not the only one to experience something painful, can provide them with an im- mense sense of hope. I'm always looking for stories that speak to the heart of teens who have to overcome and persevere through ex- treme hardships." Andrews said she hopes to contribute to the young adult genre with the pub- lication of her novel, "¡¿Him?!" and she is in the process of I'm revising it with my critique partner, Jamie Weil. "(Weil), Jennifer Phelps, and Linda Boyden helped me work through the first draft and I am forever grateful for their time and feedback," Andrews said. "They inspire me with their own writing and so does local award-winning author, Charlie Price. I will never forget his words af- ter he read the first page of my novel at a SCBWI work- shop in Cottonwood when he said I look forward to reading your published work." "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Curvy and Confident" will be available at the Barnes and Nobles Book- store in Redding, where An- drews hopes to hold a book signing in January. She is in the process of setting up a book signing at the Tehama County Library. Teacher FROM PAGE 1 The Associated Press LAGUNA HILLS Ed Reinecke, who was lieuten- ant governor of California under Gov. Ronald Reagan but resigned after a perjury conviction tied to the inves- tigation of the Watergate scandal, has died at age 92. Reinecke, who also served in Congress and ran to succeed Reagan as gover- nor in 1974, died of natural causes Saturday in Laguna Hills, son Mark Reinecke told the Los Angeles Times. Reinecke was a protege of Reagan, who appointed him as his second-in-com- mand in 1969. Reinecke was running for governor when he became ensnared in the wide-ranging Wa- tergate investigation of the Nixon administration. He was indicted for ly- ing about a 1972 phone call with John Mitchell, President Richard Nix- on's attorney general and a key figure in the scan- dal. The perjury charge stemmed from conversa- tions between Reinecke and Mitchell about tele- communication company ITT's offer to underwrite the 1972 Republican Con- vention. The Senate Judiciary Committee was investi- gating whether Mitchell knew about a $400,000 pledge from the company before Mitchell's Justice Department settled anti- trust disputes with ITT. Prosecutors suggested that in exchange for Reinecke lying to inves- tigators, Mitchell would help Reinecke in his bid for governor. Between the indictment and his 1974 conviction, Reinecke lost the Repub- lican primary to Houston Flournoy, who would go on to lose the governor's race to Democrat Jerry Brown. Reinecke received an 18-month suspended sen- tence from a federal judge, who called him a victim of his own "selfish ambition." Reagan stood by his friend and protege, seek- ing to get donors to pay his legal bills. "I'm sure, like most of us, you agree that Ed was — and is — a victim of cir- cumstances and Water- gate," Reagan said in his appeal to donors at the time. "This year it's our turn to help a man we all know to be a fine Chris- tian and loyal husband." The conviction would later be overturned on a technicality. It could not be proved there were enough senators present at Reinecke's Judiciary Com- mittee hearing to make its decision legal. Reinecke was born in Medford, Oregon, and raised in Beverly Hills. He served as a Navy radioman during World War II then got an engineering degree from the California Insti- tute of Technology. He operated an irriga- tion manufacturing com- pany with his family un- til 1966, when he success- fully ran for Congress at age 40 despite no politi- cal experience. He told the Times that he won because of "old-fashioned, hand- shaking, razzle-dazzle cam- paigning." After his conviction in 1974, Reinecke moved to a Sacramento-area cattle ranch and worked in real estate. His political power would later re-emerge when he was elected chair- man of the California Re- publican Party in 1983.

The Associated Press CHICAGO Travel condi- tions remained hazardous as a winter storm swept across much of the north- ern Plains on Monday, with blowing and drifting snow forcing the closure of an air- port and creating near-zero visibility on some roads. The combination of freezing rain, snow and high winds that forced vast stretches of highways in the Dakotas to be shut down Sunday continued into Monday, and authorities is- sued no-travel warnings for much of North Dakota. Meanwhile, in parts of the South, unseasonably warm temperatures was raising the risk of torna- does and damaging thun- derstorms. About 3 mil- lion people in parts of Ar- kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee could see damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes Monday, the Storm Prediction Cen- ter in Norman, Oklahoma, said, but no major outbreak is expected. Most of North Dakota was to remain under a bliz- zard warning through Mon- day afternoon or early eve- ning, according to the Na- tional Weather Service in Bismarck. Severe whiteout conditions led to the closure of Minot International Air- port, and the facility wasn't expected to reopen until 3 a.m. Tuesday. The airports serving Fargo and Bismarck also list flight cancellations on their websites. Winds gusting 40 mph to 50 mph associated also led to delays and cancel- lations at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The storm also has caused power outages in the Dako- tas and Nebraska. The South Dakota Rural Electric Association said roughly 19,000 of its cus- tomers were without power Monday afternoon. In Ne- braska, winds gusting up to 70 mph were cited for hun- dreds of power outages in central and eastern por- tions of the state Sunday, although by Monday morn- ing, utilities reported that power had been restored to most customers. The North Dakota Trans- portation Department closed most of a 240-mile stretch of Interstate 94 Sun- day night, from the Mon- tana border to Jamestown. That stretch remained closed Monday. Portions of U.S. Highways 2, 52 and 281 were also closed because of snow, ice and "near zero vis- ibility." Motorists who drive past the roadblocks can be fined up to $250. No-travel advisories were issued for much of North Dakota, including the Wil- liston, Dickinson, Minot, Bismarck, Jamestown, Val- ley City and Grand Forks ar- eas.

GLENNRICHARDFERGUSON February 7, 1934 ~ December 3, 2016 Glenn Richard Ferguson passed away at his home in Red Bluff, California on December 3, 2016 at the age of 82. On February 7, 1934, Glenn was born and raised on a farm in Litchfield, Nebraska. Glenn moved from Ne- braska with his parents, Hazel and Orval Ferguson, to Long Beach California after he graduated with honors from Litchfield High School in 1952. In Southern Califor- nia, Glenn became a metal fabricator in the aviation in- dustry working at McDonnell Douglas and Hughes Air- craft. Glenn married Ramona (Mona) Alice Hoornaert on January 23, 1954 in Lakewood, California. Mona passed away on January 23, 2012 three days after their 58 year anniversary. Glenn was hardworking, creative, generous, a good friend and father. Glenn and his family moved from Ana- heim, California to a ranch west of Red Bluff in 1970. Glenn and Mona were owners of Ferguson Construction until Glenn's retirement in the late '90s. Glenn and his crews poured concrete throughout northern California for over 30 years. In the 1980s, Glenn and Mona donated an acre of land and built, with the help of many volunteers and community fundraisers, the Dibble Creek Fire Station on Hwy 36W at no cost to the county of Tehama. Glenn sponsored various softball and basketball teams in the 1980's and enjoyed attending the events with family and friends. Glenn's passion was all motor sports. In the mid-50s he raced dragsters and midgets in Southern California. The increasing responsibilities of a family and beginning his own construction company made him put racing aside until 1984, when he began racing Mini-World of Outlaws, earning the name of "Old-man". In the late 80s he raced mini-sprints in Orland. In 1991, Glenn and Mona pur- chased a Sprint 100 car, where he successfully drove to the title of "Rookie of the Year" at the age of 57. Glenn always had a project or two going on in his garage, often building and rebuilding vintage cars. Glenn and Mona enjoyed snowmobile riding in Mineral, where they bought a cabin in the 70's and later moved to their re- modeled "cabin" in the late 90's. After nearly 16 years liv- ing in Mineral, in 2010, Glenn and Mona moved back to Red Bluff, where they resided in the Antelope area. Glenn was a member of the Red Bluff Elks for over 45 years. Glenn was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Darlene Sickels and his wife Mona. Glenn is survived by his daughter Kathryn Ferguson and son in-law David Geijsbeek (Red Bluff), his son David Ferguson (Karen) (Red Bluff), his niece Carol Ann Herren (Bruce) (Kona Hawaii), his brother in-law John Hoornaert (Lake Havasu), friends and caregivers Gloria and Jose Hernandez. No services will be held per Glenn's wishes. In lieu of flowers, feel free to donate to a charity of your choice in memory of Glenn.
