The massive rain and snowfall that prompted a rare blizzard warning in parts of the Sierra Nevada was helping much of North- ernCaliforniarecoverfroma six-year drought. The series of storms has also added 39 billion gallons of water to Lake Tahoe since Jan. 1. Mountains near Big Sur in Monterey County regis- tered more than 34 inches — nearly 3 feet — of rain since Jan. 2, according to the Na- tional Weather Service.

Animals FROM PAGE 1 By Alicia Caldwell and Amy Taxin TheAssociatedPress WASHINGTON Immigrant rights advocates are plan- ning demonstrations at doz- ensofralliesacrossthecoun- try this weekend in what theyarecallinga"firstsalvo" against President-elect Don- ald Trump's pledged hard line on immigration. Union leaders and young immigrants are organizing more than 50 protests and cultural events from Phila- delphia to Phoenix on Sat- urday with an aim toward highlighting the power of the immigrant rights move- ment. Immigrants living in the country illegally also hope the events will make it clear to the incoming ad- ministration that they don't plan to leave the country despite Trump's calls for a border wall, tougher immi- gration enforcement and mass deportations. "This is our first salvo to what may be a long, drawn out campaign," said Jorge- Mario Cabrera, spokesman fortheCoalitionforHumane ImmigrantRightsofLosAn- geles. The protests mark the lat- est chapter in a movement that has evolved consider- ably since 2006, when more than a million people took to the streets to protest a Republican-backed immi- gration bill that would have made it a crime to be in the country illegally. The bill was widely viewed as overly harsh and sparked a back- lash that culminated in massive May Day marches across the country. The crowds this week- end are expected to be no- where near as big as then, including rallies at a church in Washington and teachers' unionhallinChicago.InLos Angeles and San Jose, Cal- ifornia, groups are holding cultural events to show their support of immigrants and opposition to Trump's pro- posals. Times have clearly changedsince2006.Thepro- tests born of anger and frus- tration a decade ago with the immigration bill haven't beenrepeatedinrecentyears as the playbook evolved and advocacy groups started making direct appeals to lawmakers and the presi- dent. After multiple propos- als failed in Congress, Presi- dent Barack Obama in 2012 launched an executive effort toprotectsomeyoungimmi- grants from deportation. The creation of the De- ferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, aimed at helping one of the loudest andmostsympatheticimmi- grant groups, was heralded as a good first step by advo- cates who hoped it would be a prelude toward overhaul- ing immigration laws. But that didn't hap- pen, and Republican-led states pushed back against Obama'splanstoexpandthe program. Now the focus is on the next administration, and the future of the move- ment seems as uncertain as Trump's plans. As a candidate, Trump promised his supporters stepped-updeportationsand a Mexican-funded border wall, but it is unclear which plans the celebrity business- man will act on first, and when. PROTESTS Immigrant groups to rally against Trump's planned crackdown ing program helping allevi- ate poverty or is the feed- ing program causing more harm than good? Has pro- viding meals solved a chal- lenge faced by homeless- ness or has it, by and large, simply continued and en- abled the cycles that bind people to poverty? The answers to these questions have been diffi- cult to find, but a quote in the Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert's book "When Help- ing Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor and Yourself" that explains the volunteers' thoughts on the program. "One of the biggest mis- takes that North American churches make, by far, is in applying relief in situa- tions in which rehabilita- tion or development is the appropriate intervention," the book states. Through programs like the Narcotics Anonymous, which meets 7-8 p.m. Thursday's at the Vineyard Church, Geraty hopes to bring change and help the homeless population de- crease through educational programs, job training pro- grams and many others for a more long-term effect than providing lunches of- fers. The program has been serving the homeless popu- lation or those in need since Sept. 25, 1995, when it was started by a group at Sacred Heart. The lunches were served at a women's club where the Vineyard Church was formerly located. In 1999 the Vineyard Church kitchen was con- structed and ready for the program to be placed to the new location on Walnut, said Vidaure, who's worked with the program from the beginning. Vidaure said there are a few places the volunteers are looking at to continue the program but had not found a permanent loca- tion as of Friday. "For a lot of us that is how we were taught and our belief is that we have to feed the hungry," Vid- aure said. "I think we all feel that way." Vidaure said the Vine- yard has been absolutely terrific and supportive since day one. He is grateful for all the church has done for his group and those in need. Geraty reiterates that this decision was made not because the church no lon- ger cares for the poor, or is unwilling to invest their re- sources toward the home- less popultion. "We care deeply about all people and want to ex- tend God's love in practi- cal ways," Geraty said. "We simply want to ensure that our acts of compassion pro- vide long-term and sustain- able help and avoid doing more harm than good. We thank the Lord's Table for all that they have done and sacrificed over the years and bless them as they con- tinue to serve the needy in our community." Geraty said that if any- one wants to participate in conversations about the goal of ending homeless- ness, hunger, substances abuse and poverty, they can call the church at 527-2449 or visit http://redbluffvine- yard.church/.
