It is not believed the residents were injured in the attempted robbery, the release said. It appears they were the victim of a robbery attempt and shot Farias and the other man during the attempt. Corning Police Officers secured a white truck, which transported the wounded man to the gas station, as evidence. A man who was re- ported to have been with the wounded man fled the scene on foot prior to offi- cers' arrival. He had not been identified as of 5 p.m. Tuesday. Through the investi- gation by the sheriff's of- fice it was believed the wounded man from the Chevron station and the man that fled the truck were involved in the home invasion robbery attempt with Farias, as witnesses saw a white truck leaving this area soon after shots were fired. Deputies and detectives from the Tehama County Sheriff's Office have been actively working the in- vestigation, assisted by criminalists from the California Department of Justice, air operations from the California High- way Patrol, agents from the Tehama Interagency Drug Enforcement Task Force and investigator's from the District Attor- ney's Bureau of Investi- gations. This is an ongoing in- vestigation and further information will be pro- vided as it is developed. Shooting FROMPAGE1 that's replicable?" Due to the program's success, CSAC will be pro- ducing a video and post- ing about the program on social media in order to help sister counties learn about the program, Cate said. "It's a program funded by the state that is a place for people to learn how to work a 40-hour-a- week job, how to earn a living wage and yet it's a safe place where you can make a mistake and still be invited back to work," Cate said. Roughly one-third of those who are in Cal Works programs are working to overcome some type of problem ranging from substance abuse and mental health issues to those who are domestic violence vic- tims or people with cog- nitive behavior problems, he said. In working in pa- role in his previous em- ployment experience, he learned sometimes the best way for people to get a good job is just to have a job, Cate said. "This program is one that well fit Tehama County," Cate said. "There are 20 percent now who work unsubsidized (by the program). It's a pro- gram that is needed and something rural counties can model. It's a wonder- ful program." Tehama County De- partment of Social Ser- vices Director Amanda Sharp thanked Cate and CSAC for the recognition of the program. "It takes an enormous amount of coordination and fast work to place the jobs and it's an amazing effort by those involved," Sharp said. "Thank you to Demetra Jones and Kathy Sarmiento of the Job Training Center. This all came out of a brainstorm and has just had unbe- lievable results. Most im- portantly, it's changing lives. We couldn't do it without program man- ager Tara Loucks-Shep- herd." This is the second challenge award Tehama County has received, said Tehama County Chief Ad- ministrator Bill Good- win and Tehama County Counsel Arthur Wylene was recognized by CSAC with the Circle of Service award. The Washington Street Production program, based out of 946 Wash- ington St., holds open houses about once a month during which time the public can buy items made by program partic- ipants. Open houses are advertised on the Wash- ington Street Productions Facebook page. Items are created by upcycling things dis- carded or donated by the community that are turned into artistic items such as paintings, string art, key racks, birdhouses and more. Members of the com- munity are encouraged to drop off smaller items 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mon- day through Friday or call and make arrangements for larger items. The group is able to, within budget and abilities, cre- ate custom orders for people. To donate, teach a class or place a custom order call 690-5797. Program FROM PAGE 1 has been volunteering as a trainer for 3 years with the group and was excited about the win, she said. "It was definitely the opportunity of a lifetime, getting to show these girls that hard work pays off," Lacey Zumalt said. "I was in tears, even before they took the stage, because I knew this would be the last time I would get to see them all together, do- ing their thing. Then I started crying again after they performed because I could tell them no matter what place they got, they already knew they were winners. I feel so privi- leged to say that hearing 'Your National Champi- ons Junior Spartans' are words I will never forget. I still can't grasp that this local organization was rep- resented so well in such a big way." The performance the girls gave was a result of a lot of hard work, said Head Coach Julie Zumalt. "These girls did not just pull it off or pull it together at the last minute," said Ju- lie Zumalt. "They had the potential all along and ev- ery one of these girls hold a special place in my heart." Assistant Coach Amanda Grames is incredibly proud of the girls, she said. "Honestly we've had such an amazing year," Grames said. "They are some of the most kind hearted, fun and hard- working girls I've ever met and I can't wait for another amazing season." If you ask the girls how they felt about the win Bay- lee Middleton describes it as awesome while Adi- lyn Grames said it made her feel amazing and she thinks the prayers said helped. For Anayah Magana, just getting to go was ex- citing enough, but winning made it an even better ex- perience, she said. "It felt like I won the lot- tery and there was lot's of excitement," said Denise Mojarro. "It was the first year of cheering for a lot of us, but all of the hard work paid off." Justice Sorrels, Ximena Chavez, Emma Doughty, Yaneli Chavez and Mi- lan Daniels said they felt proud and happy of the win and of the team. They also felt a bit surprised at the win. Nevaeh Chaffin and Elina Pettit said the win made all the hard work they put into getting to the competition worth it. "It was the most amaz- ing experience of my life," said Sierra Warren. " It felt like such a dream come true." Kimberly Nunez said she thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and loved getting to see other teams compete. "Going to Las Vegas and competing at a National Competition was amazing and hearing us announced as the National Champi- ons, going up on stage, and getting the jacket was a dream come true," said Jordyn Armstrong. Everyone from the coaches and parents to trainers sponsors, fami- lies, board members and the community played a role in getting the girls to competition and the group is grateful for the support, said Veronica Armstrong. "We can't thank them enough," Armstrong said. "Our girls were winners without the title and the jacket. Their hard work and amazing perfor- mance was winning and we showed our girls that hard work pays off with the payoff being this great experience. These talented young ladies took it a step further and won the Na- tional Title." Red Bluff Junior Spar- tan President Jeff Waddell is proud of the groups that competed, he said. "I would like to thank all the cheerleaders who competed at Jamz Nation- als in Las Vegas," Wad- dell said. "Your dedica- tion, hard work and love for cheerleading repre- sents our community with great pride. I would like to give special thanks to all the coaches, volunteers and sponsors who donated their time to help the girls compete in Las Vegas."

Competition FROM PAGE 1 officials could still discuss someone's previous arrests and convictions with im- migration agents. The legislation also seeks to limit immigration enforcement activity at schools, courthouses and shelters. Democrats said the bill is needed to protect peo- ple such as Victor Alvarez, a U.S. citizen who told the committee that his father was pulled over for a bro- ken taillight and deported hours later. "Since my dad was de- ported the whole family has been suffering," Al- varez said. "I had to put school on hold just to sup- port the family." San Francisco sued Trump on Tuesday, claim- ing the executive order that would cut funding from sanctuary cities is unconstitutional and a "severe invasion of San Francisco's sovereignty." The federal government cannot "put a gun to the head of localities," City Attorney Dennis Herrera said, arguing that the or- der violates states' rights and the law. San Francisco receives about $1.2 billion a year in federal funding for ser- vices that include housing, health and social services, and homelessness. The suit argues the city is safer when all people, including those who are living in the country ille- gally, feel safe reporting crimes. Later Tuesday, the state Senate Judiciary Commit- tee was expected to con- sider fast-tracked legisla- tion that would allow the state to spend an undis- closed amount of money to provide lawyers for peo- ple facing deportation. The debate over sanc- tuary cities escalated in 2015 after Kate Steinle, 32, was fatally shot in the back by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who was in the country illegally af- ter multiple deportations to his native Mexico. Lopez-Sanchez, who told police the gun fired by accident, had been re- leased from a San Fran- cisco jail despite a request from federal immigration authorities that he be held in custody for possible de- portation. Trump often cited the Steinle case dur- ing the presidential cam- paign. Many other cities and counties in California also refuse to detain im- migrants for deportation agents out of legal con- cerns after a federal court ruled that immigrants can't be held in jail be- yond their scheduled re- lease dates. Since then, federal agents have been asking local law agencies to pro- vide information about immigrants they're seek- ing for deportation, if not hold them. The California sanctu- ary legislation now goes to the Senate Appropriations Committee. It's unclear how it might fare if it reaches the As- sembly. Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, has resisted Trump's poli- cies, but the Assembly also has a bloc of moderate law- makers in swing districts who have balked at legis- lation favored by the more liberal Senate. "The Assembly will eval- uate the bill if and when it gets to our house," said Kevin Liao, a spokesman for Rendon.

You wouldn't believe it. His muzzle was shrouded in quills like frost on an Eskimo parka. He said it didn't hurt and he was going back down the creek to �inish the job."Oh no you don't" said I. "It's Dr. Bob for you, you jerk!" I called our veterinarian Bob Stoufer. It was 10 at night! "Are you in bed?" I asked. "Yes I am", he replied. "What's up? "You mean what's 'in'. "It's porcupine time down south!" "Oh my gawd!, he moaned. "Not again?" We piled both dogs (the Saint and his small black traveling companion, Mrs. Kennedy) into the pick up and headed for the Antelope Vet Hospital. Although her brain is smaller, it is evidently better wired because she had very few quills in her mouth. We put her on a table and as she was too small to resist, pulled out a dozen of so quills very quickly. Then we surveyed the Saint. Very big (175 lbs) and very muddy. "I'm wondering how you will get him on the table", said the missus"...and then how you will get him to hold still!" "We will" I shouted through clenched teeth, "even if if we have to get AAA to hoist him up!" But we did manage, with much grunting and groaning, to get him up on the table by ourselves...and Bob gave him a shot big enough to knock out a horse, which he is. We then went to work pulling quills. An hour and half later we had �illed up four pans that added up to hundreds and hundreds of quills! It was too late to count them exactly, but Bob promised not to charge by the quill! A few days later the Saint was as good as new...and was thinking of raising hell once again. And I was thinking of raising hamsters! … (From 1971) Jay Thiel's High School Marching Band almost stole the show last Friday night on Spartan Field! It is one of the largest and best sounding bands Red Bluff has ever had.With their intricate maneuvers on the �ield and their frantic num- bers in the stands (led by top notch trumpeter Anne Peters) they are a delight and certainly deserve a trip to Roseberg. As an ex-Carl Coleman band drummer, I Was going to suggest a faster cadence and shorter steps, but seeing as how they took �irst place, Jay knew what he was doing instructing such a worthy group! … So disappointing to go to a movie and look up in back to see kids with cigarettes glowing in the dark. It was once thought to stunt your growth. It is now known to stunt your life. Tsk, tsk.
