Scarcello, 42, of Anderson, was charged recently with receipt of child pornography, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced. According to the indictment, Scarcello used a file- sharing program, between April and June, to download multiple movies depicting the sexual exploitation of children. He was arrested July 25 after agents executed a fed- eral search warrant at his residence and discovered CDs and DVDs containing sexually explicit images and videos of children, according to court documents. According to the search warrant affidavit, suspicions about Scarcello first arose after investigators deter- mined that he had engaged in computer chats with Michael Arnett, a previously charged suspect in Kansas. Between August 2010 and March 2012, Scar- cello and Arnett allegedly discussed in computer chats the abuse of child victims. for child pornography Special to the DN This case is the product of an ongoing investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Assis- tant United States Attorney Matthew Morris is prose- cuting the case. Friday's charges are part of an ongoing HSI-led investigation that originated in Boston. In 2010, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts and HSI Boston arrested and convicted Robert Diduca on child pornography production charges. Forensic analysis of Diduca's computer led investigators to the Netherlands where a Dutch national was arrested and charged with production, distribution, and possession of child pornography, as well as the sexual assault of 87 minors. Since that time, a worldwide network of offenders has been, and continues to be, unraveled, including today's defendant. Defendants and victims continue to be identified around the world. To date, more than 140 children have been rescued and 43 perpetrators arrested worldwide as a result. Scarcello was arraigned Friday before U.S. Magis- trate Judge Edmund F. Brennan and entered a not guilty plea. His next court appearance is set for Sept. 21 before U.S. District Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. If convicted, Scarcello faces a penalty of five to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.The sentence, if convicted, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory sentencing factors and the Federal Sentencing Guide- lines, which take into account a number of variables. The charges are only allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Man arrested after chase By JULIE ZEEB DN Staff Writer A 48-year-old Corning man led Corning Police on a brief pursuit, resulting in a crash just after 10 p.m. Sat- urday, Aug. 18, following a failed attempted traffic stop on Corning Road at Barham Avenue. Someone reported to Corning Police at 10:12 p.m. that a dark colored Chevy Blazer, last seen heading north on Barham Avenue, tried to run her off the road. An officer responded to reports of a reckless driver and located a blue Ford Explorer in the area of Barham and Samson avenues and tried to make a stop. The driver failed to yield and led officers on a two- mile pursuit both on and off road before colliding with a fence at 10:18 p.m. in the 22200 block of O Avenue in Corning, according to a Corning Police press release. Officers contacted the driver and sole occupant of the Ford, Keith Edward Staudinger, who was taken into custody without any further problems. Staudinger, who is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content high- er than 0.08 percent, was found to be in possession of a bag containing 0.3 grams of methamphetamine, the release said. Staudinger, who had a minor cut on his forehead, was medically cleared and submitted a blood sample to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital before being booked into Tehama County Jail. He was booked on the charges of DUI Alcohol/Drugs, DUI Alcohol with blood alcohol con- tent of 0.08 percent, possession and transportation of a controlled substance and evading a peace officer with disregard for safety.

Supes to discuss Probation site By RICH GREENE DN Staff Writer The Tehama County Board of Supervisors this morning will dis- cuss whether or not to approve the use of Wetter Hall as a Department of Probation day reporting center beginning Nov. 1. The plan developed by the Com- munity Corrections Partnership would cost $40,000 to start up and $870,400 in annual costs. It is intended the complete cost would be supported by AB 109 funding. Public Guardian and Public Administrator offices in Wetter Hall would be moved to the first floor of the purchasing offices in the Tehama County Administrative Building under the plan. The move would cost $2,500 and would be paid out of the general fund. The reporting center would require the creation of 11 full-time equivalent positions. A variety of rehabilitative pro- grams would be offered at the site, which would also lessen the burden on the county jail. Groups that already use the site, including 4-H and election polling, would still be able to access Wetter DN Staff Writer For Tehama County resident Shannon Nason, not having fireworks for another Fourth of July was not something she wanted to see again. year's canceled show, Nason has helped form and will be the chair- woman for the Tehama County Fireworks Com- mittee. "It's a great tradition to share with my son," Nason said. "We had gone the year before to the cel- ebration on the fourth and I was planning to go this year with my 3-year-old until I found out that Mon- day there were none." Nason said she was dis- appointed and went online to the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce site seeking answers as to why there had been no fireworks and was sad to see all the com- ments people left were negative. In response to last to help work on bringing the fireworks back and from there ended up get- ting in touch with Mark Eidman, Tehama District Fairground CEO, who has been involved with the fireworks the last few years, Nason said. "Mark got a hold of me and we Facebooked a few times before we met and he gave me a history on the fireworks," Nason said. "I saw there was a need to get people togeth- er and I just want the com- munity to be informed as to what's happening." The cost of the fire- work show was a bit astounding at $25,000- 30,000, she said. "I don't have $100 (to Hall under the plan.

Anyone interested is welcome to join the newly formed Tehama County Fireworks Committee, but even if they can't, they can do their part by spreading the word and donating as much as they are able to, she said. "It'd be great if every- one donated what they could, whatever the amount," Nason said. "It all adds up and we all have to take responsibility for the Fourth and the fire- works, if we want them." So far the group has made some connections through its Facebook page, Nason said. "It's really been on fire "I found out part of the reason (there were no fire- works) was there wasn't enough people getting involved," Nason said. "I thought, 'why aren't these people willing to help?' There was no one looking into how to make it better for next year. Then I thought, 'why am I not offering to help?'"

Bill would give Calif. cyclists 3-foot approved SB1464 Mon- day, which would require motor vehicle drivers to stay three feet from cyclists in most cases. Drivers would be allowed to cross double solid yel- low lines to provide bicy- clists enough room. Opponents of the bill by Sen. Alan Lowenthal, a Long Beach Democrat, argued that it would give bicyclists a false sense of security. Gov. The Assembly Brown vetoed a similar bill last year. The new legislation would allow fines of at least $35 for drivers who Jerry contribute), but I do have $2," Nason said. "I looked at $25,000 to $30,000 and thought that's a lot of money. Then I looked at the pop- ulation of Red Bluff and at 14,000, you double that and it's what we need. If everyone got involved and we broke it down it would work and that's just Red Bluff." Nason said if you add other places in Tehama County that might be will- ing to attend, such as Ger- ber, Los Molinos and Corning, it would be even easier to raise funds.

Assembly approves bill to allow multiple and everyone's really excited about it," Nason said. "Most people want fireworks because it's such a traditional aspect of Fourth of July. Both Lake Red Bluff and the boat races are already gone. It would be so sad to lose this too because no one wanted to run the committee. Personally, I just wanted to be involved." Nason is new to the community, having only lived in Red Bluff for two years, but she loves that the people are more friendly than any of the other places she has lived and always willing to help.

The legislation by Sen. Mark Leno, a San Fran- cisco Democrat, would allow judges to legally recognize multiple par- ents when it is in a child's best interest to have more than two parental relationships. Opponents say the bill erodes traditional parental roles. It would not change existing stan- dards for legal parent- hood, only the number of parents a court can recognize.

From there, the group will decide what route it will use to collect the money, with donations being posted on Facebook to help with transparency, and where the fireworks show will be held, she said. Having heard people requesting it be held at the fairground with others seeking to have it return to Red Bluff River Park, Nason said the committee intends to happy wherever the event takes place. "As long as we have it, Nason said she will be I don't see why it mat- ters," Nason said. "It's about creating a tradition for my son. This is some- thing for the county. This committee is for them. Not for us to tell them what to do. We want them to vote so we know what they want. What we are deciding is how to get the information to the peo- ple."
