Serving in the armed forces requires being a special type of person, one who understands that price of duty when they put on the uniform and that the interests of the nation always come first, he said. "As a World War II Veteran, I salute the members of today's armed forces and their families," Bowen said. "Today's military service is very different. It requires great courage, incredible bravery and endurance. They have experienced the horrors of war, yet they endure it. It is a deep devotion to country and duty that gives them strength." fices veterans and their families have made not just on Veterans Day, but every day, he said.

But Friday's mass poi- soning at an assisted-liv- ing facility near Sacra- mento, Calif., was shock- ing in its scope — two dead, four others sick- ened, including the care- giver who had prepared soup for residents using toxic wild mushrooms. Amateurs take a big risk when they harvest wild mushrooms, espe- cially when they serve the fungi to others, said Casey Jonquil, owner of Alpine Foragers in Portland, Ore., who certifies and sells up to 8,000 pounds of wild mushrooms a day.

Main St. The caller reported hearing glass break and seeing a man run across the street carrying some- thing. Officers arrived to the area and found three peo- ple walking together near Tucker's Automotive. Upon seeing the offi- cers, one person in the group, later identified as Kelly Moyer, ran toward the trailer park. Officers chased Moyer on foot through the trailer park. Kelly was eventual- ly caught but refused to comply with an officer's verbal commands to get down on the ground, according to a department press release. An officer struck Moyer once in the lower The Red Bluff Police Department caught a 23- year-old man Friday night who is believed to have been a person of interest in window smash burglar- ies around town. leg with a police baton. The suspect then gave up and was taken into cus- tody without further resis- tance. As Moyer was taken into custody, officers received a burglary alarm at Metro PCS at 216 S. Main St. Officers responded to find the front window of the business had been bro- ken with a large rock. Inside it appeared as if cash from the register and cell phones from a display case had been taken. Property located in Moyer's backpack matched the missing property from Metro PCS. Moyer had an active no bail warrant for his arrest and is a person of interest in similar window smash burglaries in Red Bluff. He was booked into Tehama County jail for commercial burglary, resisting arrest and for brining a controlled sub- stance into jail. His bail was $83,000.

For them to have made the error there is really unbelievable,'' said Raymond Carlile, whose mother lived there for three years. The names of the other victims have not been released, and Carlile fears the list could include the caretakers with whom he had become close while his mother was alive. ''They did such a good job for my mother. This is a very nice residential home. I'm concerned for everyone, but especially Raisa, who put her entire life into that place, and it's now probably destroyed,'' Carlile said. 7 5 8 5 5 1 6 9 0 0 1 9 See DEATHS, page 9A Daily News photo by Chip Thompson World War II veterans, in foreground, from left, Jack Gassel of Red Bluff, Jim Jobe of Corning and Ernie Stanford and Raymond Mott, both of Red Bluff, stand for a round of applause Sunday morning at the Red Bluff Veterans Hall during the annual Veterans Appreciation Breakfast, sponsored by the Downtown Red Bluff Business Association.
