SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Northern California res- idents are bracing for gusty winds, rain and snow at high- er elevations, as a series of storms gets set to touch down. The rain and snow should begin falling Wednesday and continue through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Wind gusts could reach as high as 70 mph in coastal areas. ''There's an atmospheric river coming directly toward the coast,'' National Weather Service meteorologist Charles Bell told the San Francisco Chronicle. A flood watch has been issued for the Sacramento Valley, where areas that were burned in recent wildfires are particularly vulnerable to mudslides. There is also the potential for urban and small stream flooding along the North Coast, where meteorologists say some areas could see as much as 12 inches of rain over the five-day peri- od. could exceed 20 inches, according to the National Weather Service. The Sierras could see as much as 2 feet of snow. In eastern Butte and western Plumas counties, rainfall California's Emergency Management Agency warned of potential power outages from downed trees and encouraged residents to make preparations, including clearing rain gutters and trimming tree branches. Mark Ghilarducci, the agency's secretary, said in a statement that the agency was monitoring the storms and was ready to assist local response efforts. Still, other officials said they were not too worried at this point in the season. ''This would be the (season's) first significant, really wet storm over Northern California,'' Jeanine Jones with the state Department of Water Resources told the Sacra- mento Bee. There is room in reservoirs for additional water, she said, and the storms would replace soil moisture. leads to poaching arrests SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (AP) — Blood dripping from the back of an SUV led to the arrest of two Sacra- mento men accused of illegally shooting a deer, then stabbing it to death in their vehicle when it suddenly came to and began to struggle. The Tahoe Daily Tribune (http://bit.ly/Uqv35O ) reports 46-year-old Scott Lee and 32-year-old Nai Saechao were arrested Nov. 18 on poaching, animal cruelty and other charges. The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office says the Cal- ifornia Highway Patrol received multiple calls from people reporting blood seeping out of a Toyota SUV near Shingle Springs, a small community in the Sierra foothills 40 miles east of Sacramento. When authorities pulled over the vehicle, they found the deer carcass in the back. Officers say both men and the interior of the SUV were smeared with blood. Blood dripping from SUV Johnston tells the Spi- der Island crowd that they are not being asked to leave, although he sug- gests they seek higher ground.

Walking back from the island to a cleanup effort under the Antelope Boule- vard bridge, Sgt.

While it's rare Spider Island is overtaken with water even in the worst of floods, Johnston and those he's speaking to don't need to be reminded. In March 2011 three transients had to be res- cued by boat and heli- copter as the raging waters of the Sacramento River filled the slough. The hills and valleys of the area cre- ates turbulent waters that put not just the campers in danger, but those who come to rescue them. Next to the bridge a 30-foot hunk of an oak tree sits as a stark reminder of nature's powers.

Wilson said while liv- ing in the slough she did- n't realize the filth that was being left behind. The disease of addiction, she said, tricks your brain. "It takes over your "This is horrible," she During the last cleanup mind," she said, adding even when living indoors she would often make things worse during ben- ders when she believed she was making things better. Wednesday, November 28, 2012 – Daily News 7A Most of the heavy-duty Johnston, a fellow board- member, in case someone had a hard time dealing with the loss of what they call property or a home. "We're not trying to be the bad guys," Hernandez explains from a pickup trailer, where she has a jug of hot chocolate ready to serve to all those involved. Hernandez used the opportunity to bring up her belief that a permanent homeless shelter needs to be built in the area. Wilson agreed a perma- nent shelter would help, but adds that it would only work in conjunction with recovery programs. From her experience, she says everyone she has had con- tact with in the slough is either using alcohol or drugs. It may be easier to map out where each of the tran- sients live than figure out who owns what piece of property in the slough. Federal, state and local entities have pieces of jurisdiction in the area along with Durango, who was footing the bill for disposal fees. The city of Red Bluff owns part of the land, Caltrans controls an area as well. A large por- tion is set aside as U.S. Forest Service land, although the Bureau of Reclamation manages it. According to Johnston, Options that's led to a form of tug- of-war for control. no one wants the responsi- bility that comes with it. Johnston has high praise for his boss, Sheriff Dave Hencratt, for step- ping up to do something about the public safety problems that persist in the area. Although in this case work was done by an inmate work force, which Johnston said comes at no extra cost to the county since the inmates and supervisors would be working elsewhere any- way. Caltrans, private volun- teers and Air Pollution Control Officer Alan Abbs were also on hand. Cleaning out tons of garbage, months after a similar effort, leads to some obvious questions about whether there is a better way forward. Johnston says the department has tried other solutions. Leaving a per- manent trash bin in the area leads to cost concerns as well as fights between the homeless people over recyclables. An idea to hand out garbage bags didn't pan out when some of the recipients instead used them as clothing, while the ones who did pick up their garbage in the end upset the local businesses when they began using their trash bins to dispose of the trash. less, Tehama County's coalition to fight home- lessness, estimates there are around 100 transients living in and around Red Bluff. Poor And The Home- Johnston said he knows the homeless people aren't going to leave. "I wish we had a better solution, but we don't," he said. Since he took office, Hencratt has told Johnston there is a moral and legal responsibility the depart- ment must have in dealing with the area. It only takes a drive over the bridge to realize as much. As Wilson is given direction as to where to put her refuge, she runs into Tehama County Men- tal Health boardmember Jackie Hernandez. Hernandez was invited to be at the cleanup by familiar with Rodgers, who lives in the nearby Sacramento riverbed, the release said. Units from both departments searched the area for Rodgers but were unable to locate him.

"I love the river. Seeing garbage and stuff in it dri- ves me to no end," he said. The job of coordinating convinced Rodgers to meet a deputy at Red Bluff Gas. Several deputies were dispatched and Rodgers was arrested at 8:12 p.m. Monday. Tehama County Board of Supervisors were more willing to enforce the area as a waterfowl habitat, it would legally close the area to campers. Johnston said if the effort stretched on Tues- day, ideas for the future took a back seat to doing what could be done that day. But as the cleanup was one of the volunteers who donated his time and equipment. Rancher Larry Galper "I guess it's my way of participating in the com- munity to make it a better place," he said. "If we all just helped a little bit we could get it done." Rodgers was booked into the Tehama County Jail for assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. His bail was set at $80,000. 1958) THE PASSING PARADE (From Dave Minch's I Say column of January, I used to visit a friend of mine each Sunday after church. She was dying of cancer and knew that her case was hopeless. One Sunday, as I came into her hospital room, she asked if church was out already. I told her it was, but the minister, at the time, had a habit or running 15 to 30 minutes over each Sunday, and as I had lots of things to do, I didn't feel that I had the time to stay after 12 o'clock when he was supposed to conclude his service. She then told me something that I have repeated to others many times since. She said we always have time to do the things we enjoy doing. When I remonstrated, she asked me, if I were at a football game which was very exciting, would I leave 15 minutes before the end of the game just because the game had run 15 minutes longer than I expected and I did not have time to stay longer? And she also asked, if I had gone to a good movie (this was before television) and it was very interesting, would I get up and leave because it ran longer than I expected, or would I stay longer to see it to its conclusion? If you carefully think over the things you are asked to do, but have to decline because you just do not have the time, you may be surprised to find that you really declined because you did not want to do what was asked…and used time as an excuse *** We are led to believe that miracle drugs were discovered only in the last few years. However, the mineral waters at Tuscan Springs were advertised to cure rheumatism, dropsy, neuralgia, liver complaints, dyspepsia, catarrh, ulcers, ague, St. Vitus Dance, poison oak and female trouble. Penicillin today could hardly claim more. Anyone who has had the same dog for 13 years as I have, knows that dogs can talk just as well as people and sometimes better than some. Of course, they don't use words but use expressions, body language and sound to make themselves understood. My dog Piff came huffing and puffing back to me a few days ago after a fruitless pursuit of a jack rabbit. She sat down, and after catching her breath, said to me, "Those blanket blank rabbits run a lot faster than they used to." There was no use in my telling her that over the years she might have slowed down, than to explain to those who are always complaining that children are a lot faster and wilder than they were years ago. *** Dave Minch 1900-1964 The Passing Parade is brought to you by by Minch Property Management, 760 Main Street specializing in commercial leasing and sales. 530 527 5514
