At least two people were taken to St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, one with serious injuries and one with nonserious injuries, Asst. Sheriff Phil Johnston said. A witness reported seeing a red pickup leaving the area at the time she heard gunshots. It might seem impossible, but the Tehama County Community Action Agency says it is mastering doing more with less. During a presentation to the Tehama County Board of Supervisors Tuesday the community action partnership trumpeted its achievements during the past three years. Part of that success, according to Program Manager Amanda Sharp, started when Charlene Reid took over as Tehama County Social Services Director in October 2008. Reid brought with her a belief that there may be ways to apply business theory into health and social services. "That's the vision of the leadership of the organization — to recognize someone with an MBA might be useful," Sharp said. The agency is starting to show results. One example is the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which offers free on-site tax preparation and referral services to lowincome families and individuals.

Rosenau, 46, of Redding, to 15 months in prison for mail fraud in a fraudulent investment scheme. Rosenau was also ordered to pay restitution to the victims identified in his plea agreement. According to the plea agreement, Rosenau was employed with Rosenau Investments Inc. (RII), a real estate investment company founded and run for years by his parents. RII was a hard-money lender, specializing in short-term loans for real estate rehabilitation in anticipation of sales of the rehabilitated properties. RII obtained the money for loans from individual investors tied to specific properties. Investors were paid from monthly payments by borrowers or when a property was sold. RII told its investors that it did not loan money on properties with a loan to value ratio of over 70 percent and that it maintained a lien on the properties in a primary position. According to court documents, in or around January 2008, Rosenau told investors that RII was doing well and not having problems collecting money from its borrowers, in spite of the fact that most properties were in arrears and many had been foreclosed upon, in an effort to obtain new investment funds. The funds were not used for new investments, but were paid to other investors and used by Rosenau. This case was the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Redding Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Jean Hobler and Special Assistant United States Attorney Nicholas Fogg prosecuted the case.

(AP) — The Oregon- born wolf looking for a mate in the wilds of Northern California has moved to lower ground as winter approaches. California Department of Fish and Game program manager Karen Kovacs told The Oregon- i a n (http://bit.ly/XA8mPt) that winter storms lashing the high country south of Lassen Peak have forced deer to lower elevations, and the wolf known as OR-7 has followed. His satellite-tracking collar has shown him in oak-chaparral woodlands east of Red Bluff, Calif. Kovacs said this is his first foray into that kind of habitat. The wolf gained celebrity after leaving its home ground in northeastern Oregon more than a year ago and journeying hundreds of miles across eastern Oregon, down the Cascade Range to Northern California in See WOLF, page 9A Unemployed due to Closure or Layoff?
