 The Redding California Good News Rescue Mission is on pandemic fire as Covid 19 ravages guests, staff, and volunteers. Redding Coalition for the homeless is proud to have shed the light on this local tragedy notifying news agency's of the situation, including the tragic death of one of their beloved  staff member Bill Hartman. When was the noticeably absent director of the mission Jonathan Anderson going to alert the community? Unfortunately I have personally seen after Mr Hartmans tragic death nobody wearing protective masks as homeless sat in tight groups, disregarding social distancing as well, and although administrators from the safety of their own home insist steps have been taking, it is just not the case. Even more troubling is as I understand Mr Hartman had Covid 19 for weeks, and came into contact with a multitude of community members as he was the point of contact to check ID's and hand out "Turkey bucks, and according to witnesses he was mask less...

  Interesting e mail exchange today !

Grashoff, I am forwarding you some emails received from Chris Solberg.  He is cc'd on this email.  We at Sundial Collective have no idea or knowledge of what he is asking for.  We have asked all of our employees if they have any knowledge of telling someone about Leo Coleman and they do not.  We have nothing we can do to further assist Chris Solberg so we have told him to contact you guys with any questions he has about this matter.

   Imagine if you will, you are heading up a facebook site seeking justice for one of the most heinous crimes ever to be covered up in Shasta County. Oh im not talking about the lynching of the Ruggles brothers or the multitude of other unsolved lynching's over the years here. I speak of the beating, torture and mutilation of a black man covered up some 23 years ago. "The mutilated body of 31 year-old Leo Coleman, Jr. of Redding, California was found hanging from a tree in the nearby town of Anderson by two teenage boys November 24, 1997. "Police reports document that Officer Ochoa received three separate ' reports from three different people on November 24, that Leo Coleman, Jr. was the victim of hanging by adherents of so-called "white pride" elements in the local community. On the day after Leo, Jr.'s death was reported, someone made a drawing of a hanging man and put it on Bobbi Culver, Leo, Jr.''s girlfriend's, front door." After re...

There is a tremendous push to stop drawing attention to this gruesome murder and those that are trying to reopen this cold case that never got the investigative attention it deserved. Miracles can happen, cases like this after all these years can be solved.

Oh the ignorance of a child, especially growing up during the 60s and 70s attending a school with 2 black people. One I barely remember, one I will never forget... It was a  common practice to draw names to exchange Christmas gifts, and I was excited to draw my buddy Mike F. Now I thought it was at the time very strange that Mrs. Nistler took me aside and asked,.....No pleaded not to tell the class his last name. My ignorance, my child like innocence still could not see why ? Mike F. was my friend, and he was quite funny which when I look back on it now I wonder was it a survival mechanism. Never the less he was funny and comical and I was drawn to a wonderful friendship. So it came time and I gave Mike F.  a book that opened up and there were rows of Lifesavers inside, I wonder if they still make those? Still not understanding, I blurted out his last name, and all hell broke loose. Mrs Nistler wacked the hell out of a kid named "Elvers" who instigated t...
