On January 1, 2026, our family experienced an unimaginable loss when Sean Allen Jr. was taken from us during a violent incident in Chico, California. Sean was an incredible father, son, brother, cousin, and friend.
The CAPE systems and courses to help you and your school age children to learn the crucial skills absolutely needed to protect kids from unsafe situations.
At CAPE, our goal is to empower parents, caregivers, providers, and school-age children by raising awareness about the threats facing families everywhere via online, and in-person courses and programs. We equip you with practical knowledge, tools, and skills to effectively teach your children how to protect themselves from these dangers. Every child deserves to be safe!
Reports show an average of 16% annual growth in child abductions and missing reports in America. Sex trafficking has grown to become a massive business of over $150 billion a year competing with drug trafficking industry in every continent and country.
Kidnapping underage children is undoubtedly among the most atrocious crimes. It means seizing an underage kid and keeping them in captivity. Once abducted, children will be quickly moved out of the area and sold an average of 5 times a day for five to seven years before they are discarded.

What does this mean to you?
Property owners are responsible for keeping their property fire safe. In the letter, "hazardous vegetation" just means any dry brush or weeds on your property, or combustible vegetation such as scotch broom.
Here is a summary of requirements that apply to all parcels in Town:
• Removal of hazardous vegetation within 100 feet of any
structure, including those on adjoining parcels
• Immediately around all structures must be kept free of
combustible materials, including firewood
• Parcels 1.5 acres or less require removal of hazardous
vegetation on the entire parcel
• Parcels larger than 1.5 acres require removal of hazardous
vegetation 30 ft. from all property lines

Residents of Butte, Lake, Mendocino and Yuba who suffered damage or losses from the devastating fires that began October 8, 2017 and continue to burn, can now register for disaster assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), if they are able to do so.
The amendment to the presidential disaster declaration of October 10, 2017 now makes federal assistance available to eligible individuals and business owners in a total of six northern California counties: Butte, Lake, Napa, Mendocino, Sonoma and Yuba.
Survivors who primarily reside in one of the six designated counties can apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by phone at 800-621-3362 or (TTY) 800-462-7585. Applicants who use 711 or Video Relay Service may call 800-621-3362. The toll-free numbers are open 7am to 10pm seven days a week.
Applicants will be asked for the following information:
• Social Security number
• Address of the damaged primary residence
• Description of the damage
• Information about insurance coverage
• A current contact telephone number
• An address where they can receive mail
• Bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit of funds
Disaster assistance for homeowners and renters may include grants to help pay for:
• Temporary housing
• Essential home repairs
• Uninsured and underinsured personal property losses
• Other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance.
Low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are available for businesses of all sizes, private non-profit organizations, homeowners and renters. Disaster loans cover losses not fully compensated by insurance or other recoveries.
FEMA grants do not have to be repaid. FEMA assistance is nontaxable and will not affect eligibility for Social Security, Medicaid or other federal benefits.
Registering with FEMA is required for federal aid, even if a survivor has registered with another disaster-relief organization, such as the American Red Cross.
Survivors should register even if they have insurance. FEMA cannot duplicate insurance payments, but underinsured applicants may receive help after their claims have been settled.

NVCSS CASA will be holding two CASA training sessions in early 2018.
Training in Shasta County [Redding] begins on Wednesday, January 10 and will be held in the CASA Center at NVCSS at 2400 Washington Avenue.
Butte County training [Chico] begins on Thursday, February 1 and will take place at
our office in Chico.
CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes. Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives. CASA volunteers are definitely superheroes for the work they do for these children!
