Local market to match community donations
By lcnnews on Thursday, May 15 @ 11:50:21 PDT
|
May 21, 2008--The Carrigan Family Fund is a new donation program being sponsored by Holiday Quality Foods in Chester, Calif., to assist mom, Jodie Carrigan, with mounting expenses.
Manager Bridgett Bustamante said May 15 that whether customers choose to donate in store shopping “WOW points” or cash contributions, either form of donation may be made at any checkstand in the store.
When asked why the store started the donation program she said, “Both of the kids worked for us; we were their stepping stone to the world of real employment.”
She also said, “There are many people in the community that would like to give but don’t know how—this program really opens up the opportunity for them to give and we are here to help.”
She said the idea for the Carrigan Family Fund came from Holiday Quality Foods owner Ritchie Morgan.
“It is so much more than just a place to give. Ritchie has said he will match every community donation that comes through the store,” she said. “This is a first for our owner. We know he was tremendously impacted by this tragedy.”
She said cash contributions would be matched dollar for dollar.
Contributions of WOW points will be at the donation exchange rate of $5 for every 500 points and $10 for every 1,000 points.
She said that all proceeds received at the story would go directly to the Carrigan family.
She also said the receipts returned to the customers are clearly marked “donation” and may be saved for tax purposes.

Local hospital establishes memorial fund to assist with death expenses
By lcnnews on Thursday, May 15 @ 11:48:51 PDT
|
May 21, 2008--Seneca Healthcare District board member Mike Willhoit announced today, May 13, that the Carrigan Memorial Fund has been officially established.
He said the purpose of the fund “is to provide Jodie Carrigan with financial support for the myriad of expenses she is likely to encounter.”
Officially named Joanne Carrigan, she has been employed as an accounting clerk for the district since June 1998.
The myriad of expense referenced by Willhoit are the result of Carrigan’s loss of a son, Billy, and a daughter, Jenny, within a two-day period, May 11-13.
Daughter Jenny was the victim of a homicide May 11 and her brother, Billy, suffered major head injuries when involved in a single-vehicle accident the same day. Billy succumbed to his injuries May 13.
Donations should be made payable and mailed to the:
Carrigan Memorial Fund, Attn: Marie Stuersel, P.O. Box 737, Chester, CA 96020
For more information, call Chief Executive Officer Doug Self at 258-2067.

Double murder suspect held without bail
By lcnnews on Thursday, May 15 @ 11:47:33 PDT
|
May 21, 2008--Judge Ira Kaufman ruled this afternoon that slaying suspect Reyes Carrillo-Garcia, 18, should be held without bail since he is being charged with two counts of murder, a capital offense.
Each count carries an enhancement for use of a deadly weapon. District Attorney Jeff Cunan has also charged Carrillo-Garcia with one count first-degree burglary and an allegation of special circumstances.
The charges make Carrillo-Garcia eligible for the death penalty or life with no chance of parole, if convicted.
Security was heavy and tight at the Plumas County Courthouse in Quincy. Those entering the courtroom had their bags searched and had to pass through a metal detector, a protocol usually reserved for high-profile cases.
The number of sheriff’s deputies and plainclothes detectives outnumbered civilians in the courtroom.
An expressionless Reyes-Carrillo entered the courtroom in shackles and a bulletproof vest. He spoke softly, with his eyes downcast except when Kaufman spoke directly to him.
Carrillo-Garcia told Kaufman that he did not have the funds to hire a lawyer. Quincy attorney Doug Prouty is currently representing him.
Prouty made no objection when Cunan asked for no bail, per penal code.
Prouty asked that the arraignment be continued to allow him more time with his client. Carrillo-Garcia agreed to waive his right to a speedy preliminary hearing to allow for the continuance.
Cunan did not object, so Kaufman continued the arraignment until 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 4.
