In addition to Sunday’s event, the statewide cam- paign is intended to create a permanent scholarship fund to help students in greatest need. In a rare opportunity for public education, the Bernard Osher Foundation has announced a 50 percent match of all money donat- ed to the scholarship fund, increasing the value of recovered from either of the robberies, and officials have said they suspect Taylor gambled it away at casinos.

Power out in part of Sacramento’s airport SACRAMENTO (AP) — Electricians at Sacramento International Airport are trying to find the source of a power outage that’s forced the closure of a security screen- ing station at the airport. Airport spokeswoman Gina Swankie says the outage in a section of Terminal B, one of two terminals at the air- port, hit around 5:30 p.m. Friday. Swankie says departing passengers at the terminal were being directed to another Transportation Security Admin- istration screening station where the power was still on. The source of the outage has not been determined, and Swankie could not say when the power would be restored. The outage does not appear to be having a significant impact on airport operations, with the Federal Aviation Air reporting departures at the airport are being delayed by 15 minutes or less. Reeds Creek rodeo 2nd Sikh man dies after attack in NorCal SACRAMENTO (AP) — The death of an elderly Sikh man on Friday has turned the work of police into a double homicide investigation as they try to deter- mine whether a shooting in a Northern California sub- urb last month was a hate crime. Gurmej Atwal, who was 78, had lost the use of most of his organs after being gunned down in near Sacra- mento on March 4, his son, Kamaljit Atwal, told The Associated Press. His father had been on a ventilator and unable to talk for most of the time he had been in the hospital. “We are in a great grief,” Kamaljit Atwal said. But his father did speak briefly with Elk Grove police, who said he and his friend, Surinder Singh, might have been targeted because they wore turbans, which often are confused with the head coverings of Muslims. Singh, who was 65, died the day of the shooting. Police said Atwal gave a description of a suspect, which they would not release. Sgt. James Fuller said 1 killed, 1 wounded in Sacramento shooting SACRAMENTO (AP) — A 19-year-old has been shot to death and his 20-year-old brother hospital- ized with gunshot wounds after they apparently got in an argument with two other men in a north Sacramento parking lot. Sacramento police Sgt. Norm Leong tells the Sacramento Bee that the two were inside their car when they were approached by another two men on Thursday afternoon in the south Natomas neighbor- hood. He says the two parties apparently exchanged words, then either one or both suspects opened fire on the victims’ vehicle before fleeing in a truck. The 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. His brothers’ injuries are not thought to be life threatening. Neither victim has been identified.

Judge rejects water district dam project analysis OAKLAND (AP) — A judge has rejected a San Francisco Bay area water district’s analysis of a project to raise a dam in the Sierra. The judge said the analysis by the Oakland- his department is working overtime on current leads, but the description has been among the most useful. He called Atwal’s death “tragic.” “It just adds to the senselessness of the whole inves- tigation,” Fuller said. Atwal and Singh were shot during one of their regu- lar afternoon strolls together in the suburb just south of the state capital. The violence provoked repeated calls for tolerance from the community, which has collected $52,000 in reward money to go to anyone who provides informa- tion that would lead to an arrest. The shooting also was denounced on the floor of the state Legislature this week. Lawmakers, some wearing turbans as a sign of solidarity, attended American Sikh Day on Wednesday outside the Capitol. Atwal is survived by 10 grandchildren, four children and his wife, Balbir Kaur. He was born and raised in Punjab, India, before retiring and moving to the U.S. to live with his son. STATE BRIEFING based East Bay Municipal Utility District failed to identify the project’s potential environmental dan- gers. The ruling was made public on Thursday. The district approved the $6 million study of a project to raise the dam at Pardee Reservoir in 2009. The analysis concluded that the district would have to build a major desalination plant or raise the dam to meet its drought protection goals. Officials with the California Sportfishing Protec- tion Alliance, one of the plaintiffs, told the Contra Costa Times the district should have considered a less costly alternative. The district said because it had not actually pro- posed to build the dam, it did not have to fully iden- tify environmental damage. STROING Continued from page 1A crowds camped nearby or rented motels. After the rodeo, people would picnic outside on blankets. The fairgrounds were much smaller then, he said. The money is different too, he said. A winner’s purse of $3,000 used to be a big deal, a lot of money. Now, winners make much, much more. It costs more to compete and travel, too, Stroing said. This is the first year ever there won’t be a carnival associated with the Round-Up, he said. It used to set up downtown off Monroe Street. Stroing wasn’t a competitor, but he understood the life of cattle ranching. He used to drive cattle with a chuckwagon and crew on horseback up to the Mineral area. It took eight days of riding and camping to make it through Hogsback Road and into the hills. He stopped driving cattle and started trucking them when the freeway was put in, and when diesel trucks started to be used. Stroing lives on a 10-acre parcel his father passed on to him when he and his wife, Faye, were married. He went to school in Reeds Creek with other local cattle ranch- ers, including the Owens family and Bob Kerstiens, the recipient Satur- day of the President’s Award from the Round-Up Association. Stroing’s father grew up in the Dibble Creek area while his wife’s family lived in Westwood. Stroing’s grandfather was killed in a wagon accident hauling pipe in 1904. That’s when the family moved to the Reeds Creek area. Although things around him have modernized, the rodeo is about the same, Stroing said. “It’s an awful good rodeo yet,” Stroing said. “There are good peo- ple running it.” ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailynews.com.
