ByFenitNirappil TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO California'swater board said Tuesday that February was the worst month for conser- vation since officials began track- ing savings efforts nine months ago in response to the state's his- toric drought. Figures reported by local wa- ter departments showed state- wide reductions of just 3 per- cent in February compared with baseline numbers, despite follow- ing the driest January on Califor- nia record. The dismal savings come as cit- ies brace for mandatory water re- strictions.

Tyler Burrone of Fort Jones en- tered his plea Monday in Tehama County Superior Court, said Aus- tin Neimen, deputy district attor- ney with the Tehama County Dis- trict Attorney's Office. Burrone, a former California State University, Chico student, is scheduled to be sentenced on May 18. The District Attorney's Office alleges that Burrone had been texting in the moments before he rear-ended a Nissan Maxima carrying Katie Ramsey and her 5-year-old son, Gunner Langen- derfer, on State Route 99E. The plea calls for Burrone to face jail time, five years of pro- bation and 120 hours of community service, Nei- man said. It's also said that the plea calls for Burrone to give 10 presen- tations on the dangers of texting while driving at schools in Tehama, Butte and Siskiyou counties, and a letter of apology to Gunner's parents. Burrone changed his not guilty plea during a pretrial conference. A jury trial had been scheduled to begin later this month. On July 24, 2013, Burrone, who was southbound on SR 99E in a Ford F-250 pickup truck, report- edly struck the Nissan from be- hind, forcing it into the north- bound lane, where it was struck LOS MOLINOS Burronepleadsnocontest FortJonesmanfacesjailtime,probationforfatal2013wreck By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter RED BLUFF Thursday's Cow- boy Coffee event at Red Bluff Dodge kicks off the communi- ty's 11 Days of Round-Up cele- bration as Red Bluff prepares to host its 94th annual rodeo.

The free event, which will feature a full breakfast, will be held 7:45-9 a.m. at Red Bluff Dodge, 545 Adobe Road. The public can mingle with the Red Bluff Round-Up Associ- ation and representatives from the chamber will speak about upcoming festivities and an- nounce winners of the Round- Up business decorating contest. Chamber CEO Dave Gowan said more than a dozen busi- nesses took part in this year's contest. "It really ties in and knits the theme together for the whole 11 days of Round-Up," Gowan said. This year's theme is "Leg- ends and Legacy of the Round- Up." The community favorite Chili Cook Off is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in downtown Red Bluff. Gowan said he anticipates this year's accompanying car show will also be impressive. A new event his year is Red Bluff Sunrise Rotary's Dinner and Dance 6-10 p.m. Sunday at The Rustic Rose. The event fea- tures a dinner, country music DJ and auctions. Gowan said he anticipates this year's Chamber-Cattle- men's Round-Up Mixer sched- uled for April 16 at the Reyn- olds Ranch & Farm Supply may be one of the largest crowds ever for the event. Chad Bushnell is scheduled to perform with his full band. "A lot of that has to do with how popular Chad has gotten in the region and also nation- ally," Gowan said. The 61st Annual Round-Up Parade is scheduled for 10 a.m. April 18. The parade is being post- humously dedicated to Allie Clough, one of the early found- ers of the Round-Up.
