JULIEZEEB—DAILYNEWS Bend-Jelly 4-H member Maryn Spangler talks to her goat, Red, on her final day as an exhibitor. CHIP THOMPSON — DAILY NEWS The carnival, pictured here Saturday night, remained a popular draw for visitors to the Tehama District Fair. ByHeatherHoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The 2015 Tehama District Fair preliminary num- bers are in and the fair atten- dance and overall revenues have increased compared to the 2014 fair. The ticket sales at the gate in- creased by more than $22,000, according to Fair CEO Kelley Ferreira. Ticket sale revenue at the gate was $90,672 this year, up from $68,001 in 2014. The final numbers, including all pre-sale tickets, were not yet available, fair officials said. Ticket prices were raised by $2 for this year, from $8 for adults and $3 for children, to $10 and $5 respectively. The number of those who at- tended the fair this year was higher than in 2014 by nearly 1,200 people, Ferreira said. There were 11,403 people who walked through the gates this year com- pared to 10,212 in 2014. Rain on the first day of the fair in 2014 kept numbers low, but admission on opening day is $1 for adults and free for children 12 and younger, so the impact was seen to numbers more than bottom line, Ferreira said. Even with the ticket price in- crease, the fair was able to draw good numbers.

RED BLUFF HIGH Homecoming week activities planned By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The local California Highway Patrol office is getting prepared to bring back the Start Smart classes for young drivers with a focus this time on the new drivers for which the class was initially intended. Within the last three years, Te- hama County has had seven fa- talities involving drivers ages 19 and younger, said CHP Public In- formation Officer Troy Somavia. All of these were due to unsafe speed or unsafe turning move- ments, which are preventable and discussed in the one night class. This class was originally de- signed for the 15-and-a-half-year- old that is just getting a permit, but most recently it has been used for young drivers who have received a ticket for various rea- sons. TEEN DRIVERS CHP to hold Start Smart classes By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The month of Oc- tober has been nationally rec- ognized as Domestic Violence Awareness month and, locally, Al- ternatives to Violence is hosting multiple events to support those affected by domestic violence in the community. "(It is) a time when we reach out to our community to increase awareness of domestic violence and the many ways it impacts our lives, our homes and our commu- nity," said Jeanie Spurr, executive director. Since 2011, Alternatives to Vi- olence has offered counseling for adults and children through a trauma informed approach that focuses on healing, Spurr said. The organization is here to sup- port, empower and assist individ- uals and families who have been affected by domestic abuse. "It is all about awareness of the issue of domestic violence, its victims and survivors, along with support for Alternatives to Violence your local domestic vi- olence agency," said Linda Dick- erson, associate director. "We in Tehama County experience do- mestic violence on a commu- nity level, in our families, our schools and our work places. The month highlights how we should all be aware and involved." Tehama County has twice as many domestic violence calls than the state average, Spurr said. A fundraiser will be hosted by Loyal Order of Moose at Satur- day that will include live music, a breakfast and lunch. The event is open to the public and will be held at the Moose Lodge at 11745 State Route 99W. A candlelight walk will take place at the Tehama County Su- perior Courthouse lawn at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7 to remember those who have lost their lives to domestic violence, as well as many survivors and those in abu- sive relationships. State Sen. Jim Nielson will be speaking at the event and the Young Marines will present the flag and color guard. Prime Cinema in Red Bluff will donate 15 percent of proceeds from concessions on Oct. 12 to Alternatives to Violence. The organization's tenth an- nual Trivia Night will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Red Bluff Community Center. All pro- ceeds from the night will go to Al- ternatives to Violence to provide services for those affected by do- mestic violence. There will be a silent auction and a concessions stand with ta- bles of 8 people available for $120 and individual tickets are $20. Throughout the month of Oc- tober Alternatives to Violence will be looking for volunteers and accepting applications. For more information and to purchase "No more" T-shirts, visit atvrb.org.
