TEHAMA COUNTY Tona named Air Pollution Control Officer By Jessica Calefati Bay Area News Group RED BLUFF Sitting on a couch at his home in this farm town last week, Charles Erbert thumbed through a well-worn Bible to find the passage that captures his per- spective on the most emotionally charged issue on November's bal- lot: California's death penalty. "Scripture tells us not to kill, but it also tells us that he who strikes a man and kills him shall surely be put to death," said Er- bert, 65, whose pregnant wife and their unborn child were brutally slain in one of the Bay Area's most gruesome crimes. On a chilly Halloween night in 1984, William Michael Dennis donned a wolf mask to disguise himself as a trick-or-treater and used an 18-inch machete blade to slay San Jose resident Do- reen Erbert, his ex-wife, and the 8-month-old fetus she had con- ceived with Charles, her second husband. The Erberts' 4-year-old daughter, Deanna, hid behind a couch during the attack. Now 66, Dennis sits on the na- tion's largest death row at San Quentin State Prison, with more than 700 other inmates whose fate will be decided when voters consider two dueling death pen- alty initiatives. Death penalty ad- vocates say a death sentence is the only appropriate punishment for crimes as horrifying as Dennis'.

KARL MONDON — BAY AREA NEWS GROUP By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING Mayor Gary Strack proclaimed Oct. 2-8 as National 4-H Week in Corning during Tuesday's City Council meeting, and 4-H leader Cindy McClain accepted the proclamation with Corning 4-H members thank- ing the council for its contin- ued support of the clubs and the week. National 4-H Week is an an- nual event dedicated to clubs across the nation in celebration of the organization and to pro- mote local clubs, boost enroll- ments and celebrate the youth that participate in it. During the week, 4-H show- cases the great things that 4-H offers young people and high- lights the youth in the commu- nity, who work each day to make a positive impact in Tehama County, McClain said. "We love getting our youth in- volved and becoming a part of the community, going out and helping others and learning from new experiences and chal- lenges," McClain said. "That's what 4-H is all about." The clubs thrive to develope citizenship, leadership and all- around life skills in the youth of the community. The 4-H clo- ver represents the program's fo- cus on head, heart, hands and health. The first club in the county was in Corning in 1920, McClain said. Members in the Corning area have been recording songs at a Chico recording studio to create a CD as part of their proj- ect this year. There are two 4-H clubs in Corning and 12 clubs altogether in the county. They include An- telope, Bend Jelly, Bowman, Corning, El Camino, Flournoy Paskenta, Lassen Colony, Los Molinos, Manton, Olive, Plum Valley and Westside 4-H clubs. The 4-H organization pro- vides programs through a wide range of delivery modes including clubs, after school programs, camps and school enrichment, according to the proclamation. More than 391 youth and 122 adult volunteers participated in the Tehama County 4-H youth development program this year. There are many different ways to promote 4-H clubs dur- ing the week such as wearing green each day of 4-H week and making signs or clover signs for the community to post up in support. The council voted unani- mously in favor of supporting Corning's 4-H clubs. Strack proclaimed the week in recognition of the efforts of all of the participants in the 4-H educational program.
