BySudhinThanawala TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO California'spol- icy of withholding weapons for 10 days from buyers who previ- ously purchased a gun and clear a background check before the state's waiting period is a reason- able safety precaution that does not violate the Second Amend- ment, a federal appeals court said Wednesday. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower-court deci- sion that found the law was un- constitutional when applied to existing gun owners and people with concealed-weapons permits who pass the checks before the 10-day waiting period.

Keller, who died in September due to cancer related complica- tions, was a beloved member of the school, said Anne Coelho, ad- ministrative secretary. The memorial tournament, for- merly called the Jingle Bell Tour- nament, was created by Keller four years ago, about a year after she became the athletic director for the school. The tournament is now named after her to honor her and her family, said Brian Me- deiros, the new athletic director and football and baseball coach. A Candi Keller Memorial Schol- arship has been set up to help stu- dents who want to attend Mercy but are not able to afford it. MERCY HIGH School to host memorial tournament By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tis The Season Community Food Drive was held Tuesday to collect food for the needy in the community. While rain may have kept some donors away and what was col- lected was down from the 2015 drive which brought in 28,000 pounds of food, it was still a great turnout, said Randy Aspillaga, pantry manager and case worker for the Red Bluff Salvation Army. The initial count of what was brought in Tuesday was 12,592 pounds of food. "We're off to a good start and the weather could have been worse," Aspillaga said. "We en- joyed having the fiddlers out here to perform for us." The Old Time Jam Band, a group of former Antelope Elemen- tary and Berrendos Middle school students who now play with Tex Ash, Rich Reynolds and Pat Scott of Loosely Strung, spent the eve- ning performing carols, from more traditional numbers like "Go Tell It On The Mountain" to tunes like "Frosty the Snowman." Participants included Lindsey Pho, Annie Freemyers, Madison Moore, Alexis Drum and Thomas Moore. Cal Fire made a large dona- tion and Red Bluff Fire Depart- ment helped with bell ringing and made sure Santa was avail- able to visit with children who stopped by.
