"As always, it is a joint venture between the Tehama County Cat- tlemen and the chamber," said Red Bluff-Tehama County Cham- ber of Commerce CEO Dave Gowan. "The Tehama County Cat- tleWomen will be preparing over 1,000 fajitas in anticipation of the crowd. We hope to have between 700 and 800 people fill the newly remodeled back area of Reynold's Ranch and Farm Supply." The event kicks off at 5:30 p.m. and is set to go until 10 p.m. with entrance badges sold for $10 each at The Loft, which is above Reyn- old's Ranch, and the Palomino Room on Main Street.

By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Expectations of bad weather moved the annual Red Bluff Rotary Tough Enough to Wear Pink barbecue fundraiser from the Growney Ranch to the Tehama District Fairground Tuesday, when community mem- bers gathered to raise money to combat cancer locally. "We hope to have a really good turnout," said event co-chair- woman Vicki Stroud. "We're ex- pecting about 400 people, which was our goal. Last year we were able to raise about $7,500 be- tween this event and tips at the beer sales booth. We'd like to get to $10,000 this year." The funds raised from the event stay local and this year's project is a 3-D mammogram machine, which is something both Stroud and volunteer Joyce Bundy said they are proud to support as both are breast can- cer survivors.

By Mike Householder and Mark Gillispie The Associated Press ERIE,PA. The man who randomly gunned down a Cleveland retiree and posted video of the crime on Facebook killed himself Tuesday during a police chase in Pennsyl- vania that began when a McDon- ald's drive-thru attendant recog- nized him. It marked a violent end to the nearly 48-hour multistate man- hunt for Steve Stephens, whose case brought another round of criticism down on Facebook over how responsibly it polices objec- tionable material posted by users. Acting on a tip from the Mc- Donald's, Pennsylvania state troopers spotted Stephens leaving the restaurant in Erie and went after him, bumping his car to try to get it to stop, authorities said. He shot himself in the head after the car spun out of control and came to a stop, police said. "This started with one tragedy and ended with another person taking their own life," said Cleve- land Police Chief Calvin Williams. "We would have liked to have brought Steve in peacefully and really talked to him about why this happened." Stephens, a 37-year-old job counselor who worked with young people, was wanted on murder charges in the killing of Robert Godwin Sr., 74, a former foundry worker and father of 10 who was picking up aluminum cans on Sunday when he was shot. The chilling video was on Face- book for three hours before it was taken down. It was just the latest instance of crime footage being shared on social media. At a Silicon Valley conference Tuesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg briefly addressed the Cleveland case, saying Facebook has "a lot of work to do" and "we will keep doing all we can to pre- vent tragedies like this." Police would not speculate on what was behind the killing, but in the video and other footage he posted, Stephens talked about losing everything he had to gam- bling and having trouble with his girlfriend. He said he "just snapped." One of Godwin's daughters, Debbie Godwin, said she wished Stephens had been captured. "I'm not happy he's dead at all, not at all. If you did it, you have to face your crime," she said. The break in the case came when police received a tip that 48-HOUR MANHUNT Fa ce bo ok killer takes hi s ow n li fe a s police close in By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama County Public Works Department is working with the city on a bridge deck rehabilitation project on Jackson Street, near Jackson Heights Elementary School. There are 11 other bridges in the county to be upgraded as well throughout this year. The Bridge Preventative Main- tenance Program will clean, seal and resurface the bridge decks at the Reeds Creek and Brick- yard Creek crossings on Jack- son Street, said Gary Antone, Tehama County Public Works director. This is a county project as part of an upgrade to several bridges in the county, including some within Red Bluff, said City Man- ager Richard Crabtree. Bridge maintenance activities throughout Tehama County in- clude cleaning bridge deck sur- faces, applying methacrylate or concrete crack sealant, polymer sealant, polyester concrete over- lay, removing of asphalt surfac- ing, replacing joint seals and assemblies, reconstructing ap- proach slabs, repainting metal support beams and placing pave- ment markings and striping, ac- cording to the projects plans. The construction on all bridges included is expected to be com- pleted by December. The estimated cost of the re- pairs to the Brickyard Creek Bridge is $30,000 and to the Reeds Creek Bridge $38,750, said Robin Kampmann, city engineer. The project is funded with 90 percent Federal Highway Bridge Program Funds and 10 percent State Transportation Improve- ment Project Funds. The county will be working on 13 structures, including the two on Jackson Street, as a part of the project. The other bridges in- cluded in the project are cross- ings at Red Bank Road at Red Bank Creek, Dusty Way at Oat TEHAMA COUNTY PublicWorkstoupgradebridges Community.....A3 Lifestyles........A4 News................A5 Opinion............A6 Sports..............
