Arrangements by F. D. Sweet & Son Mortuary, Orland, CA By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer A handful of Red Bluff resi- dents are rallying against Propo- sition 16 in a last-minute, last- ditch effort to sway voters away from what they feel could be a monopoly for Pacific Gas & Electric. Stationed Friday morning and Friday afternoon outside the local PG&E office on Luther Road, members of the group held up hand-drawn slogans on paper, stapled against rectangu- lar planks. The group, of which there were five on Friday afternoon, plan to repeat the effort twice more on Monday, Richard Clapp said. Chief among the group’s con- cerns is the two-thirds majority the proposition would require. Under Prop. 16, local govern- ments would be prohibited from expanding electrical service if public funds or bonds are involved, or switching to a pub- lic electricity provider, unless two-thirds of a that jurisdiction agree in a vote. Opponents of the measure fear that PG&E, which has poured tens of millions of dol- lars into the initiative, would be able to buy their way into any election that would threaten its hold over a given area. PG&E, meanwhile, has cam- paigned on the measure as a way to tie the hands of local govern- 2010 Continued from page 1A beyond the normal life,” he said.

Doro- thea, fondly known as Dorothy, was born in Agana, Guam. She was a loving wife and mother to 7 chil- dren. She worked part-time as a Dieti- tian from 1979 - 1980 at the Cedar Convalescent Home in Red Bluff. For over 10 years she proudly served her civic duties volun- teering for the VFW Women’s Auxiliary and the American Legion Auxiliary (as- sisting her husband Ken with the catering/kitchen), she also volunteered at the local Hope Chest. Her leisure time was spent trav- eling with her family and Muchong & Canasta. Survivors include Joaquin (Ken) Cruz of Proberta, CA., she was predeceased by her oldest son, Dan- iel Don Cruz, a member of the Armed Forces - Ger- many, daughter Sus- an Williams of Rich- field, MN., son Ken- neth Cruz of Jack- sonville, FL., Ester Rewerts of Red Bluff, CA., Elaine Cruz of San Diego, CA., Bobbie Smith- Cruz of Westminster, CA., Doris Aguero of Anaheim, CA., sister Epedia Santos of Guam and 10 grand- children, 6 great grandchildren.

Cruz, Both Parker and Robson said the festival went well. “Basically, things did run smoothly, for everybody’s purposes, as well as it could have, given that they didn’t have some of those other (conditions),” Robson said. Save for a Tuesday arrest, days after the festival, when a pair of Colorado residents were picked up with nearly 500 grams of marijuana, few arrests over the weekend were tied to the festival, and no one contacted the Sheriff to report vandalism, trespass- ing or other crimes neighbors feared would come from the event. “Outside the gates, we got zero calls,” Parker said. Parker said breaking up the festival would have been impractical with the resources on hand, which included a pair of deputies on duty throughout the weekend, members of the ments and prevent them from spending more taxpayer dollars. Even without its massive financial resources, the two- thirds requirement alone would halt any expansion of govern- ment electric groups, like Red- ding Electric Utility in Shasta County, said Diana Thompson, a retired Santa Clara County Administrator. “Getting two-thirds of any- one to really agree on something that’s complex is almost impos- sible,” Thompson said. Further complicating matters, a flyer called the “Voter Infor- mation Guide for Democrats” has been circulating, a guide which endorses Prop. 16 but includes a disclaimer that it is not from an official party orga- nization and an acknowledge- ment that Prop. 16 backers paid for its endorsement on the guide. Still, Clapp and others remained optimistic that the proposition would fail. As of Friday afternoon no one had come forth to confront the rally and the only response Clapp had seen was positive, he said. “A lot of people around here just vote no on everything,” he said. “That’s what we need here.” ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdailynews.c om. plane piloting experi- ence.

Soon-to-be Kansas resident Regan Albee, 18, will be catching a different kind of air as she follows a basketball scholarship out of state and into her future. But hoop dreams are not what keeps Albee up at night.

Impractical or not, Doran said he was grateful that the sheriff did not fight the event. “Thank you, Mr. Sher- ifff...Clay Parker could have pulled the plug on us at any- time, and he worked with us,” he said. Doran contrasted his event with violence in and around Red Bluff bars. While police reported a stab- bing outside a local bar over Memorial Day weekend, no violence was reported at the WHEE festival itself, he said. WHEE’ll be back? For Doran, the festival results, with roughly 4,700 people spread out over three days, are a blessing to con- tinue. “One of the band mem- bers’ gals showed up, and during the event, she went into labor,” he said. The mother-to-be was taken to St. Elizabeth Com- munity Hospital where she later gave birth. Doran and others took her delivery as a Daily News photo Geoff Johnson Richard Clapp, Red Bluff, rallies against Prop. 16 in front of the Pacific Gas & Electric building Friday on Luther Road. Clapp was accompanied by a handful of like- minded locals. — Albee is shooting for a career as an elemen- tary school teacher. “I love little kids,” she said. Adam Gilbert is look- ing for a different kind of teaching career. The idea of being a music teacher strikes a chord with the 17-year-old and Shasta College may just be the instrument to help him toward his music theory degree. It is not just the sound that plays well to Gilbert, he said. The storytelling potential for sign. “Steve Hager, from High Times (magazine), said we’ve consummated this ground,” Doran said. “It’s a sacred ground.” Doran now plans to begin work on next year’s festival and to begin smaller, weekly prayer circle gatherings every Saturday at 4:20 p.m. In terms of sheer cost, Doran admits losing money on the festival. But he said he expects some of the biggest expenses, like building better fences, grading a 1,000-car parking lot and buying giant water containers are out of the way. “I’ve had so many people approach me to say they want to have a regular thing,” he said. Applying experience from the festival, he said he would comply with future permit conditions. “The last thing I want to do is have any problems with this county,” he said. Robson declined to state whether the WHEE festival will affect how he rules on future permits for Doran or is supported by nearly all the law offices in Tehama County.

He also declined to speculate on what conditions might be issued on future events, but said any festival will have the right to appeal the conditions issued on a permit. Parker, however, said he had some suggestions for future events. “One of the things I would like to propose is to make sure that no one under 18 is allowed,” he said. 529-3655 www.affordablemortuary.net Located in Chico, CA neer. ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdaily news.com.
